In a tribute to the Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) 50th anniversary, thirteen member states of the West Indies Rum and Spirits Producers Association (WIRSPA) are set to honour the regional organization with specially crafted rum blends.
This initiative marks the culmination of a year-long celebration of CARICOM’s achievements and contributions to the Caribbean region.
The participating rum producers, representing all rum-producing CARICOM member states, will present their commemorative blends during ceremonial events scheduled throughout the month of June.
These events are designed to formally acknowledge and celebrate CARICOM’s half-century of regional cooperation and development.
The distillers involved in this historic gesture include well-known names such as Mount Gay Distilleries (Barbados), Demerara Distillers (Guyana), Suriname Alcoholic Beverages, Angostura (Trinidad and Tobago), Saint Lucia Distillers, Belfast Estate (Dominica), Antigua Distillery, Grenada Distillers, Travellers Liquors (Belize), Watlings Distillery (The Bahamas), National Rums of Jamaica, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines Distillers.
