Does anyone know where I can find some in the area? Thanks. Mon Jan 24 22:56:44 -0800 2005 0 Fanny 1 930301 Would that be Baltimore or DC?

I'm not a rum drinker but it seems like their selection is pretty good.

I'll have to try them. Tue Jan 25 12:21:18 -0800 2005 930309 0 Fanny 1 930358 Not sure about Mt. Gay - never been real partial to it but I have a rum tip for anyone interested. I used to live on St. Croix and the local rum - Cruzan - is very good. They produce a huge amount but most of it gets sent by cargo ship to be bottled in Baltimore and other places under real generic labels. You'll find it with lame pictures of sailing ships and stuff like that but if it says "Product of the Virgin Islands" or "Virgin Islands Rum" then it's Cruzan and it's good. Both their white and gold rums are clean and dry. They sell 1.5 L of the stuff for about $9.00 to $11.00 so it's a bargain. Also, Cruzan has just started to blend the huge stock of aged rums they've had cellared in barrels and the stuff is terrific and still a good deal. Just thought I'd throw in a plug for a good product from a place I love. Tue Jan 25 15:08:04 -0800 2005 930293 0 Dennis M 2 930362 If you haven't already, try the Cruzan Blackstrap rum. More intense than the Gosling Black Seal, almost like alcoholic molasses. Top notch! Thanks, K Tue Jan 25 15:24:11 -0800 2005 930358 0 KOK
