Stefan Persson

My adult rum journey started as for most people with the sweet Spanish styled “Ron”. Nowadays I’m more into the English styled “Rum” and I have also started to explore the Agricole.
Right now I have around 150 different bottles in my private Rum bar (which I have created a cabinet of further down) and around 240 in total.
My favourite brand is English Harbour and Antigua is the only island that I have payed a visit in the Antilles.
My “Spanish” favourites are right now Ron Zafra and Ron Malecon Rare Proof.
My “English” favourites (except from English Harbour) is to find among the Bajan and Jamaican brands.
My “French” favourites is mainly to find among those from Guadeloupe, especially Montebello and Reimonenq. But also some from Martinique, for example Depaz and Dillon.
