Bacardi......

[mutanthalibut]

Right!....I'm having a crack back.

Bacardi is not a girlie drink, jj.

There are several types of Bacardi;

Bacardi
Bacardi limon
Bacardi spice
Bacardi gold (very nice)
Bacardi 8 (8 year old, even nicer)
Bacardi black

And last but by no means least.....Bacardi 151.

151 is for 151% proof or 87.5% alc/vol. This is proper loopy juice( try drinking half a bottle, they come in litres). Don't drink neat unless you wish to become a practising mute. It even has a flame retarder in the neck of the bottle to prevent you from accidently making your own petrol bomb and has more health warnings than a packet of fags. Definatley not a drink for girls (well, maybe some).

p.s I agree with Onan about the malts especially The Macallan which happens to be extremely welcome.

p.p.s Bacardi Breezer is a "girlie drink".

I am instructed by my co-director/conspiritor - the Rt Hon J.Walker, Esq, MA Hons(Dypso) to oinform you all that you are peasants and do not know the meaning of fine mental brews, (I forgot the rest but he assures me I've got the gist)

[mutanthalibut]

You are correct sir. Bacardi 151 is most certainly not a fine mental brew(though you have to be mental to drink it).

OK, OK, neat or the 151 is OK, but any other form still has a serious cred. problem.
And I'm VERY down on Bacardi (and all the others) for the alcopop thing: utter cynicism in the name of profit- making booze more attractive to kiddies and young professional women.
