Anyone tried this from 1988? I have a friend wanting to sell me a bottle.

His asking price was $350 a bottle. I told him he is not really my friend at that price.
Ooh, really? Still not quite in my budget but considerably more affordable.It's good
Retail price is more like $70-80 I think
Anyone ever had Midsummer Night's Dram? Had a couple of pours last week. Blended, seasonal Shakespeare-themed rye whiskey: I really enjoyed it. Didn't realize it was like $200 a bottle.
This one is up next.

Rum is interesting. So many off the shelf rums today are full of added sugar and coloring and it definitely has an impact on the taste. I prefer a good rhum agricole, which is made from sugar cane juice as opposed to molasses. It's also a French term and was originally from the French caribbean islands (although i think that others are now producing it the same way). Rhum agricole also has stricter rules so you get a *more* pure product. Definitely worth doing some research - a good reference site is Captain Jimbo's Rum Project (http://rumproject.com/).
Here's another great reference if you want to check how much sugar has been added to your favorite rum:
