Rhythms & Flavors Of Grand Cayman

OVERVIEW

Sample some of Grand Cayman’s most characteristic rum, beer and cuisine and learn about their place in the island's culinary culture. Rum has long been associated with the Caribbean as it is typically made with sugar or molasses, two products prevalent in the islands. Grand Cayman is no exception as you will discover while visiting a rum distillery, after which you will be offered a tasting of the spirit. The island may be even more well-known for its cakes made with barrel-aged spiced rum, which you will enjoy during another sampling. A tasting at a local brewery will reveal some of the tropical flavors such as mango that are used in the production of beer. Although jerk-style cooking may have originated in Jamaica, it has been popular on Grand Cayman. However, the spices can be somewhat different, which you will likely notice at yet another sampling.
