You don’t need me to tell you that the Haiti earthquake was devastating. And I’m not even going to pretend that its halting of the country’s rum production was the greatest tragedy. But it’s always sad to see an iconic rum producer’s future threatened, and so it’s good to see them back running. Their extraordinary efforts at helping their neighbors is also pretty slick! I thought about making a voodoo joke at this point, but decided that might be in poor taste 😛

This is fantastic news. A toast to Barbancourt’s future success with what it does in a barrel and what it does in the community.
It’s been my experience that what is considered “in poor taste” is usually a subjective thing. Depending on the people that you associate with, they may be more offended that you did NOT make a voodoo joke. In any event, it’s good to see them back up and running and helping the community to boot.
