Hey John, you seem to be a big fan of rum, so I'm curious which one(s) you'd recommend for a drink like this. (Currently trying to decide what to purchase for recipes calling for "Caribbean blended rum aged 6-10 years"...) Thanks!

I tend to stay away from Puerto Rico and Virgin Island rums. They are light with marginal flavour (same with Cuban rum). If you get into rums you can try the more wild such as Jamaican or Martinique. Many rums are sweetened with additional sugar. I stay away from these. While they drink easily they are like drinking a soft drink sugar wise. Enjoy. Rum has some wonderful nuances. Find the one you like.

I like Hamilton Florida Rum Society, Doorly's XO, and Mount Gay or Stades from Barbados
