Converted to Rum after years of avoiding it

I resisted Rum for a long time based on a bad early experience. Then a friend insisted I try a properly made version served chilled and everything changed. The complexity on the palate I'd missed the first time was suddenly the point.

Been drinking it regularly for about six months now and find myself actively seeking out interesting producers and styles. The rabbit hole is deep. Highly recommend giving it a second chance if your first experience was poor.
