    {Father’s Day Gift Idea} Tortuga Rum Cakes & Gourmet Products Review (& Giveaway Ends 6/29)

    By 575 Comments

    ABOUT:

    Tortuga Rum Company is a twenty-five year old family-owned business that is proud of their long tradition of making the finest Caribbean rum cakes and gourmet products.  Their products include Caribbean sauces, flavored coffees, chocolate treats, gifts and collectibles, authentic and original Tortuga Rum Cakes and of course, Tortuga Rum,

    Tortuga Rum Cakes and Gourmet Products are available in gift and specialty food departments and gourmet stores throughout the Caribbean and North America.  They are sold in the on-board gift shops of over 100 cruise ships and were names the 2010 “Best Cruise Souvenir” by Porthole Cruise magazine for the sixth consecutive year.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    My first experience with Tortuga was almost five years ago on my honeymoon.  I can’t remember if we purchased Tortuga Rum Cakes on our cruise ship or on one of the actual port destinations we stopped at, but I remember wishing I purchased more!  I just assumed you couldn’t get them anywhere else, and never got a chance to look it up.  Recently I came across Tortuga’s website when I was looking for a Father’s Day gift for my husband and I was so excited.  My husband absolutely loved the rum cake and it is something he would never have expected as a gift.  I wanted something unique and special this year.  I will also purchase a bunch more later this year as a surprise for our five-year anniversary.

    When I heard Tortuga made products other than their classic Golden Rum Cake, I was excited to try them out.  I got the chance to check out their Golden Rum Cake, Key Lime Rum Cake, Flavored Coffee and their popular Hell Fire Hot Sauce.  Both Rum Cakes were absolutely delicious and perfect.  They were the smaller size which were more for a snack or individual serving, and they were so moist and definitely made with rum!  Eating them make my husband and I feel a little closer to our island cruise we had taken!  The coffee was awesome and my husband is already bugging me for another bag as we are just about out!  It was the perfect to go with the rum cakes for a nice treat!  Finally, the Hell Fire Hot Sauce was right up my husband’s alley.  He loves hot stuff and the sauce was a nice surprise for him.  He has been using it on everything, and I mean everything!  I admit I haven’t tried it because I am  a wuss but my husband is all for it!

    BUY IT: Check out Tortuga Rum Company to shop for all their yummy products or look for them at gourmet specialty stores.

      Ohhh…sounds yummy. I’d like to try the pineapple one. Pineapple and rum together sounds like a tropical drink with a little umbrella. Thanks.

      id love to try the Coconut Large 33oz Rum Cake
      Freshly shredded coconut gives this cake its unique Caribbean flavor.

      MMMMMMM – everything sounds sooooo good!

      I think I’d choose the “Tortuga Banana Rum Fudge” – sounds heavenly!

      It would be a tie between the Tortuga Chocolate Hazelnut Rum Truffles and the Coconut Rum Fudge.

      Oh my! The first and last time I ever had Rum Cake was when my sister brought some back from her vacation in the Caribbean and it was SO SO GOOD. I would love to have some again! I checked out their website and the Chocolate or Coconut Rum Cake sounds absolutely delicious! Thank you for the chance to win!

      I would like to first try the coffee. I bought an original cake a couple of weeks ago at Bass Pro Shop. I seriously didn’t want to share. I want to go back and get the Key Lime one.

      Right now I’m enjoying a piece of Tortuga Key Lime Rum cake that a friend brought me from Jamaica. Yummmm! Wonder how the Tortuga Key Lime flavored coffee would be with that? Would love to try it 🙂 Might even try it as an iced coffee too.

      Wow! There are so many great things at the Tortuga Rum Company, Ltd., site! I would really like the Cinnamon Raisin Large 33oz Rum Cake. Yum! Too bad they don’t offer a turtle rum cake (pecans, caramel, and chocolate) since “tortuga” is Spanish for turtle!

      I’ve never tried any of the Tortuga products before. The one I’d like to try the most is the Rum Cake! Other than the Rum Cake, I’d like to try the Tortuga Chocolate Hazelnut Rum Truffles.

      I had no idea they made so many different products. So hard to pinpoint just one, but I’d have to say Tortuga Chocolate Hazelnut Rum Truffles for me.

      I bought some rum cakes while in the Caribbean and ate the last one last weekend. Would love more rum cakes.
