Hi!
In good two weeks I am travelling to Punta Cana.
I would really be glad If some of you have any recommendations, experience, suggestions of which rum distillery to visit.
Thank you.

Without having been there I’d only recommend A.F.D. since they’re the only ones that sell to independent bottlers.
Personally not a fan of Oliver & Oliver since they seem to have 5 brands but all kind of taste the same just with different labels and different prizings… Brugal and barcelo will probably be the most touristic ones.

Thx, I also think this way. There will be plenty of time to visit all of them…

On Monday I have an Oliver&Oliver rum tasting. Asked them if they could arrange some high proof tasting for me… It would make me real happy to experience the different aspect of Dominican rums🙂.
