not an expert on rum, but isn't captain morgan some bottom shelf shit?

The higher the rank of the sailor on the bottle, the worse the rum.

Yeah, General Reginald Longbottom's Genuine Navy Rum is FOUL!

Recruit Rum on the other hand..

You know it's bad because Navies have Admirals

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

That's actually the reason for MOST bad things!

Before someone decided that there should be admirals, things were mostly fine everywhere 🤷

Poopdeck Rum is the best.

kraken eats them all

The label says premium, so...

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think simply being a recognized brand automatically qualifies it as middle shelf, but I might be wrong 🤷

No chance, Aristocrat would like a word. And Burnette's and Vladimir are here to back them up lmao.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Are those bottom shelf? Top shelf? I've never heard of any of them 🤷

Granted, I'm far from an expert, but by "recognized brand", I meant "brand so well-known that people who know as little or even less than me know of it"

Like your Smirnoffs, your Jack Daniels, your José Cuervos etc etc.

The kind of shit people who don't know what to ask for ask for 😉

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

They come in plastic bottles, count yourself lucky you haven't heard of them lol, but they're all very well known and far below "middle shelf."

"Spiced Rum"

Bottom shelf stuff you would never touch if its actual taste wasn't covered by additives.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

It's gotta be like the 3rd shelf from the bottom because Caribba exists... And there's shit worse than Caribba.
