Nathan Hevenstone

I'm getting into rum. Suggestions are always welcome! Oh, and a warning: I'm a Social Justice Warrior and proud of it. Also... from now on, for premium rums, if they've been tested and found to potentially have a lot of added sugar, my max rating for them will be 7. I do still enjoy such rums (like Zacapa's Solera 23), but I can't give them a higher rating in good faith, especially as they often aren't operating in good faith.

I'm Actually Sad About This One... Ratings are relatively high for it, and descriptions are well within my palate, so I expected to like it a lot better than I did. Foursquare has a rep
