Not for me, as highly beardy hipster but It doesn't taste like a Gordon's and schweppes anymore. Change in law allowed proliferation of small distilleries doing whacky flavours, some of which have moved onto rum now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DazBob Posted January 28, 2021 Members Share Posted January 28, 2021 Vodka was done ages ago, gin has been done to death over the last few years and now it's dark rum's turn. Must admit, I am a fan of a dark rum (not flavoured) and coke. What's next? Whiskey? Fucking vile stuff, it needs something to make it taste a bit nicer.
