Office rum tasting

Office is mostly empty so we’re doing some rum tasting. Not my favorite drink. Mhoba smells like the bottom of a dumpster, but decent taste. Supposedly makes a good mix drink too.

although I did share a bottle of Ron de Barrelito with some of my siblings and cousins once and it was pretty good straight.

Like bourbon, the first sip is just a burn. The Guyana was my least favorite as every taste felt like a burn. Employee liked it the best. YMMV. The hogo rums smell so bad.
I'd prefer to stick with a bourbon.

Went there once, had a few decent pours, but wasn't tripping over myself to get back there.

I do know you will yak if you guzzle about 4-5 shots from a Bacardi Light bottle that's been locked in a car in the hot sun all day.

January of this year
drank a bunch of old fashioned but asked them to swap out the rum for bourbon (because that is what is in an old fashioned) in their specialty drinks
their version:
RUM OLD FASHIONED
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition - Timothy Leary
El Dorado 5yr, Orange, Bitters $17
Santa Teresa 1796 Rum, Santa Teresa 1796 Bitters $18
in a related note, drank a couple of old fashioned last night at the bar in Calhoun Corners

The left one is the original & it is great - especially if you are already pretty buzzed & on a cruise ship.

Toured the Bacardi distillery in PR in mid/late 90's. The smell of that place kinda ruined rum after that.

We usually make mixed drinks with cheap silver rum. Otherwise, I hate the stuff. Mojitos all the way though.
