Santa hooked me up with a bottle of HC7 this year. As my first bottle of good sipping rum, I love it oh so much. I shared some of it with a friend of mine, i got up to go to the bathroom and came back as he was pouring coke into it. Needless to say, he has lost his HC7 privileges. I did taste his perversion of such a fine rum though, and it certainly was delicious.

My girlfriend's mom gave me a bottle of Woodford Reserve distillers select bourbon. I'll let you know if I ever find a better one.
