Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
St Vincent Distillers Ltd
An extremely high strength rum from Saint Vincent. This is distilled from molasses in a column still.
Brown sugar, marzipan, coconut ice and stem ginger.
Quite dry with more candied ginger at the fore. Hot cross buns with butter, tropical fruit.
Very long, with hints of cocoa powder and grilled pineapple.

We first tried this rum at the distillery in St Vincent, neat for the strength it burns a bit but so smooth, have it with a splash of coconut water for the taste the locals enjoy, it’s a fantastic rum
I think some idiot has dropped a bottle of this into the volcano! Ok, I drank some neat with the locals (apparently the rule for the first one). Best mixed with anything to dilute the alcohol - lime water was the usual choice. I think the rum and coke at the bar was about half and half. Adds a kick to rum punch. Very nice, and smooth for something so strong. Lethal, but recovery is remarkably swift.
Genuinely best rum i've ever had and my go to when asked what rum I'd suggest. I've always been typically a dark rum person but this turned me. Mixed with Lemonade for a start i found it to have such a depth of flavour, you can genuinely taste all the flavour notes listed here. The real threat is with this stuff is it tastes so good its very easy to knock half a bottle or more back enjoying it so much and end up having it creep up on you and leave you Blattered.
Theres no better rum ... no hang over
Being very lucky staying in a remote part of Vincy with an islander and his family and friends (where this rum is around 5 dollars a bottle) I had time to appreciate and develop a healthy respect for the spirit. Their is a light taste of molasses but no real 'burnt' flavour which is fantastic. Its too strong to drink neat but is delicious with most mixers never overpowering them In excess its dangerous. Seasoned hard drinkers beware.. I am not one btw but underestimating the deceptively tasty Sunset is a fools game.
