Name My Rum Contest? We Have A Winner!!! - General Tiki

While a drake is a male duck, the surname Drake comes from Draco, Latin for dragon. Besides being a mathematician, astronomer, and general physicist, Isaac Newton was an alchemist. It is not that much of a stretch to consider a fine rum to be the product of alchemy. One of Newton's last works was the publication of an incomplete theory of chemical force, which sounds a little like rum to me. Among the tasks of the alchemist was the mystical manufacture of many things including wisdom and precious metals. My two entries then, therefore, are: Dragon's Wisdom Private Reserve, and Dragon's Gold Private Reserve Catch you on Monday 10/12. I'll be at parents' weekend and Penn State until then. Hope you find the perfect name.
