So, I'm planning on picking up a bottle tonight at my local LCBO. I personally love good cocktails, especially martini varients (Like Manhattans.) Would it be with dry or sweet vermouth? And would a light rum or a dark rum be better? Also, I'm starting to get into infused alcohols. I made lemongrass infused vodka recently, and am wondering what would be a good infused flavour. Tropical fruit? Mint? Even chocolate?

So I just found out my favourite small batch, copper still, artisnal, (insert booze hipster bs here), distillery just made their own rum. I am going to pick up a bottle monday, and I will tell you all about it. The problem is, I have no idea what to expect. Help?

Kenning posted:Honestly, unless they rep it as a <region>-style rum there's not a lot to go on. If they're using a pot still and a molasses base you can probably bet it'll be a bit twangy and Jamaican-ish. But really, rum is so variable it could taste like almost anything. If I were an artisnal distiller interested in rum, I'd produce something with a bit of sulfur, a thick mouthfeel, some rich brown sugar, and a long finish. The problem is that I just described Smith and Cross, and no doubt the distillery in question has tasted it while they were learning about rum profiles. Of course It's these guys and here is Their Rum

So, question, is Gosling Dark the best for dark and stormies?
