This Saturday February 28, Paseo de La Princesa in Old San Juan will be transformed into a festival of bacchanalian revelry fueled by music, fine food, and most crucially, rum. In it’s 6th year, Taste of Rum 2015, sponsored by Rums of Puerto Rico, is slated to be the Island’s best yet. Celebrating over 450 years of rum production in Puerto Rico, this year will truly live up to the event’s theme, ‘450 years of party.’ Indeed, the origins of rum intertwine with the very history or Puerto Rico itself.
