My Rum Diary # 10 - Caribbean Queen

I was looking at the bottles I've collected so far for the trip this weekend and while I think we've gotten a nice range of color as well as regional representation, we are still missing quite a few.

Here's the range I've covered so far:

Bottle # 1 - The Kraken - Black Spiced Rum - American Novelty Brand - Lawrenceburg, IN

Bottle # 2 - Pyrat - Amber - by Patrón - 15 blended rums aged in Limousin Oak and American Sweet Oak Barrels - British West Indies 

Bottle # 3 - Barbancourt Réserve Spéciale - 5 Stars - Aged 8 years - RHUM - Haiti

Bottle # 4 - Grande Reserve Plantation Rum - Aged 5 years - Barbados

Bottle # 5 - Brugal Ron Blanco Especial - Brewed by the Brugal family for 120 years - Dominican Republic

Bottle # 6 - Appleton Jamaica Rum - White - Estate Distilled Rum - Kingston, Jamaica 

Here's the map.

Which means we're missing the following islands: 

Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, Cuba, Cayman, Puerto Rico (I mean Come On!), the Virgin Islands (St. Crois, St. Thomas, St. John, Water Island, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke), Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, Redonda, Saint Martin, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Guadeloupe (Les Saintes, Marie-Glante, La Désirade, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Luica, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, Trinidad and Tabogo, Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire

so there's plenty of places to represent if you want to contribute!
