I had a couple ounces of this last night at a friend's house and was sold. Kind of a vanilla/coco finish, and a bright amber color.

Anyone else like to sip rum by its lonesome in a glass?
 
I don't drink rum, but I thought that this was intriguing:

Black Tot Rum

It's dark like molasses, yet it glows. Even at a passing glance you can tell there's something extraordinary about Black Tot rum. But add to that the fact that it's the very last of what used to be rationed twice daily to British sailors?the tradition ended in 1970 on what is known as Black Tot Day?and it'll be confirmed that, yes, what you have in your glass is truly special, a spirit that is meant to be enjoyed sip by sip, and not downed like you're a man at sea trying to combat the cold Atlantic waters. This last batch of naval rum, which was stowed away in government warehouses and only occasionally tapped for royal events, is now available to nonroyals and nonsailors alike. But you'll have to pay $1,000 a bottle for the privilege?something that, if you're smart, will make you savor its taste even more.

Don't know that I want to spend a grand on a bottle, but if I see it at a restaurant, then I'd probably try it. You know, for the historical value.... :wink:

yeah. No shit, a grand to see if you like it is wack. I note that you can buy a mini-bottle for about a C-note (1.6-ish ounces) , so I may try that as you say....for the historical value. For a Grand I'll let Wade buy it and then we can go to his place and try it :p

Oh wait....his life is not his own now :lol:

Oh. If you in town, you might see Old New Orleans Rum being hawked....run away Buckeyes, run away.

For the average taste and headache the next day, you might as well go Everclear and Koolaid as buy this stuff...

That is good. Sort of the never ending battle between the pure cane juice/syrup crowd and the molasses devotees as to which - source - is the best for way to make rum.

For those of you who do not drink rum neat, think about the difference in Tequila you use to whip up a frozen margarita for a party and Patron for sipping. Same deal here, you throw Bacardi or Capt Morgan's in the mixed & frozen drinks, and have a bottle or two of sipping rum. Just like having shots of Old Crow is not a good way to spend your bar time, but drinking Pappy Van Winkle or Eagle Rare shots is, you'd be surprised how good some of the aged rums are for sippin'.

All of the good ones are aged in old (usually used whiskey) oak barrels.
