TT HC to attend Royal wedding, present gifts of rum and pan

Trinidad and Tobago's High Commissioner to the UK, Garvin Nicholas, will represent the country at Friday's Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey, London.

He will present a unique blend of Angostura rum and a pan as gifts to the royal couple on behalf of the Government and People of Trinidad and Tobago.The rum was specially created for the occasion.

A media release from the High Commission described the rum. "The Angostura master blender describes it as a one-of-a-kind Angostura rum blend that was aged especially in charred casks to ensure optimal cask reactions of the rums during ageing. 

"It is a rich, dark chocolate, luxurious rum from Trinidad and Tobago that exudes a complex aroma with hints of caramel, spice, chocolate, banana with a smooth lingering taste of apples and toffee mellowed out with hints of vanilla," the release stated.

The rum will be presented in a crystal decanter that can be reused over a lifetime.

The pan, made of this country's finest chrome was also specially designed for the royal couple. It was supplied by Nestor Sullivan, manager of the Pamberi Steel Orchestra and was made by Augustus Peters of La Canoa Road, Santa Cruz.

The pan case and chrome stand were custom built by Sarah's Pan Case of 208 Eastern Main Road, San Juan, the High Commission said.

"It is hoped that these two gifts, the first which represents our finest rum by a company that has proven itself internationally and secondly our national instrument, the only musical instrument to be invented in the last century, will help to further market our nation and its products as well as signal our commitment to strong bilateral relations for the next generation of Royals," Nicholas stated.
