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.

Yeah, I don't like it either. Might be cheap, but not sufficiently so.

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. :-)

Give up. What I do for my teenage daughters is give them 24 hours
warning that I'm going to sweep the entire load of crap on their floor
straight down the passageway and into the bin. After the first time I
did that, they got smart enough to pick up the stuff they really wanted
before I did it. Lotta screaming & tears that first time but they got
the message. Still don't clean their rooms but I don't bother much
about it either, easier to go the clean sweep than pick over the bomb
site. I'm on a plane and somewhere else by the time they work out some
stuff is gone forever :-)
