Most rum distillers import molasses from other countries. But at this plant just half an hour west of San Juan, we got to walk through sugar cane fields, visit the barrel room, see the distillation tanks, learn what experimental flavors are brewing in the lab, watch staff label the bottles, and of course taste the various flavors of rum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A family-owned company that launched in 2011, San Juan Artisan Distillers produce handcrafted ron ca\u00f1a (sugar cane rum) of exceptional quality infused with local tropical fruit, natural flavors and spices. The distillery makes six fruit-infused rums under the brand Tresclavos\u2014Ginger Spice, Sweet Pi\u00f1a, Passion Parcha, Rumba Mango, Coco Loco, and Bili Quenepa\u2014as well as an award-winning signature rum called Ron Pep\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the only rum distiller on the island that can offer a tour of the rum process from the sugar can plant all the way to your lips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_135736-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" data-id=\"1973\" src=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_135736-1024x461.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_135736-1024x461.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_135736-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_135736-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_135736-1536x691.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_135736-2048x922.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_142659-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" data-id=\"1976\" src=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_142659-1024x461.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_142659-1024x461.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_142659-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_142659-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_142659-1536x691.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_142659-2048x922.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_144327-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" data-id=\"1975\" src=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_144327-1024x462.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_144327-1024x462.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_144327-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_144327-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_144327-1536x692.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_144327-2048x923.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_145329-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" data-id=\"1974\" src=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_145329-1024x462.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_145329-1024x462.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_145329-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_145329-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_145329-1536x692.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220411_145329-2048x923.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Monica, for the informative &#8212; and delicious!
