RUM EXPERIENCE

The most treasured booty for any good pirate during those seafaring days of the Caribbean wasn't a treasure chest of gold, but a good bottle of rum. Today this caramel coloured plonk continues to keep the locals crazy and rum, or ron as it is called in español, is the national liquor of Colombia. 

We have teamed up with Cartagena's best mixologists to offer a special rum tasting experience. It's a great activity for bachelor groups, curious couples, foodies, drinkies, or anyone who is looking for an activity that gets them out of that hot sun!
This can be a private activity exclusively for your group of 4 or more, conducted in your own house/villa/boat etc or in one of usual the locations favoured by your mixologists. Or if you are less people (1-3) you can join a public experience, subject to availability. 

The rum tasting (here it's called a "cata", I still don't know why) will talk you through the ingredients, distillery process and creation and brief history of the glorious spirit, then the 5 special rums will be introduced and contrasted while you enjoy your choice of either Colombian rums Ron Caldas Tradicional, Parce Rum 8, Ron Medellin 8, Ron La Hechicera, Ron Dictador 20 or Caribbean rums ( selected by you, subject to availability). This is one of the most thorough explanations of rum by absolute professionals you will ever encounter. Alternatively you can opt for the more basic rum experience which does not include the distillation aspect featured in the full experience 

What's included:
Welcome Rum Cocktail
Thorough explanation of origins of sugar cane and rum
Taste sugar cane juice (called guarapo)
Explanation of fermentation and distillery process
Distill your own rum
Taste 5 rums complete with tasting board to stimulate senses during the tasting

Option 1. Full Rum experience with distillation
Price 185,000 pesos per person (payment required 48 hours prior to the tasting)

Option 2. Basic Rum experience (without distilling your own rum)
Price 125,000 pesos per person (payment required 48 hours prior to tasting)
As above but without the fermentation and distillery process and without distilling your own rum. For the tasting you can still choose between 5 Colombian rums or 5 Caribbean rums. 

Add-ons
Optional extras to enhance your rum experience

a) Colombian Cigar Pairing - 40,000 pesos extra enhance your rum tasting with a pairing of 1-2 Colombian cigars 40,000 pesos
b) Chocolate Pairing - 30,000 pesos extra for lovers of dark chocolate add an extra dimension to your rum tasting by including a tasting of two 75% dark Colombian chocolates. 
c) Aging kit souvenir - 60,000 pesos take home your own souvenir bottle of white rum containing American oak and with personalized label and watch the aging process unfold.
d) If you want more than just a taste, extra bottles of all the rums can be purchased at discounted prices. 

Rum experiences can be booked for any day or time, subject to availability. Please let us know your preferences in your email.

You can make a reservation or enquiry by completing the form below.
