Rum Tasting Experience

The Dominican Republic produces some of the world's finest aged rums, and a guided tasting session is the perfect way to appreciate the artistry behind brands like Brugal, Barceló, and Ron Bermúdez. Held at distillery tasting rooms, rum bars, or resort venues, these sessions go well beyond simple drinking.

A knowledgeable rum sommelier guides you through a flight of 4-6 different expressions — from young, crisp white rums through golden reservas to complex, oak-aged extra-añejos that rival fine scotch or cognac. You'll learn to identify tasting notes like vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and tropical spice, and understand how aging, barrel selection, and blending create distinct flavor profiles. Most sessions conclude with instruction on crafting classic Dominican cocktails.
