You step off the van into a hot, fragrant lane where the air is thick with smoke from slow-roasted pork and citrusy notes from lime and sofrito. Walkways alternate between sun-baked asphalt and the uneven cobbles of Old San Juan; a short drive climbs into green foothills where a small distillery sits plain and unpretentious, barrels stacked like neighborhood furniture.
