It's one more day on the grey funnel line

Made in a ramshackle distillery in a bay on the backside of Pirate hangout Tortola Island. You have to hike thru the cemetery to get there, which makes the rum taste even better. However, if I had to choose one of the two I'd choose Mount Gay. It's made in Jamaica instead of a big distellery in San Juan. Capt Morgan is ok. But you can drink the other two straight-up. Note: me rum drinkin days are pretty much over now....i'm usually carrying a good merlot in me flask now.
