Review: Hue-Hue Coffee Rum

Review: Toppers Mocha Mama Rhum

Toppers Mocha Mama Rhum is one of six rhums crafted in St Maarten at the Toppers Distillery.  For years Melanie Daboul created several flavored rhums out of her home kitchen.  These rhums were given as a complimentary after dinner drink at the 2  restaurants she and husband Topper Daboul own on the Dutch side of St Maarten.  These rhums were so well received they were soon selling bottles of this rhum at their restaurant.  On November 1, 2012 they opened a distillery on St Maarten where they now craft their rhum.  Mocha Mama is a premium rhum made with roasted coffee, and decadent chocolate with notes of vanilla.
