OUT OF AFRICA

Starr White Rum

LCBO 547653, $49.95

While the red, Christmas-tree-shaped bottle couldn’t get any more festive, the contents are truly noteworthy. This smooth white rum is 100 percent African: distilled on the island of Mauritius with packaging created in South Africa. Its flavours reflect its African roots; look for notes of cherry and cardamom plus hints of citrus, nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon.
