I saw these posts on another thread:

The purpose of this thread isn't to brag about the size of your liquor collection or to say that you couldn't live without 8 different rums to use in 5 different mai tai combos...

My question is: If you were to start your mixing rum collection again from nothing, what do you consider most worthwhile & what % of your current collection is it?

I say mixing collection because involving sippers would complicate matters!

E.G.
My lucky hypothetical friend has 10 bottles of rum.

She has Appleton VX, Appleton Special, Mount Gay, Cockspur, El Dorado 5, J Bally Amber, Bacardi Gold, Havana Club Blanco, Brugal Blanco & Cruzan Jelly Bean flavour.

If she had to start over she says she would have: either gold Jamaican, either Bajan, the El Dorado 5, the J Bally, the Bacardi Gold, either the Havana Club or the Brugal. She never wants to try Cruzan Jelly Bean again!

A bit of maths later she works out 60% of her collection is 'worthwhile'

Hopefully using percentages will prevent bragging!
