Where Rum Crossed the Caribbean

Saint Thomas • Saint John • British Virgin Islands

For centuries, the Virgin Islands served as bustling ports where ships carried Caribbean rum, sugar, and spices across the Atlantic. Their sheltered harbours became gathering places for merchants and sailors, helping spread the region's most celebrated spirit far beyond its shores. Today, that rich maritime heritage still lingers in the waterfront towns and relaxed island culture your clients will discover along the way.

French Islands, French Influence

Guadeloupe • Saint Barthélemy

Unlike many Caribbean islands that produce traditional molasses-based rum, the French Caribbean is famous for rhum agricole—a distinctive style distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses. The result is a brighter, more aromatic spirit that reflects the islands' French heritage and agricultural traditions.

Where Sugar Became History

Nevis • Antigua

Long before Caribbean beaches became world famous, these islands were known for their vast sugar plantations. Rum emerged as a natural extension of that industry, evolving over generations into one of the Caribbean's defining exports. Today, every glass offers a taste of the region's rich cultural history and craftsmanship.
