    My favorite bartender introduced me to Zacapa this summer…before she left town. Best rum ever. Rum is my liquor of choice, but because of the unavailability of higher quality brands in bars, I tend to drink vodka and Canadian whiskey when I’m out. However, wherever I can find Zacapa, I’m drinking.
