They are great for mixing but a bit harsh for sipping. Wood's is English, OVD is Scottish and stands for Old Vatted Demerara. Well obviously they're Guyanan, but they are aged in the UK. Recipe: Shrunken Heid (based on Shrunken Skull) 1oz lime juice 1oz home-made grenadine 1oz Havana Club Anejo (or another dry gold rum) 1oz OVD (Wood's 100 is good too) Shake with crushed ice Enjoy.
