Our hostess, Alejandra, was fun, very well versed in the different types of rum that she served us. The whole experience was great, from tasting, to chatting with Alejandra, to asking questions and receiving proper answers. In the end, we stayed for dinner as well. Arsenal is a cute small venue with very nice staff and good food. I’d totally go back to just have a drink with friends. Quite enjoyed the place. For people who want to try different types of rum, this is a fun one to try

We were a group of 7 and loved our Private Rum Tasting with Sebastian! We tasted 8 rums and had a delicious cocktail as well that was Sebastians own creation. Passion Rouge! We got to learn about the local rums to Cartagena and Colombia and enjoy some chocolates/small tapas paired with them. Delicious! We mentioned checking on the chocolate shop afterwards and Sebastian was sweet enough to take us over and give us a brief tour of the small factory as well. Very much worth it!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear your group had such a great time with Sebastian. It’s great to know you enjoyed the variety of rums and his signature cocktail — Passion Rouge sounds like it was a hit! We love creating fun and memorable group experiences. Hope to see you all again soon!
