St Barthélemy / Rum
No rum is made in St Barths, but the islanders have a reputation (as they do generally in the French Caribbean) for flavouring rums. The rum itself is imported and then it is steeped with local fruits and spices, resulting in a rich, fruity and mellow taste. St Barths’ most famous producer is Chez Ginette in Anse des Cayes, whose rums are incredibly strong. She has around 120 of them, flavoured with fruits and flowers. You are advised not to drive after a tasting.
