drinking alone on the worst possible night of the week, why do I always do it???

All the best rums come from the Caribbean: Puerto Rico, D.R., Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Guadeloupe, etc.

Best Rum in the World from GUyana called El Dorado 15 year

Yup. That's "southern" Caribbean.


Remember... rum is derived from sugarcane. The Caribbean is THE region for sugarcane.
Thus, the expertise.

Just like Mexicans have a monopoly on tequila and Russians have one on vodka.

I've been to the Appleton estate in Jamaica where I learned that Molasses is just a by product of making Rum. I also learned that expensive Rum is so so worth it.

I also learned that molasses is black treacle and that Americans actually get annoyed when we call it black treacle.
