just me or does rum just taste gross now

If one gets carried away and does a lot of it, you may not want to see another bottle for the rest of the year or more. Nice for a change, though.
We will probably try toop's recommendation on the Cruzan's Black Cherry, as we always have Pepsi on hand, and have never tried Cruzan's.

exactly, not your daily driver so to speak, more like a here and there occasion
one bottle should last a year

you see shows and movies where rich people have a crystal glass decanter and just pour themselves a drink of whiskey like daily after work to unwind but I doubt most people do that in real life, least not the good stuff at 100+ a bottle

True, and the most expensive bottle we keep around on a regular basis is Makers Mark, and that last most of a year, also.

it once had a decent flavor but bought some bacardi black and ugh, it's so nasty now

I don't remember it tasting like this, guess my tastes have changed or they changed the formula?

how sailors would drink this like water baffles me

Mix it with coke, or in a "Tom 'n Jerry"

certainly but even before straight it has flavor, just does not anymore
maybe it's just me

Well, I almost killed myself on Tequila when I was a teen, so now, the only tequila I can drink is Patron Silver.

I like scotch, but it's an acquired taste. Most people can't get past the peat taste. Yet, it is a downright crime to mix a scotch, well a good one at least, with any mix. I think you do that, and they have some kind of Scottish pact that they will hunt you down and make you serve Margaret Thatcher, or something.

I hear that, there was a particular weekend in Mexico where a half bottle of Jose Cuervo about did me in. I only remember bits and pieces of that weekend.

Rum is a little too harsh for me. If I'm going sip straight booze, make it Brandy (water by).

Maybe rum was better at killing intestinal parasites. Arrrrrr, them pirates were a scurvy bunch.

Rum has to be mixed!
