I have two arms and most of the fingers. I wear shoes when I leave the house most of the time. I will use chop sticks only if I have to. I like silverware instead.

Tabasco is good but has too much vinegar flavor. Franks Red Hot is better. But it's not quite spicy enough. I make do with it. Hard to beat Franks Red Hot on fried chicken. Good luck eating that without getting spicy slop all over your face. I just deal with it. You can to.

Kirk and Sweeney

Among the best value in sipping rums A surprisingly rich and velvet rum that balances age with youth. Priced incredibly cheap at $27 a bottle from Costco, I was amazed at the depth of fla

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

My default white rum for any purpose The first overproof rum I tried, and the one I always keep on the shelf. It's aroma and flavor are unmistakable, perhaps a bit "headsy" but pungent an

Pusser's British Navy

Not a great sipper, but a wonderful complexity Some of the other comments mentioned the incredible history with this rum, and I agree that the story along makes for compelling marketing. I'd lon

Mezan XO Jamaica

Excellent presentation and consistency No gimmicks, no color, no sugar. Just a pure to form Jamaican rum with a bit of age. It has an interesting leathery quality to it, and I agree with th

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Beautifully crafted blend that packs a wallop of alcohol and flavor One of the finest oaked overproof blends, and an incredible value. I picked this up for $26 / liter. It has an incredible high ester note, rich notes

Plantation Barbados

Excellent for the money, but heavy on the dosage. Without question, in terms of value, this ranks near the top. I found this for $20 / 750 online, but it can be found at WalMart of all places for arou

Kirk and Sweeney

Very nice rum that fails to deliver on value. Long a fan of the Kirk and Sweeny 12, I had high expectations for the 23 year. While priced substantially higher ($44 for the 23 vs $27 for the 12 yea

Rum-Bar Gold

Generically rummy, smoother than the Rum Bar Overproof, but that's not saying much. I've tried the Overproof from Worthy Park and now the Gold. Neither are very refined or noteworthy. The Gold has the same undercurrent of flavor as th

J. Wray Silver

Unremarkable, but clearly looking to capitalized on the good name of the W&N Overproo There is nothing remarkable here. Not that there pretends to be, but this is a somewhat bland, oily, and rather pedestrian rum priced to compete with

Rum-Bar White Overproof

An unfortunate set of flaws mar a rum with potential. Sold for an attractive price at Jamaican stores on the island, you can find this for about $30 in the US, but it was $10 in Jamaica. At $10, it is a s

Havana Club White

Misbranded industrial alcohol? When a rum is barely distinguishable from industrial solvent cleaner, and tastes like a poorly crafted vodka, does it even deserve to be called a rum?
