I think it went very well, though I'll let others expound on their experience. It's not an ideal setting- it would be better to have tables so there's a little more room, but we're just a tiny bar. Because it was such a challenge to get the rums at the last minute from various distributors, there was not enough time to get a list in everyone's hands. We'll do that next year for sure. The idea was to compare and contrast styles from different islands, differences in aged versus unaged, and aged versus "over-aged". Here's a list of what we tasted in order:

Cruzan Estate Silver (USVI)
La Favorite Blanc (Martinique)
Cruzan Estate Diamond (USVI)
Appleton V/X (Jamaica)
Cruzan Single Barrel (USVI)
Rhum Barbancourt 8yr (Haiti)
Rhum Barbancourt 15yr (Haiti)
Santa Teresa 1796 (Venezuela)
La Favorite Vieux (Martinique)
