Calling all rum-aholics! Sugarhall has recently launched the Rum Book ($18), a journal in which patrons may make their rum tasting notes and embark on a journey to discover the complexities and joy of rum. We highly recommend starting with the full-bodied Sugarhall exclusive Berry’s Finest Caribbean Rum($24++/jigger) if you haven’t already (we hear that stocks are quite limited already!) and the slightly sweet Rum Nation Demerara Solera Rum 14 Years ($18/jigger).
