Oh, but I bet he is...but I'm sure any would do in a pinch.

Speaking as a long-term rum drinker myself, I wouldn't
bother with white rums. Inner Circle OP (unobtainable in the USA) is
good, a dark rum with lots of flavour and 75% ethanol content. Bundy OP
isn't bad either, we were drinking that last weekend, but it's only
57%.

I drink Myers's Rum (original dark 40%). I admit I haven't tried many
others...I don't care for Captain Morgan, too much spice.

Teenage children have some uses once they learn how much ice goes
in the rum. There may be hope for them yet.

Hehee. I will have to remember that, although I still haven't figured out
how to get my boys to clean their rooms get. Somedays it looks like a F-3
tornado runs through their rooms. :-)
