Colombian Rum & Chocolate Experience
Taste 10 Colombian rums and pair them with 10 different chocolate creations. Can you drink 10 rums?
Young beginnings
We kick off the night with bright, youthful rums aged just a few months to a few years. Paired with our homemade bean-to-bar chocolate.
Deepening the journey
As the evening unfolds, we transition into traditionally aged rums up to 15 years, paired with our own artisanal chocolates and a spicy ancestral cacao shot. For a refreshing pause, we treat our hands to a lovely chocolate exfoliation.
A superb finish
We bring the experience to a stunning close with Colombia's most premium bottles, featuring a superb Solera blend between 12-21 years. To cap off the night, we pair one of these heavy-hitters with a warm spoon of rich, pure, melted chocolate.
