I'm surprised that there's not a dedicated thread about it, either here on TC, or on Forbidden Island's website. Basically, Forbidden Island has an extensive list of 90+ rums from around the world, which gives you the chance to sample how the rums vary from region to region, and country to country. To quote Molokai Mike: For those that do not know, the FI Kill-Devil Club is free to join (but sadly not to drink) and allows you to taste over 90 rums from around the world from our vast collection. Complete the tasting list and you are awarded a brass plaque on our rum shelf, as well as a bottle of your favorite rum.

Completing the list gets you immortalized with a brass plaque on the wall behind the bar, a bottle of your favorite rum, and an induction ceremony into the Kill Devil Club, which provides you with certain perks and benefits, such as line privileges and early entry to FI events. JenTiki finished the list twice, and they awarded her with her own parking space on Tiki Central Wednesday nights, complete with official "This Space Reserved For JenTiki" parking sign! Otto is close to finishing his second Kill Devil list as well, with about 5 rums left to go, and should be finished by this Thursday's anniversary party. I've got about 20 rums left to go on mine.

Here are a few links that I could scrounge up on TC:

Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion of Martinique rums!
