Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

Yup, this is the real stuff. These rums are - in the marketing departments' eyes anyway - akin to the rums of yore. Way yore. Rogaine for rogues, the kind that will grow hair on your chest. Which for some of my readers might be an issue...

Accordingly it pays to be in rogue-mode when you drink these - and drink, nay even sip these you can! They are not just for mixing, although for that they do their job quite admirably. Frankly, and as we learned, the dark rums have their special character. Some can even serve as dandy, special purpose sippers. And knowing what they taste like will help you appreciate their effect on a drink...

Arrrghhh!!

BTW, don't be too taken by the psychologically "dark" color which is actually achieved by the addition of relatively tasteless amounts of caramel. But they do have one thing in common: molasses! Trust me...
