calypso rum

[Snowy is dead]

I had a mojito at cuba cafe and they used calypso rum. Tasted like a light version of cachaca or rum agricole (in my very, very limited experience). Was this a result of the rum itself or a sugar or cane syrup added?

The only Calypso rum that I can recall isn't imported to the US, so I can't say where the flavor came from. I guess I'll have to go to Cafe Cuba myself and continue the research.

Calypso Rum is actually a product of Barbados, from the West Indies Rum Refinery, who also make Cockspur, Malibu and a number of other rums. According to the bartender at Cuba Cafe, you don't want to drink it straight and it's only sold to restaurants. That's enough for me.
