I know it was previously announced outside of TC, but our waitress at lunch today talked about doing Bacardi promotions and their new Oakheart spiced rum. Supposedly just hitting the market now. Curious if anybody had tasted it and what you think.

Skip the Oakheart and go straight for the Bacardi 8 year. I recommend it and use it in many cocktails. Bacardi does generally make swill, but the 8 year is tasty with oak and nice spices, and makes great cocktails. I consider myself to be quite the snob, but my taste buds don't lie. I like it. I drink it. Others who've tried it neat and in cocktails over here love it. Thumbs up.

The other Tiki rumology "no-no's" I support 100% are Kilo Kai and Kraken spiced rums. Great stuff. IMO people who turn a blind nose to spiced rums and specific brands are missing out.... It's still rum and you might be very surprised from time to time!
