The Golden Age of travel revolved around Pan Am's Clippers — magnificent "flying boats" connecting adventurous people to exotic destinations and memorable experiences.
Join the jet set to discover the inner sanctum of Puerto Rico's most celebrated distillery with The Founder's Experience — Casa Bacardí's most prestigious and limited-access tour. This immersive encounter reveals the artistry, innovation, and heritage that have made Bacardí a global icon.
Pass through the Isla Grande district and view the historic airport where Pan American World Airways first landed in Puerto Rico in 1929, shaping the island's aviation history.
Continue to the renowned Bacardí Rum Distillery, rising elegantly along the waterfront. Led by a Bacardí specialist, you'll enjoy privileged, behind-the-scenes access to one of the distillery's aging warehouses, ordinarily closed to the public. Here, rums mature for up to two decades in carefully selected barrels. The atmosphere, redolent with oak and molasses, offers a rare sensory take on the tropical aging process that defines Bacardí's distinctive character.
The highlight is a private tasting in the Founder's Room, featuring a curated flight of Bacardí's most exceptional rums, including rare blends and limited editions. Expert insights, tasting techniques, and the stories transform every sip into a memorable moment.
Browse in the Casa Bacardí boutique for exclusive merchandise, collector's items, and personalized keepsakes available only to The Founder's Experience participants.
