Day 6 - Rum Distillery

Today was a proper touristy day. I managed to get some sleep this morning after the night survey before Poppy, Talitha, Mandy, Kate and I headed off to Rivers Rum Distillery. We had a short guided tour around and were shown how they make it. They produce 500 bottles everyday! We then got to try some tasters. At the distillery they produce 75%, 69% (1% less than the max allowed on aeroplanes so people can take it home) and Passion fruit Rum punch (16%). I tried the 75% and the Rum Punch as the tour guide told us the 75% was smoother and burned less than the more dilute 69% but The rum was so strong, I thought I couldn’t breathe after the shot! We all quickly had water and tried the rum punch which was much better!
