excellent point

Indeed.

Yes.

Also, if you can find it, "Ron del Barillito" 3 star from Puerto Rico (on the neck, it will have either 2 or 3 stars - choose 3!) This rum is phenomenal.

Flor de Caña. It's Nicaraguan. Aged 4, 7, 12, or 18 years Better than anything at its price point. The 7 year was my favorite deal-wise. Really good economical rums.
