Cozumel's First Distillery: Exclusive Craft Rum & Gin Tasting

About

Cozumel's first distillery runs a 2.5-hour tasting that covers both rum and gin, which is unusual for the Caribbean islands where rum distilleries are common but gin production is rare. The setup is exclusive in the sense that it's a small-batch operation, and the $99 price point reflects that—you're not in a megabrand warehouse. With only three reviews logged, it's early days, though the 5-star average is promising if you take small samples seriously. The tasting walks through the production process for both spirits, so expect some time in the facility itself rather than just pouring flights at a bar. Viator handles the bookings, and the 150-minute runtime suggests there's a tour component plus the actual tasting. If you're on Cozumel and you've done the usual dive sites and beach clubs, this gives you a land-based option that isn't another tequila distillery. Craft spirits are still finding their footing in Mexico outside the agave category, so this is one of the few places to see it happen in real time.
