OK, that's a pack of lies. :)

Those are fresh passion fruit, $5 a pound, from a local farmer's market. Last night they were transformed into about 2 cups of delicious passion fruit syrup. While it may not be quite as good as Aunty Lilikoi it's getting there...

My rum purchases, picked up a bottle of Coruba Coconut and Coruba Spiced because they are on close-out a Hi Time - $4.99 each. I doubt I'll use them much but I do see the occasional cocktail calling for spiced or coconut rum.

I loved the El Dorado 12 but the big surprise to me was the El Dorado 8 which I really enjoyed even as a sipper.

My disappointment so far was the Cruzan white. I thought it could become my standard mixing white but after making some Rum Kegs with it last night I'm not sure. I had been using El Dorado 3 year white before and the flavor difference switching to the Cruzan was noticeably bad, for me, though my wife didn't seem to care. At half the price, I guess you get what you pay for.
