A friend of mine bought a bottle of "Casa Bacardi" "Limited Edition Rum" last week. It was dusty and sitting at the back of the shelf hidden by other bottles of rum. Neither he or I have seen any information on this rum and would like to know more about it and if it's still available(which I doubt). It is called "Casa Bacardi" "Limited Edition Rum" "8 Years Old". It has a hand written date of "10/25/97" and hand written number "4,095 of 10,000". It is in a 750ml square decanter style container and says it is a product of the Bahamas. He paid about $50.00 for it. Can anyone tell me anything about this rum and if Bacardi still offers limited edition rums for sale. I had some today and it is very good rum. Thanks, Dan

Thanks for the replys. I will be searching for the rums you both mentioned as none of the stores in my area (Minnesota) have any of them. I'll see if they are willing to special order any of them first before I start searching around. I did however come across Mount Gay Extra Old locally and will be purchasing that tomorrow. Ed, The information on your website is extremely helpfull. Thanks, Dan

For years a Bacardi and Coke has been my favorite drink. I would always buy the Silver and never tried anything else. I thought I had a good thing going. A few months ago I had a Captain Morgan and Coke which I thought was good also. About three weeks ago at the liguor store I was trying to decide between the Bacardi or Captain Morgan and happened to spy the Bacardi Gold and ended up leaving with that. I enjoyed the smoothness of it very much. That purchase set off a chain reaction. I since have tried the Bacardi Select, Bacardi 8, and yesterday I found a local store that had Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum. Every rum I've tried has been better than the previous one which leads to my question. What rums would be recommended next? And where can I find them? I am not trying to find a rum to replace the others as I can see myself keeping quite a variety around from here on out. It's been a fun adventure. Thanks, Dan
