Local spirits in Fort Myers: what Reddit recommends
Reddit's r/FortMyers was asked which locally made spirits a visitor should look for, with rum the obvious guess. This sums up that one thread, which is about three years old, so check before you make a trip for one bottle.

The distilleries people named
List Distillery, on Evans Avenue in central Fort Myers, got the most detail: a wide range of rum, vodka, bourbon and liqueurs, a shop open daily, and tasting tours. One person likes its coconut rum, and another said it makes the Mr. Tom's brand.
Wicked Dolphin was named by three people for its rum. Red Horse, off Metro Parkway near Page Field, was recommended too, and one reply said all three offer tours. Devil's Isle got a single mention. The visitor's own conclusion was that Wicked Dolphin and List were the best bets.
Coconut rum
Two people recommended Nauti Beach coconut rum, which one said is made in Fort Myers by a group of women distillers and is very smooth. Both had bought it at Total Wine.
Beer
The visitor had already tried local beer on an earlier trip. One reply put Fort Myers Brewery first for that.
