All you need to know about rum

As an experienced blue water sailor in the Gulf of Mexico, one of the things I found necessary to learn about was rum. Here are my findings after years of exhaustive research.

1.Best rums are dark.

2. Rum goes good with lemonade, fruit juice, or Coca Cola among other things.

3. Best rums are made in Barbados or Jamaica.

4. British Navy Pusser's Rum is pretty dang good. It was a crucial element in building an Empire. The British Admiralty first served rum daily to its Royal Navy sailors for over 300 years until the ration was abolished in 1970.

There are only three brands of rum I drink, they are:

1. Cockspur Rum from Barbados produced by Hanschell Inniss Ltd. since 1884.

2. Pusser's Rum British Navy Rum made from the same blend of five West Indian rums as the British Admiralty issued to sailors.

3. Myer's Original Dark Rum produced in Jamaica since 1879.

This is why sailors drink rum.

All of these rums have at various times and occasions,

served me well. I'm a simple guy, three options

are enough for anybody (my opinion).

Thanks for checking me out!
