Forgive me --- I did not read ALL the post... but rum is important to me.
I am a 'dark' rum drinker - ok I was a sailor....
I look at it this way, the first drink is very important! Like "good" scotch it can make or break your day.( that is another adventure)
In this country I drink Brugal Extra Viejo, no it is not the best but I am going to have more that one..oooohhh nooo
If you like rum and 'drink it' then find one you like.
Of you want something to sip... enjoy....savour...Then buy the BEST cognac that you can buy ( that is another adventure).
