This brings back memories. Growing up our neighbors were a Venezuelan and Cuban couple. The husband would go back to Venezuela every year and bring that rum back as gifts for my parents. My brother and I used the leather sacks as marble bags.
My favorite rum is usually the one in my glass.
Some particularly enjoyable ones have been:
* Ron Matusalem Gran Reserva
* Mount Gay XO
* Havana Club Aņejo 7 aņos
By far the worst rum I have ever had was a brand called Sea Wynde. Man that stuff is awful! I couldn't figure out a way to make it enjoyable. I ended up making rum and cokes with almost of the drink being coke and I would still wince with each sip. The only saving grace was I didn't buy it. I googled to see if I had a bad bottle, but it appears I wasn't the only one who thought this.

If you see this rum, do NOT drink it.
