'sall good. Next time you go to Canada, get a bottle of Havana Club. Or get someone to bring you one. The rum that's generally available in the continental United States isn't particularly good. We don't have a palate for it here. We probably will - for some reason, I tend to get into things a few years ahead of the crowd, which swoops in and fucks it up but also occasionally brings boons from overseas - but in the meantime, the fact that "rum" to most new drinkers is a choice between Captain Morgan flavored swill, Sailor Jerry's flavored swill or Malibu flavored swill pretty much puts culture at Bartles & Jaymes / Zima levels of enjoyment. I guess they got sick of eleventy seven different flavors of vodka.
