Review: Toppers Caribbean White Rhum
Toppers Caribbean White Rhum is crafted with blackstrap molasses, reverse osmosis water sourced from the Caribbean sea, sugar, and a special yeast blend. The rhum is column distilled and charcoal filtered before bottling at 80 proof at the 6000 square foot Toppers Distillery in St Maarten. Topper’s is best know for their line of flavored rhums that were first crafted by Melanie Daboul in her home kitchen. These flavored rhums where first served as a complimentary after dinner drink at the two restaurants she and husband Topper Daboul own on the Dutch side of St Maarten. Because of customer demand these rhum’s were soon bottled for sale. I first discovered this brand through Broudy’s online website, and with a flavored rhum linup that includes flavors like Mocha Mama, Banana Vanilla Cinnamon, Coconut, and White Chocolate Raspberry I was hooked. First the bad news, Toppers is no longer available at broudys.com. The good news is Toppers Rhum is now available at Total Wine and More. I’m anxious to see if Toppers Caribbean White Rhum lives up to the high standards set by their flavored rhums. Read more
