Macorix House Of Rum - Puerto Plata

Best to visit if you love rum. Plus it's affordable to buy drinks there. If your a tourists who is visiting from USA.

A tour costs $4US. Tour is fairly short but interesting. Highlights some important factors in producing rum. Tour ends with a as short video. After the tour you sample 8 or so different rums. Will give second tastes if you want. After the tour you head to the retail shop. Truly amazing prices. Beats the airport duty free by at least $3 a bottle.

Fantastic guided tour learning of the distilling process and tastes of different aged runs.

If you love rum, this place is a must-visit for you, if you happen to visit Puerto Plata. You'll know a little bit of history by watching a video presentation for few minutes before the rum tasting. The have different varieties of rum and although I'm not a big drinker, I love their flavored rum particularly the coconut. I love the facilitator, Edgardo, he is very cordial and engaging. Overall, the staff is great and the store is spacious and beautifully designed.

This was a very interesting tour, although short. My favorite thing was learning about the wood of the barrels and the aging process. Made to accommodate a large crowd but it is a relatively short tour. There is a video based on the history of rum and Macorix. I would prefer to see more of the process being done, etc. We tried 8 different drinks and they were all good. Just remember that's 8 shots ha. You'll walk out feeling a bit tipsy/drunk just enough to go spend an unreasonable amount on rum at their gift shop Plenty of photo opportunities but no flash photography.
