Robert Bauer's Favourites
In my view, 2024 was definitely dominated by Jamaica, while the new bottlings from Guyana tended to remain in the background in terms of quality. It was also particularly pleasing to observe the increasing appreciation for the Agricole Rhum category, in which there are still great bottlings at fair prices. However, here is a compilation of some of my favourites from all countries and price categories.
