Trinidad Carnival is often described as the greatest show on Earth — a fusion of rhythm, colour, and pure celebration. But as the 2026 season approaches, one issue is stirring plenty of debate: the rising cost of alcohol.

When you think of Jamaica, images of reggae rhythms, turquoise waters, and vibrant culture spring to mind — but no symbol captures the island’s spirit quite like Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum. Bold, fiery, and unapologetically Jamaican, this legendary rum isn’t just a drink — it’s a national treasure.
