Often we instinctively go for "old reliable" when maybe there is something better out there, or if not better then certainly something interesting and worth the shot. For instance: I'm finally nearly out of my Bacardi 151 and wish to never return there again. I of course have Lemon Hart 151 in stock but I need another amber overproof and am deciding between: Cruzan 151 vs El Dorado 151 I don't have any taste experience with either. I trust Cruzan as they have solid white and gold aged rums, but El Dorado is likewise pretty respectable. Thoughts?
