You step inside a cool, shaded tasting room as humid Caribbean air pushes past the door; the scent of molasses and oak greets you first, then a row of bottles that have sat years in silence. The guide pours a small measure and talks you through the color—amber, mahogany, near-black—while the rum itself seems to hold a memory of sugarcane fields and long, slow aging.
