I'm a recent convert to home making pimento dram :)

First I got Bitter Truths & didn't enjoy it. I didn't want to just go & buy Saint Elizabeth so I home-made a small batch using this recipe:

It was a definite step up!

1st time I used Cruzan White, I don't rate it as a rum but it was good in the dram. 2nd batch I'm using Captain Morgan as the rum, I dont rate that either but I think it'll make a good base for the dram. I have a little of batch 1 for comparison. After 10 days you cant see through it, it looks evilly dark :)

Roll on it being ready on Monday! :)
