Their Sun Gold rum is lightly aged with a touch of Black Mangrove honey while their Saba Treasure is aged with a tincture of fennel. Alligator Bay's spiced rum, the tastiest rum of this type I've had yet, is infused with Florida orange peels, ginger root, cardamom, allspice, clove, star anise, and peppercorn.
