Costco Connection magazine suggested we try some aged rum. Typically aged for three to 12 years in oak barrels, rum becomes softer as it ages. It’s suggested that aged rum can replace bourbon and whiskey in many standard cocktails. Why would one do that? Because a 20 year old rum can be had for around $80 while a similarly-aged bourbon or scotch will run into the hundreds or even thousands. Not sure? Bars like Rumba in Seattle feature over 200 variations of rum. Try before you buy.
