Tropical Vibes & High-Proof Finds: Topper’s Rhum Distillery Tour 🥃🌴
Caribbean Rum Trail - Part 1 of 3
Ever wondered what happens when Kentucky Bourbon obsession meets Caribbean Rum craftsmanship? We’re taking you inside the world-famous Topper’s Rhum Distillery in Cole Bay, St. Maarten, for an exclusive look at their "boutique" operation and a tasting of their most prestigious bottle: Crazy Dave.
In this episode, we share our incredible luck meeting co-owner Tony King, who is bridging the gap between rum and bourbon with his experimental use of new charred oak barrels and Buffalo Trace-inspired toast levels. From watching planes skim heads at Maho Beach to sampling over 40 different rums (including rum gelato!), this was the ultimate St. Maarten excursion.
🏴☠️ The Star of the Show: Crazy Dave Rhum
We’re cracking open the Distillery Exclusive "Crazy Dave" Rhum. At 95 Proof, this isn't your average mixer. It’s a bold, complex sipping rhum created to honor Topper’s most iconic guide. We even took a bottle back to Kentucky to see if "Crazy Dave" could impress our friend "Old Cranky Dave" from Glenns Creek!
In this video:
📜 The History: From Meredith Pratt’s "kitchen table" flavors to a global award-winning brand.
