The latest Caribbean Home travels to the west end of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands for a villa where the views are worth the price alone.

This six-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom villa is located on a 3.739-acre hilltop on the west end, with views of Tortola, Jose Van Dyke, St john and St Thomas.

In other words, you’ll have trouble turning your head.

The property, which includes a infinity pool to gaze out at all these islands, is listed with Knight Frank’s Christian De Meillac.

The asking price was recently reduced to $3.2 million.

Rum Journal: Monkey Coconut Rum

It’s an obligatory test for any rum: how does it taste neat? But the neat test applies particularly well to flavoured rums: it’s the best way to really see what such a rum is made of — even if you’d never otherwise drink it without a mixer. You see, too often, flavoured rums are held back by […]
