Dear fellow rum webmaster...

I have little doubt that you are aware that many of our beloved Caribbean rums may be forced out of business by the massive subsidies recently received by Diageo and Fortune in the USVI.

Plantation is one of them.

I urge all to read author Davin Kergommeuax's article "Rum War Threatens Small Caribbean Producers", in which he interviews Dave Broom about this threat and what can be done...

There is also a petition afficialted with this post, to which Davin and Broom are signatories. Caribbean rum as we know it is at risk of being forced out of business. Unbelievable, but true.

The formal petition is here:

We all need to join together and oppose the ruination of find Caribbean and American rums.
