Strohs ( 80%) for making nun's tea on those frosty midwest mornings.

Otherwise a good cuban rum ( havana club) or Lemon Heart for sipping over ice.

My all time favorite rum is Yukon Hooch. It is actually a blend of rums with some proprietary stuff. It has a strong caramel flavor.

The coincidence is that I am just trying a new one for the first time. A friend of mine that manages the local liquor store recommended it, and although I actually drink very little, I was in the mood. And his recommendation is a good one. The rum is Young's Old Sam and it is deelish. Just what I need to wind down after a very stressful day.

Appletons 12 year old rum, that is what I was thinking of.

Except I would perfer the 375 rum, since it isn't such an overbore hog.

Which screech do you mean? the stuff they sell in the Canadian liquor stores? Or the stuff sold in unmarked bottles from the trunk of people's car in NFLD? The unmarked stuff is great though I haven't had any for quite some time.

Beenleigh Rum, from a little town of the same name (minus the rum of course). Located approximately half way between Brisbane Qld. and Surfers Paradise. It may not still be in business but you used to be able to take your own gallon container and get it filled with 150 proof for what it cost for a quart or liter. It was incredible.

You got me there, I couldn't tell you what shit taste like :} How many spoonfulls have you ate......Plus they say stuff is bad for you; Yuck............Yuck, Yuck!

Best rum would have to be
"Bundaberg Rum" and
"Bundaberg Rum OP" (Over Proof)

No competition

Hopefully you're right and the good stuff tastes a bit better!

CK:

Actually, I have not tried it, but...a good deal of the tasting sensation is actually perceived as result of how the smelling sensation is recording while you are eating whatever you are eating, unless it be something with a destinct taste that the tongue can distinguish: bitter, sweet, sour, salty. These tastes, your mouth can determine, but other than that, the majority of how a particular food-item tastes depends on how it smells to you. So, while I have not literally tasted $hit in my mouth, I do (as most of us do) know what it smells like, for the most part, and can base my statement around this principle. Unless [$hit] is sweet, sour, salty, or bitter, the nasal passage would be almost entirely responsible for determining how it tastes, and I doubt its tastes is like any of the 4 distinguishable by the tongue (seems reasonable to be able to doubt it to me; though maybe sour or bitter, no?)

At any rate, that's how you can justify using the expression, "tastes like $hit" in case anybody ever tries to get you with the bold and daring, "well how do you know what it tastes like?"

Literally though, that is not how I preceived rum to taste, though it wasn't all that better. The stuff I had was a rather impressive looking sort, as well: in a clear bottle with a black label and gold lettering it said Venezuelan Rum. It was volatile! And I figure that was pretty decent stuff...so what is bad rum? OH well, not my preference ( I did not mean to insult yours).

do they still make/sell Hudson's bay demerera? I looked for it last time I was in Canada ( Ont and Que) but could not find it (is it sold in ALta?)

The screech I had was a little different ... It was home brewed by a newfie out of molases so not technically screech which as you correctly said is the bottom of the Barrels..

White : P�re Labat (Marie Galante), Bologne (Guadalupe), La Cayennaise (French Guyana).

Have you ever tasted the "Ti' punch" drink? 1/5 cane sirup (brown is better), 4/5 white rum, and a piece of lime.:d

Old : Mount Gay (Barbados), Barbancourt (Ha�ti), Trois Rivi�res (Martinique).

Any Cuban is good enough to prepare mojito and da�quiri, tastes like frog's semen.

Best RUM in the world is STROH-RUM from
Austria (Klagenfurt).
Weidmansheil!
Martin

Other than that, Stroh. Drink nun's tea out in the woods with Rockhead.
