Rum Run

On a happier note, while taking a run down Mass Ave this evening, I did find a liquor store that sells the heavenly Pyrat XO Reserve rum.

A few years ago my girlfriend brought me back a bottle of Bacardi 8 from the distillery in Puerto Rico. Ever since I've been a big fan of aged rum. (And even more a fan of my endlessly thoughtful girlfriend!)

The ideal destination for rum drinkers of all kinds is the Cuban-inspired Naked Fish. During an after-work trip to the Faneuil Hall location a few weeks ago, the bartender recommended the XO, and I was instantly smitten. It's sugary without being too sweet, molassas-dark without being syrupy—everything you'd want in a sipping rum.
