FOTTAC – Flavors Of The Turks And Caicos

This is our first time here, we decided to go in just to see what they had and they have sauces, jams and wine and other assortments. We purchase some jerk sauce, guava jam and some teas. Everything was delicious, I would definitely recommend and I wish they shipped outside of the country.

We went there to buy souvenirs and local Bambarra rum. We had some questions about the rums and asked if we could taste them. The good thing is that they have provide rum tasting for $8. We specifically said that we wanted "one" rum tasting and that we would share the flight. We were not informed was that it was $8 per person even though the second person just takes sip from the pour. So when we went to pay the bill, it was $16 for 2 tastings even though clearly the flight pour size was for 1 person. Now $16 is not a big amount or deal when you are vacationing, however, we felt cheated and this experience soured our afternoon. When we asked inquired why we were not informed that it would be $16 if the second person even just takes a sip, we were basically given a bunch of bull by the checkout lady.So overall, I would recommend FOTTAC for souvenir shopping (Bambarra cakes, Turks coffee and rum are competively priced) but would not recommend the rum tasting experience. Save your $ and just buy 6 mini bottles of all flavors for $24.

Great place to pick up some souvenirs!

Go for the Bambarra rum tasting, pick up some Bambarra Coconut rum and some rum cake!

The lady at the cash register, who was the only one there from the Philippines, was very nice
