Rum?

Ooh I like Wray and Nephew but also occasionally the odd glass of Stroh Inlander. That's 80% ABV not proof.

Ooh some nice recipes to try before years end.

The only spirit worth drinking IMHO. Really enjoy a glass of Woods rum or spiced Bacardi, just as it comes.
Actually, the sun is well over the yardarm...........

A group I used to drink with would have a tot 'o rum with something from one of those sticky bottles on the top shelf at the end of the evening but I can't remember which: Lovage, maybe?

Rum and pep's da $hit. Woods of course.

Appleton Estate, Jamaican rum. Simply the best! OK, I may be slightly biased having lived in Jamaica during my youth, but if you like rum, this is the one IMHO.

The Wray and Nephew overproof stuff as recommended by Vernon is something like 151 proof IIRC, about double the strength of normal spirits. Use with caution!

Four Bells. The stuff of distant memories...........................

I've been known to pour Bacardi into a lemsip if that counts?

I like the 18 year-old Eldorado, a delight I discovered last year.

Over Christmas I have been sampling a bottle of Mauritian rum I brought back from an assignment a couple of weeks ago. Not bad!

Dark rum with peppermint is great if you've got a cold/sore throat. Especially if drunk in sufficient quantity to induce a coma.

Wray and Nephew overproof is my rum of choice

Sorry to bump an old thread, but Vernon's influence continues to be great. I recently got into rum and Wray is the daddy. I like it but I'm slightly scared of it! I raise my glass to your memory sir.

My dad swears by that mix as in indigestion remedy.

During my home town Common Riding, Skipper Rum (the best) is traditionally drunk in the early hours of the morning mixed with milk.

Now that's given me a notion. Hmmm.

In the morning? That must play havoc with the school run!

Woods 100 proof navy rum for me.
