Captain's Choice and Ogallala Bay Rum....

My favorites too. CC for bay rum, CC Cat O'Nine Tales for the extra burn and Ogallala for the clove hit. I love a good bay rum soap & A/S, but bay rum is not a long-lasting scent when it comes to colognes. I also like the occasional high-alcohol hit of Superior 70 a/s. I used to find 70 at a local Walgreens for $4. I wouldn't spend much more than that on the internet.

Other than Stirling's? I don't think there's one that's specifically bay run.

However, there are many frags with a bay leaf note.

Perhaps bay rum alone isn't stable enough to make a good, lasting EdT?
 
Captain's Choice and Atomic Age are my favorites although I'm embarrassed to admit I have never tried Ogallala bay rum yet.
 
Is there a bay rum edt?
Royall Bay Rhum claims to be an EDT.

As does Stirling.

Ogallala reportedly has/had a double-strength version which may amount to an EDT.
Although the French have propounded a standard for an eau de toilette, there is no enforcement I know of in the United States so, caveat emptor.

I, too enjoy Royall Bay Rhum, but only if it's the vintage made in Bermuda version. I have gotten the new version and can't compare to my older Bermuda ones.
Favorites of bay rums in den.

Neeham's Bay Rhum (all others pale when compared to this,
their Sandalwood is also amazing)
Royall Lyme Bay Rhum Origin Bermuda
Caribe Bay Rhum " "
Avon Bay Rum
Dominican Lime Bay Rum

I prefer Bay Rums that are milder in clove than others with that heavy clovey pungency akin to walking through group of young people smoking the dreaded clove cigs.

As for the question of a Bay Rum ETD...great question, just by the robust bay scent of Neeham's, I would think it's a possible candidate.
Hey if anyone finds a BR EDT please let me know.
Thanks, Glenn
