Hi all, I can appreciate the search for rums -- always a battle with distributors, liquor stores, etc. In Minnesota, I struggle to find 151 Lemon Hart Demerara, and always buy as many as I can when I do see it on the shelves. But I have to say, I'm surprised by the responses to Vic's rum. Maybe its just me, but I think most of Vic's rum is terrible -- or at least was when I bought a few bottles a couple of years ago. Most of mine tastes like a gym shoe too! I still have a couple of bottles I still need to "hide" in a party punch or something to use up. Has there been a big improvement in Vic's rums in the last year? I'd be interested in what people think. Aloha
