Find out why Puerto Rico is the Rum Capital of the world on this immersive rum experience. You will start off by foot in the historic city of Old San Juan and pop in for an artisanal rum tasting at Scryer’s. During the owner-led factory tour you’ll sample small-batch rum that has been barrel-finished in Port and Sherry wine casks for further aging and learn the distillation process, methods and secrets of the experts.

During your rum experience you’ll also encounter hard to find bars that locals frequent. Grab a seat at the bar and kick back for your bartender’s live demo, preparing your first rum cocktail.

After quenching your thirst with a refreshing drink, continue your drinking tour to a panoramic lookout point where you can admire the world’s largest rum distillery. Continue on to stroll through 18th century plazas and cobblestone streets, making your way to round two to one of San Juan’s favorite speakeasies. You’ll be treated to an exclusive off-the-menu rum cocktail, crafted just for this tour!

By the end of the night, you’ll know all the best watering holes in town and will finish with plenty of time (and insider information) to continue the fun with a night on the town.  ¡Salud!
