i was at one point in time a huge beer connoisseur. i had a particular fondness for microbrews. among my all-time faves are pete's strawberry blonde, dox equis, and a local product here in arkansas called H20 melon produced by the now defunct weidman's brewery(among many, many more too numerous to mention).
i have since fallen in love with sailor jerry's spiced rum and it's 100% taken over as my drink of choice.
with a really smooth blend of vanilla and subtle cherry with other flavorful, buttery spices, it can be sipped straight, mixed with a cola(which is what i normally do) or used in a myriad of other ways. it's a classic spiced rum, whose manufacturing process is based on the customized way that sailors/pirates created their rums on long ocean voyages back in the "old" days. it does pack a little more of a punch at 92 proof, but conversely it doesn't pack a punch in the wallet as it is very affordable and a wonderful value for your dollar.
seems like i heard it was mentioned in a jimmy buffet book, as well. outside of that, i would have never heard of it if it wasn't for a "mission" i went on last summer inwhich i set out to find the best spiced rum available through most common liquor stores. check it out, you won't be disappointed.
