Release the Kraken!

[Catrin]

This was the first cold/wet day of the season and I found myself at the liquor store for the first time in a year to get my annual booze....errrr....warming supplies for the coming winter. Kind of sad that 1 bottle of Bailey's and one bottle of Rum will likely last me well into spring. I may still have to add a bottle of Barbancourt 5 Star at some point, but that store doesn't carry it (not many do here). They DO, however, carry Kraken Rum - gotta love a rum that has a monster octopus as a logo I've been told that it's perfect for hot buttered rum drinks and that is what I mainly use it for during the coldest part of the winter. I've been wanting to try it so it seemed a good time.

So it is time for the annual fall/winter rum and booze thread - what is YOUR favorite rum? Other booze is welcome as well, I just tend to only have the occasional good port, rum in the winter, and I also like Bailey's in decaf coffee or on the rocks (and I may try to make my own when I finish this bottle). I am not drinking beer right now, too many calories and it doesn't help me to warm up when the temps drop.
