In Haiti, a rum everyone can agree on
Rhum Barbancourt is a national tradition, surviving the tumult of the last century and a half. Whether it is weddings or holidays, or raising voodoo spirits, no other will do.
Haitian sugar cane growers have been hit by the Jan. 12 earthquake, as have Barbancourt's own workers. One-fifth of the rum maker's employees were left homeless. (Carolyn Cole / Los Angeles Times / February 3, 2010) |
