hey guys, i notice that 'amber virgin island rum' and 'gold virgin island rum' are seperate options... are they the same? i also have that problem w/ 'appleton special gold' and 'jamaican gold rum'... arent they both the same? i guess i should just select both but i just wanted to check.

I feel your pain!

I volunteered to work with The Bum to normalize his ingredients. Putting all these in I had to decide on a lot of things. Simple ones like "Simple Syrup" and "Sugar Syrup" to a lot more difficult choices.

I generally check all the rums and make decisions about what I have that fits the bill when I look up the recipe. If I have the sepcific rum called for I use it. If it calls for Barbencourt 5 Star and I have 3, I'll use that. Such is life behind the bar and inside the Grogalizer.

In my bar, Appleton Special is the Jamaican Gold, and every other Gold rum called for, but your results may vary.
