Why is it technically Rum?

I thought Rum was distilled from either sugarcane or molasses, and I thought Mekong was made from Rice?

Not that any of this really matters, but here's the opinion of the Beverage Testing Institute for gin and rum.

wow.....what a great website....

Well I can personally vouch for

____ and ____

though at about US$30 a 750 bottle, my drinking habit could not afford them on a regular basis. As I was before going through about a bottle a week, I economized to the still respectfully rated

And now in Thailand, compared to the above, I actually find this still fairly drinkable:

(Oh, and all the bottles are clickable. )

I´ve since tasted and adored a wonderufl array of rums.

I still stick with Botran Añejo and Zacapa as my top rums.

dark rum = four barrels.

light rum = mount gay.

gin = anything it all tastes the same.

British Navy Pusser's Rum is the same Admiralty blend of five West Indian rums as issued on board British warships, and it is with the Admiralty's blessing and approval that Pusser's is now available to the consumer.

The Royal Navy Sailor's Fund, a naval charity more commonly called the "Tot Fund" receives a substantial donation from the sale of each bottle of British Navy Pusser's Rum. Aside from the fund's original bequest, the Pusser's contribution has become the fund's largest source of income.

Today's Pusser's Rum, known as "the single malt of rum" is still produced in exact accordance with the Admiralty's specifications for rum. Unlike most rums, Pusser's uses no flavoring agents. It is 100% natural. In 2001, Pusser's was awarded the "Gold Medal - World's Premier Dark Rum" at the International Wine & Spirits Festival. In 2003, Pusser's Rum won a "Double Gold Medal" at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a Gold Medal at the same festival in 2005.

Last time I bought a bottle in the UK it cost me about £28. In the Caribbean five years ago we were buying them for $7.95 buy six get one free!! Anyone know if you can get Pussers in Thailand?

Well, seems like the stuff is that good taht even your spellchecker cannot cope with your typos anymore...

I love my whisky! Whisky is my fav drink! It's strong, cheap and readily available!

whisky too is my favorite drink, but in 5 years in LOS and now two in Guatemala, A good whisky is hard to find.

Only cos I´m a booze snob though. I grew up drinking all my brother´s Talisker, and you never drink anything else after that.

my lad drinks whiskey as well
