点评:If you’re a lover of fine wines and spirits, especially higher-end spirits from Martinique, this is the place. They even had a 70 year old bottle of Armagnac at a price you can’t find in the US; so it’s definitely more than just rhums. They have the usual stuff for folks who don’t know what to look for of course but look past that for the good local stuff which is in abundance.
If you’re coming from the cruise pier, this is a reasonable 20 minute walk on fairly well marked sidewalks. They have security so you have to be buzzed into the store, but for a couple of US tourists, safety is always appreciated. Just press the buzzer at the door and they’ll open it for you. Once inside, it’s beautiful, clean, and air conditioned. Staff was SUPER friendly and spoke perfect English. They also take Visa, Mastercard, and of course US cash. No Amex though.
I was offered a tasting of some of the local rhums which I gladly accepted. I was NEVER asked for a tip which I appreciate. Naturally tip anyway when you receive guided and personal service like that. But $10 US for several tastings of rhum, that’s cheaper than the boat! Plus, the staff was able to help me find a local rhum at two different price points.
Overall, fantastic store. Safe and relaxed environment, friendly staff. Can’t go wrong. Whenever I come back on my next cruise, this will be a go-to.
翻译:如果您是优质葡萄酒和烈酒的爱好者,尤其是马提尼克岛的高端烈酒,那么这里就是您的不二之选。他们甚至有一瓶 70 年陈酿的雅文邑白兰地,价格在美国是买不到的;所以这里绝对不只是朗姆酒。他们有普通的酒,适合那些不知道该找什么的人,但不要介意那些本地的优质酒,那里的酒很多。
如果您是从邮轮码头过来,沿着标记清晰的人行道步行 20 分钟即可到达。他们有安保人员,所以您必须按门铃才能进入商店,但对于一些美国游客来说,安全总是值得赞赏的。只需按一下门铃,他们就会为您开门。一进门,里面很漂亮、很干净,还有空调。工作人员超级友好,英语说得很好。他们还接受 Visa、万事达卡,当然还有美国现金。不过不接受美国运通卡。
他们邀请我品尝一些当地的朗姆酒,我欣然接受了。他们从来没有要求我给小费,对此我表示感谢。当你得到这样的指导和个人服务时,自然要给小费。但是品尝几杯朗姆酒只需 10 美元,这比坐船便宜!此外,工作人员还帮我找到了两种不同价位的当地朗姆酒。
总的来说,这家店很棒。环境安全轻松,工作人员友好。不会出错。每当我下次乘船回来时,这里都是我的首选。
