MASTER CLASS RUM TOUR AT RUM BONAMPAK 

ONLY 20 minutes from Marina Chahue is Rones “Bonampak”

Master of the Rum Domain

These rums proudly display the Bonampak name and the Jaguar image, which pays homage to their heritage.

Bonampak Rum is named after the Mayan archaeological site in Chiapas. It literally means “painted wall” in modern Mayan.

The 8 year aged rum waiting for it’s final destination …

Rum is full of flavor compared to say … vodka

these rums are the most awarded in México. Crafted to satisfy the demands of traditional rum lovers and make sailors fall in love with this extraordinary spirit.

Kevin first mate of Exhibitionism a self-proclaimed life long rum expert geeing acquainted with Bonampak

The Jaguar appears in these ancient murals, and in the long and sacred tradition of ancient Mexican art and religion.
