    I predict a few craft micro distilleries producing beet rum etc. soon in the UK. Seems to be the way things are going.

    Brandy bay & Tor Bay rum sound plausible.
    not sure Fishguard & Holyhead will make it.

      There’s a Welsh rum I’ve had that isn’t too bad.
      Down in the West Country, Lugger Rum | Buy Devon Spiced Rum | Lyme Bay Winery
      It’s spicing makes it more like rum & coke, but it’s not far from our other house, so always a bottle on the go at one or the other.

      Plenty of English rums out there, Rumbullion is a good example worth a snifter.

        Since you posed that I can't get my mind away from Cuba, all inclusive hotel, sitting a the pool bar, generous refills of Mojitos, and tapas, afternoon breeze, clear blue sea with so many fish I kept saying sorry to them when I was swimming and bumping into them.

          What?? All inclusive? So you're talking about Varadero? FFS.

          I went about 4 years ago for a friend's 50th birthday. Our itinerary was: Havana, Viñales, Havana, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Camaguey, Santiago de Cuba, Baracoa, Havana. All in two weeks, rubbish roads, dodgy toilets, friendly casas, local food and Cristal beer.

          I'd go back in a heartbeat.

            Two centre with Havana, I also hired a car and travelled around and did the good deed of giving lifts to the locals. I found it to be one of the safest countries to visit.
