You are correct, but I have sailed the seven seas with the good Captain Morgan.
All seven.
And as much as I would consider myself swashbuckling enough to pull off the Rum of all Rums, I am no where near smooth enough to attempt Scotch....
A great scotch, like a great man, is aged long and well. Anything less is pretentious; a cheap imitator of smooth and delicious.
A great rum, on the other hand, requires little if any aging and the only requirement is that it creates a generally jovial demeanor, somewhat carefree, and by imbibing, has a tendency in bringing out the singer in all of us.
"Yo ho ho, and a bottle of ... scotch?"
