The Caribbean > Sint Maarten

Sint Maarten, the “Friendly Island” is in the northeast of the Caribbean, and is a fusion of Dutch and French colonial influences, evident in its architecture and rum-making traditions. The lush mountainous interior has a highest point of Pic Paradis and slopes down to coastal lagoons, salt pans. While the island’s rum production began in the 1990s, its flavoured rum scene is where it truly shines. Crafting vibrant flavoured rums that capture the essence of Sint Maarten. A popular example is Guavaberry liqueur, a delightful concoction that blends rum, cane sugar, and ripe local guavaberries. Those seeking pirates of the Caribbean will relish the history here.
