Rum Tasting The Belizan Way

Before we went to Caramba for dinner Eating Our Way Around Belize – Part 4, we were just strolling around, taking in all we could. We found the Traveler’s Rum store and decided to stop in. We asked if they did rum tastings, and that they did. They had quite a display of all their rums. At first we said we only wanted to try some, but Yvette, our lovely rum hostess, said to really experience the rum in the Belizan way, we had to try them all. Twist our arms. We agreed to her terms, but we told her to just give us little, tiny tastes.

I told her to smile pretty for the camera. She asked if I was going to make her famous. I told her I hope so. 🙂 She was a lovely lady, and very informative. Travelers Rum is a locally owned and family run business that has been handed down through generations. It has been around, winning various awards for its rums, for over 70 years.

Here we are, well into our rum tastings. Yvette is pleased with herself. We have made it through all of the tastings and we’re still standing. 🙂

Prince Harry and I are toasting with his favorite rum.

We travel all over the Caribbean all the time. We have tried so many Caribbean rums too. They are all different, and are all good, with their own unique styles. Of course we bought some to take home with us too. We bought a coconut rum, which I have already used it to make a coconut rum cake, but more on that later. 🙂
