So basically Adam, when you drink that stuff you could be doing something HEALTHY--preserving your own tissue instead of some on a slide, correct? :)

Yeah... we all wish it worked that way...

* WARNING* AVOID OPEN FLAME WHEN YOU DRINK...

I have found a rum to disprove all theories that high proof spirits are only meant for starting your camp fire and other assorted, or sordid, college pyrotechnic tricks.  Cadenhead's has recently completed a bottling of 36 year old single cask, cask strength rum from Demerara.  For all of you rum advocates out there it is a MUST HAVE.  Granted, at cask strength of 70% it has a bit of a kick.  Still, 36 years in the cask have given this rum unbelievable complexity, depth, and warmth.  I have to stop now or I may not be able to convince myself to put down this bottle... hic.   Cheers.

The highest proof alcohol that I actually enjoy is Stroh Rum.  It packs a whopping 160 proof and yet still manages to offer a smooth (and slightly butterscotchy) rum flavor.

Sip it neat!
