Stayed up my daughters the weekend took some XM VXO with me to drink in hers.
Went up the local pubs by her for a meal thought I'd have a rum and coke so the barmaid pours a half a pint of coke with a shot of rum in it WTF. I ask her what is it, rum and coke she reply's, WTF (not those words) says I you've killed it so I ask her to pour a proper one, she looks at me dull and ask well how much coke do you want in it. About the same amount as rum says I. What's the world coming to when a barmaid doesn't know how to make a rum and coke.
A Captain Morgan god damn awful stuff (If you want to give rum a bad name just serve Captain Morgan). Went around the corner to the loft bar and had a Bacardi 8 even though I'm on a boycott when the need arises you know the rest. Got to say what a nice rum that Bacardi 8 is, will taking two bottles on holiday with me (only tidy rum on offer in duty free). Since I'm limited by what duty free has on offer thought I'd get re-acquainted with a Bacardi 8 and I have to take my hat off to the boy's at Bacardi for this one, it's been a year since drinking any of the 8 and after coming back to it and being a bit more experienced with sipping rum it makes you appreciate what a fine rum this is.
We may knock Bacardi for a lot of things but credit where it's due this is a good rum indeed. Just thought I'd share this with you guy's.
