    So I was given a bottle of this stuff as a gift. A friend of my wife knew that I was a rum drinker, but knows nothing about rum. Obviously.

    But, feeling it my duty to always try something I have never had before, I cracked it open and had a taste.

    :wacko:

    What the hell IS that stuff?

    Later on I looked it up and seems to be the general concensus is that is is CM's answer to Jagermeister.

    If that's their answer, I must ask: "What the hell was the question?!"

    Syrupy with some very odd flavor... blackberry, maybe? Not anise like Jager, but that same kind of cough medicine taste...

    Well, I was looking more for "favorite places you may have shopped...." but i never got a chance to check back anyway...

    So I tried Don Lorenzo while I was there, as well as learned that Bacardi has a distillery there! I had no idea.

    My 4 liters i brought home (at a considerable amount less than it would have cost me here) were Barcardi 8 Años, Cruzan Black Strap, Barbancourt 3 Star, and Appleton VX...

    Vacation Time!

    So, the family and I are travelling to Nassau tomorrow for vacation. It will be our first trip to the Bahamas. I was shocked when I did some checking around that there are no Bahamian rums! Is this true?!

    Anyway, there may not be any locally made, but I am sure there have to be some Rum Bars or places that have better/more interesting selections than others.

    For those that have been, anything to recommend?

    So the family and I are taking a vacation to Nassau at the end of April. I am assuming the rum selection will be good there, and mostly duty-free.

    For those that have been, any recommendations on what to do and where to go? Places to eat? Things not-to-be-missed? Keep in mind, I will have the wife and two small boys with me...

    rum shops in Barbados

    In Barbados there is a law that distillers can't distill and bottle their rum at the same location. What you will see at the Moiunt Gay visitor's center is a short film, then a tour of the aging warehouse and the bottling operation. Then back to the bar for a shot of the good stuff.

    whatever it is... it's worth it, IMO, and the good stuff is good indeed! :biggrin:

    Seems like I'm the only one that finds Sailor Jerry'difficult' to drink! hmm..

    picked up a bottle this weekend... whoa... it is certainly potent... but at 92 Proof, i guess i should have expected that...

    after i got over that initial :shock:

    i settled in and enjoyed it....
