Ahhh, but not any rum. Brugal 1888 Ron Gran Reserva Familiar is a top-shelf sipping rum with an exceptional creamy smoothness that offers single malt Scotches a run for their money. It is double-distilled, then double-aged for flavor, first in toasted American white oak casks, then in Spanish oak casks used for aging sherry. The final master blend, richly scented with a lightly smoky finish, combines rums aged 5 to 14 years. The Brugal founding family has been distilling rum in the Dominican Republic since 1888. This is an annual limited edition. Price: $50.
