Spaniards brought sugar cane crops from Hispaniola (today the Dominican Republic). The island\u2019s first sugar cane mill was constructed in 1517. By the mid-19th century more than 700 sugar cane plantations had been established, as well as a good number of sugar refineries and rum distilleries. Although the sugar industry eventually diminished, rum-making endured. Today the rum industry adds over $300 million to Puerto Rico\u2019s economy annually. It\u2019s also responsible for more than 700 jobs in the island\u2019s distilleries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-2093_jpeg-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-2093_jpeg-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-2093_jpeg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-2093_jpeg-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-2093_jpeg-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-2093_jpeg-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A flight of rum at La Casita de Rones \/ Discover Puerto Rico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-distillery-tours\">Distillery tours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a taste of Puerto Rico\u2019s rich rum history, book a tour or mixology class at one of the distilleries.

Tour Aroma Station \/ Discover Puerto Rico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Don Facundo Bacard\u00ed Mass\u00f3 purchased a small distillery in Santiago de Cuba in 1862, it was the beginning of a rum revolution. Over the next several decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bacardi.com\/us\/en\/casa-bacardi\/tickets\/\">Bacard\u00ed<\/a> rum earned celebrity status and even helped fuel tourism to Cuba from the U.S. during the Prohibition era. In 1930, they built distilleries in Mexico and Puerto Rico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The facility located here is the world\u2019s largest premium rum distillery. Hone your cocktail making skills with the Mixology Class, where you\u2019ll craft the classic Mojito and shaken Pi\u00f1a Colada. During the class, you\u2019ll learn more about Bacard\u00ed\u2019s history, as well as pick up a few new bar skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rum Tasting Tour showcases Bacard\u00ed\u2019s premium rums and includes a chocolate pairing. A trolley tour to the family museum and an overview of the company\u2019s history are part of both experiences. If you aren&#8217;t able to secure a tour or have less time to enjoy the distillery, consider the Casa Bacard\u00ed Bar Visit. A ticket gets you a tasty cocktail, a locally-made empanada and the chance to chill at the waterfront Pavilion with a fantastic view of El Morro, an iconic fortification and UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t            \n\t<div data-place-id=4724 class=\"ranking-card\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"ranking-card__info grid-x h-padding-bottom-25 h-margin-bottom-25\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div

flavors at San Juan Artisan Distillers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanjuanartisandistillers.com\/home\">San Juan Artisan Distillers<\/a> is located about 22 miles (34 km) west of San Juan. It\u2019s Puerto Rico\u2019s only working sugar cane plantation estate and distillery. Inspired by the use of sugar cane early rum makers in Puerto Rico used, owner Pepe Alvarez planted his first crop and started the process of creating his own rum distillery. However, before they were able to harvest it, Hurricane Maria destroyed the crop entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That setback only fueled his imagination. The result: fruit-flavored rums made with fruits locally sourced from farms in San Sebasti\u00e1n, Santa Isabel, Manat\u00ed and other regions. Tour guides provide insight into their rum making process and showcase the company\u2019s dedication to sustainability. The 1\u00bd-hour tour concludes with a sampling of rums crafted by San Juan Artisan Distillers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t            \n\t<div data-place-id=4725 class=\"ranking-card\" >\n\t\t<div

Island Rum Distillery<\/a> is the first distillery on Puerto Rico\u2019s southeast island of Vieques, where owner Ivan Torres was born and raised. He returned to the island to pursue his dream of creating handcrafted artisanal rum after earning his college and master\u2019s degrees in the states. Torres sought the guidance of renowned rum master Luis Planas, who mentored him through the early stages of developing the business. Ingredients for the coffee and orange infused brands are sourced from local growers on Puerto Rico\u2019s main island. Free distillery tours and tastings are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-rum-experiences\">More rum experiences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-1281_jpeg-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-1281_jpeg-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-1281_jpeg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-1281_jpeg-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-1281_jpeg-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.plateapr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/191-3-1281_jpeg-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>La Casita de Rones \/ Discover Puerto Rico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Situated in the heart of Old San Juan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lacasitarums.com\/\">La Casita de Rones<\/a> opened its doors in 2016.

The program provides visitors an easy way to book rum tours, experiences, events and buy merchandise. You can either go to their website or book through the app which is available in iOS and Android via the App Store or Google Play. They offer a selection of rum distillery itineraries, as well as tips on additional places to explore in each destination. Available itineraries feature many of the above-mentioned distilleries, with Casa Bacard\u00ed being the most popular. The app also offers a \u201crum experts\u201d experience where users can unlock collectible badges on their digital passport to win prizes and level up their rum expert status.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHopefully, this program will make Puerto Rico a rum destination and spread the word that our rum heritage has not been discovered by all who visit the island,\u201d shares Vazquez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> Calle Comercio San Juan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tel:<\/strong> 787-966-7042<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong> Call program for details<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t have to be a rum connoisseur to appreciate the indelible mark this iconic spirit has made on Puerto Rico\u2019s narrative&nbsp; Often called \u201cThe Rum Capital of the World,\u201d Puerto Rico produces 70 percent of the rum sold in the U.S. The island\u2019s rum production dates back to the early 16th century.
