About 90% is worthwhile in that at least one go to drink needs that particular rum or the drink won't sing. that drops to about 70% worthwhile if I define that as rums used regularly in maybe 3 or more different cocktails...
Whether greater mixing versatility = more worthwhile rum I am not sure.
Yep, that was my idea - most of my bar I can switch around apart from for a few drinks, my thoughts were do I need:
- Appleton Special & VX? Bacardi Gold & Bacardi 8? Havana Club Blanco & Havana Club 3? (After a bit of internal debate) Nope, Id opt for the older in each case.
- El Dorado 5 & Woods 100? Yes.
- The 25% of my collection that I haven't used in 6 months - probably not!

My Must-Have-Replacements: Smith Cross. Flor de Caña. Appleton VX
I like all but 3 of my rums but I think thats the idea - what percentage of you collection is must-have-replacements?

No backstock counting, I'd be at 40%...
Down and dirty, I need:
Myers's Dark
Some white rum
Some gold rum
LH 151
If I expand it just a little...
If I making a Mai Tai, I need...
Good point Swanky - I'm always expanding. You've gotta make what you like & to sometimes to make another drink you need another rum!
From my 30% 'worthwhile' I could probably make all the drinks I like to this point, that may change in the future.
