Myers’, Coruba (if I can find it!!), Maui, Black Seal, Appleton Extra, Cruzan Blackstrap, and another I’m forgetting…

As for Ginger Beer, I’ve heard two things: Barrett’s, and home-made. I’d have to go with the Barretts first, to see what it’s supposed to taste like, before I made a ginger beer by hand. I had a Reed’s Ginger Beer last week – don’t do it! While it tastes great alone, they add some fruit juices and stuff which does not complement a D&S.

They’re extremely smooth already, they just need some more tastes underneath.

For the price, they’re on the high end of mixing rums in my opinion, but given the smoothness they’re on the high end of mixing rums! So yes, I do feel they’re worth the price.

The New Orleans rums are on my list, but I know of only one place in the area and I’ve haven’t been down that way in quite some time. Luckily I recorded which store had them, and I’ll grab a bottle or two when I make it down again.

Still, for the price they seem well worth merit.

It does sound like they could use a good aging, but oh the wait!

Speaking of young Rums, have you gotten any of the New Orleans stuff? I understand many a barrel was washed away in Katrina, but they’re just now coming back to market.
