Ma Dou Dou. I bought some while I was in St. Maarten. It's nearly impossible to buy in the States. If we're talking about best rum, that stuff is up there.

Yeah it does sound pretty lame but ever since I puked out Capt. Morgan years ago when I was 17, I have not touched any rum. However i'm bored of the usual stuff I drink and am looking to get into some good rum and tequilla lol. |

I remember I said something similar. i wanted to be that guy who goes home, kicks up his feet and drinks scotch. So Im with you, it was just hilarious because i could relate to that comment. Obviously its different. I would force myself to drink scotch rocks just to be that guy. It didnt last

Not sure of the brand, but I had some 25 year old Nicaraguan rum that a coworker brought back from there. 50 bucks a bottle, and the stuff sips like cognac!
The really good rums are much like tequila in that they have virtually nothing in common with the widely available stuff.

My sister got some of this when we were in Jamaica and it's pretty damn good. If you happen to be in the Caribbean, I don't think you could go wrong with most types of rum. |

my favorite is Captain Morgan, either the Original or Private Stock. For flavored rums, I like Parrot Bay - Coconut and Mango.

Nope. That's my answer to everything alcohol. Kettle One.
Unless of course it's beer, then my answer is "Bud Light"
