About This Experience

Discover Bahamian mixology at John Watling's Distillery. Prepare three signature cocktails, enjoy the historic estate, and earn your Rum Academy certificate. Step into the world of Bahamian mixology at the historic Buena Vista Estate, dating back to 1789, home of John Watling's Distillery, and discover the craftsmanship behind some of the Bahamas' most beloved cocktails. Guided by expert bartenders, you'll explore the legacy of JOHN WATLING'S rums and how they shape the island's vibrant cocktail culture. Your experience begins with the Cascarilla Sunrise, a bright and refreshing cocktail that captures the colors and energy of a Bahamian morning. Smooth JOHN WATLING'S Pale rum blends with the herbal depth of Bahamas Botanicals' Amaro, layered with orange and cranberry juices for a beautifully balanced drink with citrus accents. Next, indulge in the Skylarkin', a tropical and creamy delight. JOHN WATLING'S Amber rum meets RICARDO coconut rum, fresh coconut pulp, and coconut water to create a silky island-inspired cocktail, topped with a light dusting of nutmeg for an aromatic touch. Your mixology journey concludes with the Old Bahamian, a refined and spirited classic. Double-aged JOHN WATLING'S Paradise rum is perfectly balanced with apricot juice, simple syrup, and ANGOSTURA bitters, garnished with hand-picked fresh mint for a smooth and sophisticated finish. Between cocktails, relax on the estate patio, mingle with other guests, and soak up the warm Bahamian atmosphere. At the end of the experience, you'll receive a certificate and a recipe card from the We B Leanin' Rum Academy, a keepsake marking your journey into the heart of Bahamian cocktail culture. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for an authentic island experience, this immersive course offers a perfect blend of history, flavors, and hands-on fun.
