100% Overproof Jamaican

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 7 May 2007 in Miscellaneous.

White Rum and Appleton Special are Jamaica's most famous rums. Found in so many bars, parties and mixed drinks from hotels to the house on the hill overlooking the sea. These two rums have been 100% overproof Jamaican for centuries and continues to be.

I can very well recall my first encounter with a "brain killer-named drink" and decided never to touch rum again! Good choice on b&w, very crisp clear details!

I will have a Rum and Coke.
Which Rum do you prefer?

@Bob: It depends, Appleton is good fro Rum and Coke or Pepsi, but White rum is good for most mixed drinks especially Rum Punch

To be taken with moderation! that's for the Rum.
On the contrary, you can go over moderation for your photos!

If there were a photo to accompany Hemmingway's "A Well-lighted Place" then this photo would definitely be it. Ernest Hemmingway might've just knocked back a few at de Cantina, chased it with some milk, an' just get up an' walk off likkle while -- this would make an edgy calendar.
