I never cared for rum when I was young because Coke seemed to be the
main mixer, and I never cared much for Coke. I later learned to enjoy
sipping amber and dark rum.

I love Scotch. Straight, with just a tiny bit of water, or little ice.
Irish whiskey is pretty good too. My limited experience with Bourbon
has left me unimpressed. Maybe the premium stuff is worth trying.
