There are a few on the list -- the cheap Bacardi, the Sergeant Classick come to mind -- that I wouldn't drink except under extraordinary circumstances. But I hate pouring our booze. I always figure I can serve them in a punch of something.

Echoing the sentiments of others here — Awesome rum collection! At my peak I had about half of that and I think even that had me wife considering a divorce!

Although I haven't yet tried the Sergeant Classick light, the Classick Gold makes en excellent and what I believe to be an historically accurate pirate's Bumbo (rum, a splash of water, grated nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.). Most of the Caribbean rum during the golden age of piracy would have been pot stilled but probably not aged for very long. It is actually pretty hard to find an unaged potstill rum, but that is exactly what Sergeant Classic is. Sadly, I am seeing it around these parts less and less, and when I find it it is often on closeout, so I am not sure how the brand is doing overall.

I seldom bother with more than a handful of white rums, but I am curious about the Classick light. djmont, is there any potstill ester funkiness that you can discern when you taste that one neat?
