I love a 'ti punch as the first drink of the day. After dinner I usually switch to an aged rum that I drink with a little water or sometimes a cube of ice, if I have one. I find that most rums benefit by the addition of a little water. If I add ice, I let it melt a little before I drink the rum. But I rarely drink the same rum three days in a row.
Variety is the spice of life.
There are rums that I like better than others, but no single rum that I'd like to drink to the exclusion of all others. Now that I think about it, I do have a short list of rums that I keep on board Tafia. I'm still trying to cut this list down to something that will fit into this space. If you think I haven't answered your question, stay tuned and I'll list twenty of my favorites as soon as I can tell you where to buy them. The book Rums of the Eastern Caribbean is the only guide to the distilleries of the Eastern Caribbean from Puerto Rico to Trinidad.
