Nassau - Best local rum?

Hi all. What is the best local rum in Nassau? I don't want a brand I can buy in the US. Also I've read a lot about rum cakes. Where can I find the best of those? Thanks!

http://www.johnwatlings.com Check out their website. The rum is awesome and you CANNOT get in the States. :cool: We particularly like their Estate rum. It is a great sipping rum. I wouldn't recommend mixing it!:eek: The distillery is in a restored plantation. It is definitely worth a visit! BTW, the food is good, too!

How much are there bottles for purchase?

$20ish to $40ish. I agree with the other posters. This is a must see and worth the short walk.

Here is a tip: The well on the property has a unique history. You can looked it up. They will not go into detail unless you know the history. They are not proud of the facts, but the history is what it is.

what's the best rum you can buy in stores?

John Watling's is also in the liquor stores on Bay Street. If you want the flavored rum go for Ricardo's, better than Old Nassau.

I usually go to Murray's on Bay Street
