AHH, 1 Barrel rum is absolutely superb!! We traveled to Ambergris Caye several years ago and were truly amazed at how distinctive the flavor was. I have mentioned it on this board before. It is definitely worth trying.

A nice smooth light rum, at quite a good price, is Genesis by Appleton. All the Appleton rums are quite good but I am not a rum snob at all. If I like it and the price is fairly reasonable...I'll drink it. With that said, I don't drink rum straight. I mix it with something...so no real need for the really expensive stuff for me. There are so many different rums to be found in Jamaica. Watch out for the overproof....it can give you quite a delayed kick! LOL

Have a great time!
