About
Hacienda Santa Ana is the home of Ron del Barrilito, the oldest rum in Puerto Rico. We offer several tours and experiences featuring our rum, which has been made here in the same way since 1880. Our Heritage Tour will take you around our historical landmarks and show you some of the methods we use to craft the world’s finest sipping rum. Our Tasting Tour is a unique opportunity to sip and enjoy all of our rums, from the cult-classic Three Stars to the extremely limited-edition Five Stars. Our Mixology Tour is an interactive class taught by superstar bartenders where you’ll improve your bartending game and learn to make show-stopping cocktails at home. Last but not least, here you’ll find the Ron del Barrilito Official Store, where you can purchase all of our rums and official merchandise not available anywhere else.

- Samuel T3 contributionsUnforgettable Experience at Ron del Barrilito - A Must-Do in San Juan!From the moment we set foot in the historic Ron del Barrilito facility, it was clear we were in for a treat. Our guide, Timmy, was not only a fountain of knowledge about the rich history of this iconic rum distillery but also brought a level of enthusiasm and charisma that made every moment of the tour captivating. The tour itself was a perfect blend of history, culture, and the art of rum making. We were taken on a journey through time, learning about the origins of Ron del Barrilito and how it has evolved into a symbol of Puerto Rican pride. The highlight was undoubtedly the visit to the aging barrels, where the air was rich with the aroma of aging rum - it was like stepping into a different era! But it wasn’t just about observing; the interactive aspect of this tour truly set it apart. The mixology class was a delightful and educational experience. Under Timmy’s expert guidance, we learned how to craft classic rum cocktails with a Puerto Rican twist. It was hands-on, fun, and, needless to say, delicious! Each of us left with not only a deeper appreciation for rum but also the skills to impress at our next cocktail party. What made the tour extraordinary was Timmy’s ability to weave stories and facts into an engaging narrative, keeping us entertained and informed throughout. His passion for Ron del Barrilito’s legacy and his warmth in sharing it with us were truly incredible.Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 25, 2023
- JP GuyerLas Vegas, Nevada41 contributionsAmazing Experiencehave done other rum factory tours in other countries and this was at the top! We arrived at the beautiful property on the wrong day by mistake an hour late. The manager was extremely pleasant and allowed is to change tour days so we didn't have to come back. The welcome drink was incredible, the property was gorgeous. Our tour guide was extremely nice and informative. There were a few people in the group who were a bit disruptive and the staff subtly directed them away from the group without further disturbance. The stories and explanations were incredible and I can't articulate how pleased we were with the attention to detail and customer service. I strongly recommend this tour.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 25, 2024
- LeAnn HNorthville, Michigan42 contributionsWonderful Tour and TastingI did the tour and tasting. I enjoyed learning about the history of a local premium rum and the tasing was very informative. The main house recently opened up for tours, but only a couple rooms. They are doing renovations on the rest of the house and will tour more of the house eventually. I would definatly come back! Great for anyone interested in learning about a local brand and is a rum drinker.Visited May 2024Traveled soloWritten May 26, 2024

Unable to get into the Bacardi Tour, we settled for the lesser known craft brand of Ron Del Barrilito (little barrel). For the base tour ($28), you get a 30" walk about with a well trained guide and then your choice of one free drink (all were excellent I believe), and access to more of the paid version. Our guide was very informative, to include that they do not actually distill here, but instead bring in fermented product and season and mature it here, and then age for various lengths in oak barrels from the US via England. Despite being in PR for 140 years they are now just starting to infiltrate the US channels. It is very small volume. Interesting, we were able to buy a 138 proof "mixing " rum. Nice bar atmosphere, some local history, guess I am used to most base tours being free though.

Thank you for your feedback, stuart T! Is good to know that you liked our artisanal cocktails and our Visitor Center atmosphere. Also, that you learned that we are an authentic rum brand since 1880 and Puerto Rico's oldest rum. We hope to see you again at the Hacienda and try our other spectacular experiences that we offer.

My husband and I did the Heritage Tour and it was great! When we walked in we toured the gift shop and enjoyed our complimentary drink from a list of options. We then went on the 30 minute tour that ended up being a tad longer because our guide was so informative and people had questions. It was so fun! And the guide was very nice about taking our pictures whenever we wanted. The tour plus drinks and taking pictures took probably about an hour total. Recommend if you’re in the area and have the time!

Great history. Octavio did an excellent job telling us the history and answering questions. Their Professional Bartenders really take care of their clientele. If you have a bit of time they will guide you to the perfect drink for your tastes.

The Ron del Barillito Rum Tour is top notch.
The hospitality is great, and so is the tour. It very informative and interesting. I learned a lot about the history of Ron del Barillito Rum. And there production of Witch Hazel during Prohibition.
The cost of the tour includes one free cocktail 🍸. You can sit indoors, or outside on their patio to sip on the cocktail before and after the tour.
We took a taxi there from our hotel in the Condado area. The drive there took about 15 minutes.
I highly recommend this tour.

The staff at Ron del Barrilito were wonderful! They really went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable (even providing me with raw aloe that they grew there for my sunburn) and having a great time. The tour itself was really fun! Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and could answer all of our questions, both about the family and the rum-producing process. And our complimentary drinks were fantastic! We got the Cigar Old Fashioned and the Coffee Old Fashioned and they were both superb. I definitely recommend spending a couple hours at Ron del Barrilito when you're in the San Juan area!

My husband and I love visiting different distilleries, breweries, and wineries when we are away from home. This distillery was the BEST one we've visited in years. We had the ability of having a 3rd generation family member be our guide Romeo and he was so informative and even though we do not speak Spanish he was extremely fluent in English. Loved the history of how they make, bottle, and price the rum. The Rum was amazing and I loved the fact that we received a cocktail not just a shot of Rum as a sample

Hello! Thank you for your interest in our brand! The P and the F on the labels of every bottle of Ron del Barrilito stands for Pedro Fernández. That is the name of our founder and the one who came up with the formula we all know and love today.
