Remember when it comes to bay rum, there are two variations.
The V.I. bay rum is a cinnamon heavy, ‘cowboy’ bay rum. There are also plain bay rums
usually referred to as ‘island’, ‘ tropical’, or ‘Caribbean’. These ‘plain’ bay rums work better
in the summer, in warm weather, whereas the ‘clovey’ bay rums work better in the winter.
Also, check the ingredients for glycerin or glycol, which work better when it’s dry.
Summertime in high humidity- Dominica, West Indies, Superior 70, Gabels bay rum.
Summertime low humidity- Master bay rum (contains glycerin)
Wintertime high humidity- V.I. bay rum
Wintertime low humidity- Captain’s Choice
And if you’re sick like me:
Summertime normal humidity- layrite #9
Wintertime normal humidity- Col. Conk’s
The right bay rum for the situation.
