Well, I returned to Conch Republic on whatever that last holiday was... Monday.

I tried - for FREE - another 6 of those "top shelvers" there. I love accommodation.

Cohiba White blows. Sour and nasty like moonshine. I mean if you're going to get buzzed at least it should taste good, no?

Old Havana was pretty good - very sweet and if you like that sort of thing it's a pretty good deal. Mixes well.

The Ron Zacapa Centenario won the day again.

I tried some Venezuelan Rum that I forgot the name of - comes in a green, shorter bottle with a picture of some distinguished-looking gentleman on it.
It was OK, but not spectacular or (obviously) memorable.

I'm taking the guy a bottle of Cruzan Single Barrel and a bottle of orgeat and teaching his girls how to make a Mai Tai.

I envy you Californians. Even our "big time" liquor stores here have a 12 bottle selection before you move into the Budweiser displays. When I get back out to Oakland like I do at least once a year - I'm going to punish you all... well, not you... but definitely your rum collections.
