Matusalem Etiqueta Negra

[bigbear]

With me, rum is a lot like sex..... the worst I ever had was fabulous.

Recently, when I was in an Ecuadorian super market, I saw Ron Matusalem Etiqueta Negra at $9.28 for 750 ml. I only bought one bottle and haven't sampled it yet. Should I have bought more? Is this stuff better than fabulous?

I try to sample things before I leave the country, or city, where I find a new rum. But in this case you probably won't be planning another trip just for another bottle of that rum, but let me know if I'm wrong. If you've never had a bad experience with a bottle of rum yet, you will eventually. For me I think of a new brand of rum like a new lover. Indulge yourself and in the morning you know whether this is something to pursue or put back on the shelf.
