For the third time today I tasted an interesting rum that a close friend gave me three bottles of for my birthday. It is 80 proof, and is from Newfoundland, although it is produced in Jamaica. It is made for the Newfoundland market, and cannot be found in this country, although probably all over Canada.

Having tried it in the Riedel rum glass on two previous occasions and deciding something was missing, I used one of my earthenware railroad design coffee mugs, and sure enough, the rum took to the earthenware environment and wide mug in a wonderful way. This is a remarkably fruity and candy-like rum, and most definitely NOT for making egg nog or summertime froo froo drinks. This is a wonderful, crisp, light bodied but flavorful rum that is for sipping only.
 
Whell For turkey day, I had some Italian stuff that came in a 3 foot tall bottle and looked like pee.. :) wasnt bad... sorta had a almond flavor.. very high proof.

other was Swiss, was a combo of dark chocolate and cherry... MMMM great stuff would go good with coffee.. 60 proof.
