Hotels ‘Select Their Own Private Barrels’
Bermuda’s luxury hospitality sector is showcasing bespoke spirits as Bacardi Limited expands its PATRÓN Tequila Barrel Select Program in partnership with Goslings Limited and leading properties including Rosewood Bermuda, Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, and The Loren at Pink Beach.
A spokesperson said, “Bermuda’s luxury hospitality scene is raising a glass to craftsmanship and exclusivity as family-owned Bacardi Limited advances the PATRÓN Tequila Barrel Select Program on the island, offering a collection of one-of-a-kind tequila expressions carefully selected by leading local partners.
“In partnership with Goslings Limited, the distribution partner for PATRÓN Tequila in Bermuda, the program brings together Rosewood Bermuda, Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, and The Loren at Pink Beach, each of which travelled to Hacienda PATRÓN in Jalisco, Mexico to select their own private barrels.
“From bright, citrus-forward notes to deeper, oak-aged complexity, each selection delivers a unique sensory experience. Barrels are aged to the partner’s specification—ranging from several months for reposado to over two years for añejo—resulting in distinctive expressions that cannot be replicated.
- “Hamilton Princess & Beach Club features a French oak-aged reposado with notes of cooked agave, citrus and black pepper, complemented by a smooth herbal and caramel finish.
- “The Loren at Pink Beach presents a reposado aged in a combination of American and French oak, offering layered aromas of citrus, banana and orange blossom with a rich, oak-driven palate.
- “Rosewood Bermuda showcases a refined añejo aged in whiskey barrels, delivering a complex profile of vanilla, caramel and spice with a smooth, lingering finish.
“A Bermuda-exclusive PATRÓN Añejo, hand-selected by Goslings Brand Manager Mikaela Denbrook and Bacardi Commercial Manager Jalen Harvey is also available and offers a rare opportunity for consumers to experience a richly aged tequila crafted for the island. Matured in whiskey barrels for more than 23 months, this expression reveals deep layers of cooked agave, velvety vanilla and toasted caramel, balanced by subtle citrus and warm spice.”
“This program is about bringing something truly special to Bermuda,” says Jalen Harvey, Commercial Manager at Bacardi International Limited, “Each partner has selected a tequila that reflects their unique identity and elevates the way guests experience premium spirits on the island.”
A spokesperson added, “The PATRÓN Barrel Select expressions will be available throughout the summer through curated cocktail menus and bespoke guest experiences at each property, with the Bermuda-exclusive PATRÓN Añejo available at Goslings retail stores island-wide, allowing visitors and residents alike to discover new dimensions of PATRÓN Tequila.
“The continued evolution of the PATRÓN Barrel Select Program underscores the continued investment of Bacardi in Bermuda’s hospitality sector, creating new opportunities for storytelling, premiumization and guest engagement.
