I make 'Hemingway' daiquiris with that stuff. Two parts rum, one part fresh squeezed lime juice, 1/2 part simple syrup. Shaken with ice, served up.

I'll look for your Bumbu, wouldn't mind something a little smoother.

if you want a reasonably priced, smooth sipping rum then try the el dorado 15-yr.

I've been meaning to pick up some Appleton. Always had a bottle in the house growing up cause of family roots.

Maybe they'll finally get their first win of the 2020 season. It's mid-July, for Pete's sake. Red Sox haven't lost a game yet this year.

(Tonight's probably the last night I'll get to make that claim.)

I've finished a bottle of Double Black already and two bottles of Monkey Shoulder. I may have to add a little more distilled water to the single malts I have. Same goes for some of the bottles of Bourbon that I've recently bought. I I like Dewar's White a lot also.

I do have a bottle of Walker & Sons XR21 that I may open this weekend. I got a great deal on two bottles while on a cruise a few years ago.

Can't go wrong with Bell's. My son and I agreed that in the event of the zombie apocalypse we would meet at Bell's to wait out the end of civilization.

Elysian Space Dust IPA

And "sipping" might be a bit of an understatement.
