I used Bacardi light. I think I need a rum that is a teeny bit more complex.

Don Q Silver is also good. Haven't had any problem with Cruzan, but it sounds like I need to do some taste testing.

I agree with Hakalugi and I have also parted company with most Bacardi products even though I live 20 minutes away from the bottling plant and have met a handful of very nice people who work there. It's one of our local products here in Jacksonville, Florida. For what it's worth, please know that they are a very good corporate citizen and very family-oriented. Also, 98% of the US Bacardi products are bottled here. Also, the Bacardi plant is located less than one mile from the InBev/Anheuser-Busch brewery where the majority of production (95% or more) is for the Florida market.

I suspect that the production of beer and the bottling of rum would make us one of the bigger booze-producing cities in the nation. Just a guess... So there's a research project for you if you're so inclined. I'm not gonna research that, instead I'll have a cocktail.
