About Sting Power
Sting Power is the second of St Lucia Distillers' fortified wines, a robust one made with added vitamins, iron and bois bandé, the Caribbean tree bark long sold in the region as a tonic. The distillery's own description promises a potent and arousing rush that leaves the drinker less inhibited, which places it squarely in the Caribbean tonic-wine tradition.
