Our Story
From Orange Walk, with character
Cuello's Distillery Ltd. is a longstanding Belizean distillery, a name built on Main Street, Orange Walk Town, and carried across the country one bottle at a time.
Roots
A town, a trade
Orange Walk is sugarcane country, the heartland of Belize's sugar industry. It is here that the Cuello's name became tied to the craft of rum and spirits.
The distillery on Main Street distils, blends and bottles its spirits at home in Orange Walk Town, the same address printed on every label.
The Trademark
The mark of the ocellated turkey
Every genuine Cuello's bottle carries the Rums of Belize trademark, the ocellated turkey, a bird found in the forests of northern Belize. It is a promise on the label: a product of Belize.
The Craft
Distilled, blended & bottled at home
