i switched over to rum last night to give it a try and it was delicious. I had a big bottle of Kraken spiced rum that was given to me years ago and I liked it. Had a sweetness that i found pleasant. Also made me feel like a pirate which is always a good thing. I will buy a few other brands to try the next time i go to the liquor store.
I've got a sign next to my recliner that my wife and son gave me for Christmas. It reads:
Drinking rum before 10AM makes you a pirate, not an alcoholic!
I like it.
I've got some Caribbean rum that will curl your toe hairs (or straighten them!) and some that will make you dream of Caribbean beaches. Sparrows and Captain Bligh XO from St. Vincent, and also the overproof Sunset rum. W0wzers. That stuff will wake you up and put you out!
