Led by Chef Patron Andrew McLeish, Chapter One’s exclusive Bacardi rum tasting event in Locksbottom, Kent, provides a guided masterclass through five premium expressions. This sophisticated evening pairs world-renowned Caribbean spirits with bespoke gourmet canapés, showcasing the award-winning culinary excellence that defines our modern European dining experience.
The Bacardi story began in Santiago de Cuba in 1862, when Don Facundo Bacardí Massó set out to create a more refined style of rum.
Through experimentation with distillation, charcoal filtration and ageing, he helped establish a distinctive approach to rum-making that would go on to shape the Bacardi style for generations.
Bacardi Rum Tasting
Beginning at 6.30pm, our tasting will explore the heritage and evolution of Bacardi through five different expressions.
Guests will be welcomed with a signature rum cocktail upon arrival before savouring each of the five premium rums alongside bespoke canapés, expertly crafted by our culinary team to perfectly complement the spirit’s unique flavour profile. We’ll then round off the masterclass with a specially curated nightcap cocktail.
