Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaican Rum / 750mL

A top pick for tiki and tropical drinks, this practically begs for lime juice. Scented with warm honey notes, the palate shows lots of brown sugar and spice, plus an enticingly untamed, funky finish (the fabled *hogo*). Since it's "navy strength," you might not want to sip it straight up - the producer wisely recommends exploring the profile first in a daiquir-though it's smooth and interesting enough if you want to try. 95 Points Wine Enthusiast
