Today I look at rum, especially the Suncamino rum. When I was growing up, rum was something only sailors drank. It was rough and ready, and the quality was poor at best. But this last year or 2, I have noticed more and more local and craft rum brands appearing.

Situated on the lush green hills on the South Western side of Mauritius is the Chamarel area.
