I've tried the Dalmore on several different occasions - can't do it. Maybe the Gran Reserva is different. Maybe.

I'm a big fan of the Oban as well. It's my second favorite.

Picked up a bottle of Old New Orleans Rum - Cajun Spice and drank the better part of the bottle while throwing darts with the father-in-law a few weeks back. Don't know if ya'll can find it where you are at, but it's really tasty!
