Tripatini contributor Fyllis Hockman writes about her food tour of Barbados:

At Mount Gay "finally we got to the tasting. Romal instructed us how to hold the glass, to twist it to reveal "legs," to take in its aroma. One rum, aged three to seven years, was "robust and bold." The second, older, was "more complex with a more definitive 'mouth feel.'" That was the tasting. Not much to go on. At least my quasi-sophisticated familiarity with rum (after all, I had been in Barbados for almost two weeks) told me the second rum was smoother than the first. Did I taste the hints of salted caramel, cinnamon and fruitcake? Not a chance! More slinking."
