Top Picks for St. Lucia

Golden amber color. Aromas of brown butter, mulling spices, bay, and copper pot with a round, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a peppery, complex, very long charred banana leaf, strawberry, lychee, soy-glazed nuts, and tobacco finish. A hypnotic, pairable rum packed with layers of graceful agricole-like flavors topped off with notes of East Asian fruit on the finish; will be stupendous in cocktails and also deserving of a slow sipping session.

Golden amber color. Aromas of polished furniture, pecan praline, herbal tea, and candied ginger with a satiny, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a sleek, complex, medium-long dark chocolate, chicory, toffee, and peppered nuts finish. A decadent, nutty rum to share; a fantastic choice for complex cocktails and contemplative sipping.
