CNS : Despite being novices at drug smuggling, four Jamaican men have each been handed jail sentences ranging from two years to 32 months, a year after they were apprehended at sea with over lbs of ganja. Martin Trench 33 , Basil Smith 46 , Andre Russell 34 and Kendal Straumann 32 have been in jail since they were arrested last September after the boat they were in was spotted 27 miles off Grand Cayman by the police chopper. After that credit, the judge handed down the longest sentence of 32 months to Trench, who has previous convictions here in Cayman relating to drugs and illegal landing, and a month sentence to Smith, who has also previously landed illegally here. Strauman and Russell, who had no previous convictions, were given sentences of 26 and 24 months respectively. The judge recommended that all of the men be deported as soon as they have served their time and ordered the confiscation of the unregistered canoe which the men were in when they were caught trying to throw the drugs overboard. The men all said that they ended up getting involved in the foiled smuggling attempt after being promised a job on a fishing boat, but when they turned up, they all learned that this was not a fishing trip. All four men told social workers here that they were desperate for money as they had not been able to find secure work in Jamaica and had been promised several thousand dollars to take the drugs. However, the judge was not very sympathetic and told them that financial difficulties are almost always the motivation when it comes to drug smuggling.

Jamaica is a land of rainforest, mountains, clear cool waters, entrancing beaches filled with plenty of marvels; each corner conceals a treasure of the most natural of beauties. It is from this incredible and proud land that Kingsyaad Rum draws its unique characteristics. The local molasses undergo a long, natural fermentation that can take up to 2 weeks, during which wild yeast of the island produce its distinct flavors and give rise to high esters content. Rum is then aged up to 8 years in the tropical climate of Jamaica, balancing its aromas. The quality of the process allows for a rich, complex and yet balanced Rum with no added sugars.
