I'm not a huge fan of the more "syrupy" taste of the black cask. But after trying a gift bottle for a while, I'm a little more used to it than I was at first.

It's main advantage being that it gets you drunk quicker then regular Captain since its 100 proof.

Also, at an xmas party I was introduced to Captan & Vernors. Hmm, I liked it. It is now a nice alternative to Capt & Coke when I need to change things up.

Not sure how you can taste anything when it's mixed with Coke. That crap overpowers everything, so gross.

Most of the places I go, by the time they are done putting Captain and some ice in the glass, theres only enough room left for a splash or two of coke.

Now if you go to some college dive, ya, your gonna get a can of coke with a splash of some kind of rum in a captain bottle that may not even be captain.

I'm not a big rum drinker, but when I do have it I generally just have it with an ice cube.

you must be missing a few tastebuds KT :( :(

for the people above, I haven't had a good opportunity to try Private Stock yet. That will probably be my next selection.

Also, is the Mount Gay Rum a spiced or traditional rum? I had Bacardi Gold and it was nasty.

if it tastes better than other rums, they gotta be doing something right.

no, you're just doing something horribly wrong. ...or comparing to even shittier rums, which doesn't help you.

Spidey is largely right. Though I don't mind it for mixing. I'd hate to mix a real rum.

Sorry, but if the place has to disguise some rum as Captain...then they have some serious problems. wtf.

Traditional, but it's freaking amazing. I think I like it better than appleton. I drink both neat all the time.

I like my tequila straight usually, but a nice rum and some diet coke is a good drinking drink.

If you are just sipping then the less additives the better usually.

My usual fuel is Mich Ultra. I can just line them up and be ok (I have had about 8 since I got home an hour and a half ago...I am slowing down though as I go. Usually the first hour is more than I drink in the next 4, tonight I am busy with BS so more drinking)
