Discover the inner sanctum of Puerto Rico's most celebrated distillery with The Founder's Experience — Casa Bacardi's most prestigious and limited-access tour. Designed for guests seeking exclusivity, this immersive encounter reveals the artistry, innovation, and heritage that have made Bacardi a global icon.
Your journey begins with a scenic transfer to the south side of San Juan Harbor, where the renowned Bacardi Rum Distillery rises along the waterfront. A dedicated host welcomes you for a private check-in and escorts you to a reserved lounge at the Welcome Pavilion. A handcrafted signature cocktail sets the tone for the experience.
Led by a Bacardi 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 introduction to the tropical aging process that defines Bacardi's distinctive character.
The highlight of your visit is a private tasting in the Founder's Room, featuring a curated flight of Bacardi's most exceptional rums, including rare blends and limited editions. Your guide will share expert insights, tasting techniques, and the stories behind each pour, transforming every sip into a journey of discovery.
Before departure, browse in the Casa Bacardi boutique, offering exclusive merchandise, collector's items, and personalized keepsakes available only to Founder's Experience participants.
