[...] There are some things that can be done to easily correct this.  I’ve already suggested above that you might use heavy cream in the place of whole milk if you find that the texture is a tad light.  In addition, instead of using just any rum, grab a dark Jamaican such as Coruba or a rum like Cruzan Blackstrap (or BOTH!) to give the nogg some depth.  If you want to spice it up a touch, grab a bottle of spiced rum like Kraken or Old New Orleans Cajun Spiced.

I, a native Louisianian recently visited this distillery and took the tour. I was pleased to find such quality in my own back yard! As I spoke with staff members about the products, and being a true bred Cajun this rum really hit home! Living not even 20 miles from our best known product of oak barrels (Tabasco sauce) I absolutely adored this rum. I am not a rum drinker by all means, but the tour and experience at Old New Orleans has made me a believer! Something I may suggest, seeing as this rum had you at the north pole, try placing a little bit of it in your favorite egg nog. I hear it is pretty amazing! Although this rum may not be as phenominal as the 10 yr, it is a good bang for it’s buck! If you are ever near New Orleans I beg you to please, PLEASE go check out the distillery! Also a couple of secrets, they are always brewing up new products/test batches and use tour guests as test audiences! While I was there they were working on a giner beer they called gingeroo. And another great tip, The prices of the rum differ from $18 (crystal), $22 (amber), $25 (Cajun) to $55 (10 yr) which may seem like a steal, but you can buy all for in a set for $100! That’s $20 less and I know alot less than what you would pay elsewhere! Check it out, at least for the discounted rum!

Our friends have tried to get us to try this for a long time now. Finally managed to get a bottle and WOW!! I love spiced rum and this stuff is incredible. Captain who?

This was interesting reading but i have become even more confused now as i hear contradicting opinions on this rum..it looks like its a rum you either love or hate. I have never tried it but i hope to, some day. Port Royal…
