Anyway...

I am planing a tasting party around the Grog Log and need some guidance. I live in PA where we have state controlled spirits. So our rum selection is very limited. My current rum stock is not good. I have Bacardi white, Bacardi 151, Myers Dark, and Ron Zapaca anos 23.

Sooooo... I figure I need a decent version of each of these varieties:
Jamaican, Martinique, Barbados, Demerara.

Besides the line of Bacardi the state store only has these rums: Cruzan Estate Diamond, Mount Gay Eclipse (Barbados?) Mount Gay Silver, Pyrat XO, Rhum Clement Premier white, Stroh 160 proof. They also have the Ron Zap and Zaya, but I am not mixing those.

So do any of those listed qualify? Probably not. I might try to drive to Ohio for some other choices. But I do not know what I can find over there.

Since there doesn't seem to be a master table at Tiki Central matching brands of rums from their origination countries I could use some help in filling in the blanks. (Maybe a moderator should start one!)

Thanks all for your help!
