Hello,
I ran to the supermarket tonight because I felt like having some rum, and, well, I was out.
Got to browsing the selections, and down on the bottom there was 1.75L of spiced rum for about half of what 1.75L of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum runs.
It was in a plastic jug.
I grabbed it, took it up to the front register where I had noticed, on the way in, that a couple teenagers were working. I figured they would be good sources of info as my teenage years consisted solely of beer and Jose Quervo.
They had never had it, so I went back, put it back on the shelf, and grabbed some Bacardi, which I'd been meaning to try out. I'm finding it's not quite as refined as Captain Morgan, not quite as smooth, but it is pretty good.
They also had some other top-shelf stuff that cost $50 and up. Don't see me wanting to spend that much on alcohol, but I do enjoy a good Scotch, rum toddy, or tequila straight or margarita now and again.
So I guess I'm asking, what is that bottom shelf stuff? I didn't see any Maddog 20/20 by it, so I guess maybe it's better than corn squeezins', but how much better? Is it stuff to drink just when you want to get a drunk on, or what?
(One of the cheap rums down at the bottom was "Admiral" something-or-other, an obvious knock-off of Captain Morgan).
So, what's up with this stuff?
Thanks,
Josh
