Experience
Private Rum and chocolate Tasting
Our rum tastings take around two hours. We try a minimum of 8 quality aged rums ranging from a few weeks old to 27 years. All of the rums have their own special qualities so some are shots, some are sippers and we have a few cocktails along the way throughout the experience we will be pairing said rums with Colombian chocolate and some local snacks. Please keep in mind that this is meant to be a private and intimate experience and no one other than you and your guests will be added to it. Other than that we tell a few pirate tales, have some rums and some laughs. It’s very important to keep in mind that this is not a class, it’s just us having some drinks but you will learn quite a bit along the way. It Costs COP290.000 Per person
