Rums of Puerto Rico Texas Tour
The Texas seminars will be led by Juan Lastra. The seminars will spotlight two leading Puerto Rican rums: Bacardí and Don Q. Attendees will gain insights into the brands’ history, production, and flavour profiles, with opportunities to sample and purchase them on-site.
In the evenings, the tour will move to select rum and cocktail bars across Texas, where Lastra will host guest bartender shifts. During these events, attendees can enjoy unique cocktails featuring Ron del Barrilito, Bacardí and Don Q.
Ana María Ramos Baquero, director of the Rums of Puerto Rico program, said: “Texas is a key market for the rum category. Many of our leading brands are already available in the Lone Star State, and with this tour, we aim to further enhance brand recognition and connect consumers with the unique story and flavours of Puerto Rican rum.”
With a growing demand for premium spirits and craft cocktails, the Rums of Puerto Rico tour promises a ‘valuable opportunity’ for consumers and industry professionals to explore Puerto Rican rum’s versatility.
Tickets for the tour and more information are available on Rums of Puerto Rico’s Instagram and the Texas Rum Fest website.
