Stroh 80 is NOT good if you're looking at it as rum. It's made in Austria, and the 80 is the top-proof version at 160. It smells like a Butter Rum Life Saver. It tastes like fire. But I use it in Spanish Coffee and it works very well. I use the Stroh like most use 151, to caramelize the sugar rim on the glass, toast some cinnamon (shake right into the flame), and top with liqueurs, coffee and whipped cream. NOT a tiki drink, but good stuff.

I've tried some sort of Captain Morgan "reserve" rum, and it was fairly tasty. Not great, but not bad.
