Limited "spirits" in Jamaica?

[mgray]

Smelling Captain Morgan gives me PTSD.

I was in Jamaica 11 years ago and found plain not spiced Captain Morgan that is not stocked in the US. It was pretty good but I prefer Appleton in Jamaica, and Mount Gay in Barbados; of course the unspiced versions.

And yes, there is a difference in Red Stripe. If it says Imported on the bottle send it back just like the locals do and say, "no Mon"

Oh, I don't drink anymore but still can offer advice.

This sounds like a great opportunity for an intervention followed by conversion therapy.

All these comments got my mind working. In the time i've gone from whatever beer I could get my hands on, to Jack and Coke, to Crown and water, to single malt scotch on ice the guy has drank nothing but Captain. I really gotta start giving him more grief about his drink choice.

He's a grown man. It's not your job to solve his alcoholic first world problems.

When you get him there, order him some Wray & Nephew Overproof......he'll be so drunk he won't know or care what kind of rum he's drinking lol.

 

[MNBill]

Second the Wray and Nephew. Agree with the happy meal analogy.

What you really need in Jamaica is a gun. That place is a sh#t hole. Sandals is like a beautiful prison. Look close for the razor wire around the property border. People also drive like complete maniacs. The food was amazing and the scuba diving was pretty cool.

He’s mixing it. You can’t tell when you mix it.

Not to overly confuse the situation, but if he is that rigid, the coke may be a problem too. The coke will be made with sugar. Not corn syrup and tastes noticeably different. Maybe don't tell him that.

Hey, I like Caption Morgan 100 spiced rum. Not a big drinker, but when on vacation I like trying new things.

I was at Sandals Jamaica(without Jan Levinson ) for a wedding about 8 years ago. Can't say that I went looking for a sophisticated spirit like The Captain while I was there so I can't help with that. I can say that I did get tired for Red Stripe and Red Stripe light being the only beers available at an all inclusive resort. I did not get tired of the various frozen daquiris. The Bob Marley, the American Flag, etc.. Not sure which of those created "Bob Marley's revenge" on my digestive tract on when I got home!

After three drinks, it all kind of taste the same anyway doesn’t it? Take enough captain Morgan to get through the three, then switch to whatever. I really like the idea of just using CM bottles and putting other rum in. After you get home, you can tell him that he’s branched out.
