Rum

[Lionheart]

Hard to beat a good Bermuda dark spiced rum. Try it with a ginger beer...”Dark and Stormy”. Good summer drink.

Captain Morgan 100 proof and ginger ale... with a chunk of squeezed lime, if you like...

Someone already mentioned it in this thread but try Ron Zacapa 23 from Guatemala. It's from first pressing of sugarcane, well aged, complex, and it won't break the bank. It usually runs right around $50. Zacapa also bottles XO, usually $80-90. It's blended with different rums from 6-25 years and also gets extra aging in french cognac casks. Great stuff.

I used to know a good ole boy that was known to brew up a batch from brown sugar and molasses, then age it in bourbon barrel white oak chips for a year. That was also a complex, great sipper, but I have no idea of he is even alive any more sadly. That was normally cask strength though, running ~170 proof, so a little went a long way.

Have always been a whiskey sipper. Skew towards single-malts, but lately have been sippin quite a few bourbons. Always sip them neat. Buddy of mine recently brought over a dark rum called Kirk & Sweeney, 23-yr Dominican. If you don't have a fine rum in your rotation, you need to...

There's a Rum made right here in Georgia called Richland Rum. It's pretty good.Made in the little town of Richland,Ga.

Yes, it is a very tasty one for sure. Little pricey but good. Runs about $47 a bottle.

Appleton is a big supporter of shooting sports BTW.

Used to come to a lot of big sporting clay shoots, especially in FL, and have a "tasting" booth. Lots of scores went down the next day. They would bring in the really good stuff - didn't even taste like cheap rum
