Yo Ho Ho, NABOR! Welcome! NABOR stands for "and a bottle of rum" and for "neighbor." This chronicles my search for both the very best rum and the best rum value for mixing in Caffeine-Free Diet Coke. I’ve rated well over 60 rums for taste and value. I have been surprised how many outstanding rums I've found--and how much better many are than what I had been drinking. Of course, a few of them are very expensive, but there are some incredible values to be enjoyed. --Glynn Ligon

Rum: Treaty Oak Plantation Rum, Austin, Texas
Rating: 2 Proof: 80
"Hand crafted in Austin, Texas. Finest local ingredients." That's a quote from the makers. Not at all sure what local ingredients could be. First impression: Rub it on. Phew. First taste--Austin is not the Caribbean. Austin rum is weird. Treaty Oak was poisoned, wasn't it?
Value Rating: .20 Very Low
Typical Price: $20/750 ml
