Your best bet would be to -----
build your own!
A 5-gallon stainless steel, sealable, container with a rubber stopper into which you can isert a stainless coiled tube feeding off to a glass 5-galo=lon flask imbedded in a loosly woven material (kept wet) to gather the condensed water vapor.
Try that site about "How Things Work" on the internet for detailed construction.
I think a commercially rendered contraption would be very expensive.
Heating best done with an electric hotplate to avoid open flames.

Texes Bill I think you just might be on to something, but as Cc. Indicated The cost of the power if and when available would be a factor, So Propane would be the route to go......Hillbilly thanks but a commericial unit would not be cost effective ( I would think) I stand to be corrected.
With the cost of Labour here a home built contraption just might be feasible.
I can't screw the cap back on a Brugal bottle without striping it, so I would have to find a Dominican who knows about the distilling process and assembly.
I don't know, The more I think about it the more complcated it all sounds, Someone told me just put in 5 drops of Javex Bleach to each 5 gallon container and that would kill anything floating around in there! (anyone hear that one?)
A friend of mine said to me why Don't you just stick to Presidente?
Anyway thanks agian guys, I see its now Cock-tail Hour and in the DR that means Two for one...... or Happy Hour......You figure it out, I see CCCCCccccc smiling now!
