Well what can I say, just done the Rum tasting with Michelle. Very informative and funny. Great hour with Michelle going through the different rums and what to ask for if you’re at the bar in Barbados. Loved every minute of it with a singalong as well which was funny. She is a dream to have giving out the information. Well done SoCo great employee

The Rum tasting with Michelle was a magnificent start to our day. She is so knowledgeable and made learning about the different types of rum fun and interesting. As we have been told, *We are not drunk in Barbados, we are sweet* and Michelle has us well on our way for the day.
