I was casting around for a name that would reflect something of my circumstances and picked that one. Bingo - that's exactly what I read about, but didn't read anything about the rum. I had previously not heard about spirits being shipped to England for finishing, so I learned something very interesting. At past Hukilau events we have had speakers who told us quite a bit about the historic rum docks in London. So very cool!
