I will hopefully be visiting the Caribbean later this year and thought that we could gather some rum related travel recommendations. I’d love to have a list of places that are worth going to and really enjoyed reading the report from @Jarek. And I think @crazyforgoodbooze was sharing is impressions of Madeira at some point as well.
From Jarek I took the following information (hope my interpretation is right, his favorites are marked bold):
Martinique:
Habitation Clement: not active, nice museum incl. ‘smelling room’, standard range in shop
J.M.: long drive, but beautiful, no guided tour but you can walk around
standard range in shop
La Favorite: small but very accessible, small shop
Neisson: modern, almost sterile, not very accessible, big but expensive shop
Depaz: standard range in shop
St. Lucia:
St. Lucia Distillers: 10 USD/p.p., short guided tour, small shop
Guadeloupe:
Bologne: great guided tour for 8.5 Euro, nice shop
Damoiseau: beautiful, very accessible, nice but expensive shop
ReimonenQ: rundown with decent shop
Marie Galante:
Bellevue: big and modern but with character, shop with lots of merch
Bielle: no access to barrel house, shop with good selection
Poisson: small, accessible, shop with mainly unaged rums
Has anyone been to Barbados and can recommend anything?
