The Countdown Is On for the Caribbean Rum Awards St Barth
Rare rums. Beach days. Pairing dinners under the stars. In less than a month, the Caribbean Rum Awards St Barth returns to Saint Barth, bringing together the world of fine rum with the island’s unmatched glamour and laid-back beachside charm.
This year’s festival runs Nov. 11–15, uniting distillers, rum experts, bartenders and travelers for five days of tastings, celebrations and world-class dining experiences. It’s an immersive showcase of Caribbean rum culture — from elegant opening parties to unforgettable nights by the sea.
The festivities begin on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa, where the Opening Night Party will set the tone for the week ahead.
On Wednesday, Nov. 12, the focus turns to Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth, where the world’s top rums will be blind-tasted by an international judging panel. That evening, guests will gather at Les Ilets de la Plage for a sunset rum party.
Thursday brings a dedicated Rum Tasting Party followed by a Rum Pairing Dinner — one of the festival’s most anticipated experiences, blending fine dining with rare, limited-edition pours.
On Friday, guests can enjoy another tasting event and a lively Caribbean Night filled with music, rum and island cuisine. And on Saturday, it all winds down with the signature Beach Day, a relaxed finale that perfectly captures the festival’s spirit.
If you’re sticking around Sunday morning, don’t miss the Rum Brunch at the Le Barthelemy.
The Caribbean Rum Awards St Barth has become a defining moment on the global rum calendar — a fusion of serious connoisseurship and unforgettable island celebration.
With the countdown officially underway, those hoping to join the world’s leading rum celebration still have time to secure their spot.
