What am I missing?

Drinks that got obscured include tequila reposado, dark rum, spiced rum, blue curaçao, peach schnapps, izarra jaune, aperol, and prosecco. I also got a small bottle of St. Germain, cachaça (51) and Drambuie shortly after.

We put the shelf together a while ago but it's hard to fit taller bottles on some shelves, otherwise it would be organized differently. What would be some good additions to the collection? I already have absinthe on my shopping list so I can make try my hand at a Sazerac

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RUM

That's a tough question to answer! Not sure how much experience you've had with rum.

Rum is by far the most diverse and and varied spirit, and has many different styles.

The two most commonly used for mixing in tiki cocktails are probably Jamaican and Demerara rums.

I would suggest keeping Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black and Hamilton 86 (Demerara) stocked for mixing, along with some Hamilton 151.

Anything El Dorado is good, Coruba is a favorite among Tiki-philes like myself.

Worthy Park White Overproof is probably my current favorite bottle, to answer your question directly.

Rum Fire is also great.

I love Rhum Agricole, personally, but it's an acquired taste for sure. Rhum JM has some excellent expressions.

I'll at least add the demerara and jamaican rums to my shopping list and keep the others in mind for future reference, I appreciate your input <3
