Default Brugal Factory

Has anyone toured the factory recently? How was the tour? Worth the time? How long does it take? How much does it cost?

I don't think so, unless something happened I never heard about..I can't imagine that Brugal would see out to Bacardi. I know that Bacardi is in the country but not as owners of Brugal...

Where did you see this??

The tour is free and takes about 30 minutes (video and tour) and then you have the opportunity to sample and buy products. AFAIK Brugal is not owned by Bacardi.

It's something to do on a rainy day and it's free.

Latest rumour in Puerto Plata is that 65% of the shares are being sold to an English consortium. I have no idea how true this is:
Puerto Plata Digital

A factory? Or just a bottling plant?
