Step into the shoes of a rum master blender at Casa Barú's exclusive 'Craft Your Own Rum' workshop, an immersive experience in the heart of Panama City's vibrant Casco Viejo. Forget traditional tastings; here, you actively participate and master the art of rumblending. During this one-hour session, discover the Casa Barú production method, our raw materials and the secrets of distillation. This is not just about tasting; it is about understanding the science and passion behind every drop. Guided by expert instructors, you will explore different flavor profiles. We talk about the aromatic notes, giving you the freedom to design and mix your own custom rum recipe, perfectly tailored to your palate. Once your master blend is perfected, bottle it in a 235 ml hip flask or a 700 ml bottle. While you seal your creation, enjoy a complimentary cocktail. Take home the ultimate souvenir capturing your creative journey: a completely unique bottle of rum that exists nowhere else in the world.

Great experience

My husband and I just walked in and the timing was perfect, we were warmly greeted and did a rum class, made our own run and had it in a flask

Listen when I say this entire experience was 10/10. From the time we got there we were greeted with smiles and a very warm friendly welcome. The making of your own rum was amazing. I would recommend to anyone. This is a must do in panama
