Caribbean Journal recently announced the upcoming Caribbean Rum Awards at St Barth’s Rum Week, which takes place from November 11 to 17, 2024. The Caribbean Rum Awards St Barth is now in its seventh year. Here are excerpts from “The Perfect Caribbean Luxury Vacation? St Barth’s Rum Week in November.”
Now in its seventh year, the Caribbean’s leading rum event is back again on the French Caribbean island of St Barth, the island’s popular Rum Week that combines an international competition and a party-filled celebration of premium rum. This year’s event will run from Nov. 11-17 in the French Caribbean hotspot. [. . .]
It’s a luxury vacation that lets you savor small-batch, artisanal rums from the top producers in the Caribbean while enjoying the gourmet food, remarkable shopping and beach lifestyle for which St Barth is so famous. [. . .] The event includes a series of tastings, rum dinners, beach parties and master classes alongside the unrivaled blind-tasting competition, which awards medals to the best rums on earth.
That includes the Uber-Premium category that includes a field of the world’s most expensive rums. Last year’s World Champion was the Don Q Reserva de la Familia Serralles from Puerto Rico. [. . .]
So who’s attending? The top premium rum makers from across the wider Caribbean. That means access to brands like Rhum Neisson, Flor de Cana, Bologne, Karukera, Reimonenq, Bielle, A1710, Eminente, Damoiseau and Don Q, to name just a few. [. . .]
