The dilemma, though, as Swanky shared, is why serve a nice Demerara to regular Joes when Myers's will do just as well in that particular situation? Some of the finer stuff we have come to appreciate (and pay much more for) really does require your palate to have achieved some degree of development. I agree with thePorpoise - I also take any new rum and sip it neat the first time. Gotta give those angels an opportunity to sing!
