Now that Rum is shaping up to be an up and coming spirit, there's gonna be an avalanche of new designer rums. I have yet to find ONE that matches the old classics. Sailor Jerry, Redrum (Notrum), Trader Vic's, Tommy Bahama, you name it, they're all wrong.

RedRum clashes with a lot of mixers but is very good with cranberry juice. Tommy Bahama isn't that good.

Blind Squirrel Rum is now available at the famous Bali Hai restaurant in San Diego. This is a proud moment for all of us at Blind Squirrel Rum. San Diego's Bali Hai is home to arguably one of the finest Mai Tai's in the world and we dare say the "Mai Tai Squirrel Version" makes for an outstanding variation on their traditional recipe. We know this is a bold statement, but next time you are there do a taste test and tell us - and the bartenders - what you think! And if you see a Catalina 27 on the dock, try and find us... you might get a free hat!

They figure even a rum named Blind Squirrel (B.S.?) will sometimes find a nut, who will buy it. [ Edited by: Limbo Lizard 2008-04-04 13:55 ]
