Re: If Dept: If you could own just five rums?

A quick note
I've been going like crazy for the last few weeks and haven't been able to spend any time on the board (It seems like I have a lot of reading to do.) This weekend I was in Michigan for a workshop. I was looking for a bottle of Smith and Cross which I was unable to find. I did find some Flor de Cana ...

Great work Capn. I am disappointed that one of my favorite rums is altered. I am also now convinced that another of my favorite rums has also been altered. Westerhall Plantation Rum has some scents and tastes that are a little over the top. The only reason that I had thought it wasn't altered is tha...

I haven't had much of the agricole/can juice rums, but one of my favorites is Westerhall Plantation . Which I think of being sweet without (I hope) additives. I like it better than the Barbancourt 5-star 8 year (I haven't tried the 15). You might want to check Rum Reviews Rankings and Cheat Sheet fo...
