Were you there before or after Katrina? If I remember right, they found themselves in a tough spot after the hurricane and I think a new owner came in, resulting in some changes.

Drink what you like, like what you drink.

That's why rum is such a great spirit, I think there's more variety here than any other spirit (Scotch is probably a close second). Every island/country has their own style, so there's something for everyone. Kinda like cigars
