However, I didn't have such an experience here despite ordering a rum flight (which should be quite telling in and of itself - I am here to try and learn more about rum). When they brought the rum flight over, the staff did explain the different styles of rum to us (French, Spanish, English), and suggested the order in which we should try them.
