AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Caye Caulker Rum recommendations?

So what are good rums to buy when I'm in Caye Caulker? We've got a fridge in our room and I figure to have it stocked with fruit juices so I can make drinks in the room. TIA.

Belizian coconut rum is sooooo sweet you can drink it straight out of the bottle......buy plenty..........wonderful w/pineapple juice

One Barrel is the best local rum. Also you can get duty free comming in. My advice, go to the split during happy hour and get any rum drink, gingerale and rum is my favorite! Or go any time for that matter. Also check out I and I, for a "swinging" time!

One Barrell has a interesting history.Up to the early eighties rum cost less in Belize than the heavy corked bottles it came in. You bought rum in small places on a "bring your own bottle" basis. For a small bar it was best to use the strongest and cheapest variety- One Barrell. It was sold as concentrated rum and you mixed it with water behind the bar to make various proof products from one barrel. A big company bought them out but returned the product to market when it's noticable taste proved a favorite of rum aficiandos worldwide.

Thanks for the info. I like buying local......when in Rome ya'know.

That's a cool story about One Barrel rum.

Interesting story and mixing rum and gingerale. I always thought it was rum and coke that went together.

Love Coconut so will have to try that mix.

Well .. . try all the Local Rum and then tell us about it right here! I know you will like one - One Barrel and Coke or Sprite ( local wiskey!)
