I saw some Prichard's today and was kind of reluctant to buy it after reading this. I don't know why since I usually never listen to the advice of others anyway. :lol: Why is it that knowledgable booze sellers will often describe a high end rum as tasting "like a nice scotch?" I've heard that more than once. When they say that I always think: "I'm not looking at scotch am I? Why would I be looking at the rum when I really wanted scotch? Is there some advantage to buying rum that tastes like scotch over actual scotch itself?" But I don't say anything. I know they're just trying to be helpful.
