Pimento drams - this brings up a question that I wrestle with frequently. If I'm going to make a classic cocktail, I want to achieve closeness to the original as much as reasonably possible if the original ingredients are available. So, the big question:

With so many different pimento drams out now, how do others here decide which to buy and use in a classic recipe?

I don't mind innovating, especially when a drink recipe sucks to me personally. In that case I may tweak it, or I may move on. Choice of pimento drams seems to be in that vein of "to each his own, it's really no big deal." Same with the many different choices we have for falernum.

So I thought I would toss this question out to the folks here in this new thread for pimento dram. (There are a couple other threads about pimento dram already here on TC.)
