Rummy,

Yes, they have Mt. Gay.  "Rum" is even spelled the same in Portuguese but
when an r is the first letter it's pronounced as h, and the u is long, so
it's pronounced "hoom."  8-)  But they also have another rum-like beverage
down there called cashasa (sp?)  Get this--they take a mason jar filled with
the right ingredients and hang it on a fruit tree.  Somehow they put the lid
on with the flower inside the jar.  The flower becomes the fruit, which
ripens inside the jar and the whole thing ferments and, viola!  Booze! 8-)
Different fruit makes different flavor and there are dozens to choose from.
They vary in proof from wine-like to kick-your-happy-ass-into-next-week!
Needless to say, I'll be doing more research on this matter.  I'll let you
know my findings.  8-)
