Good vodka. Good welfare state. Once Were Vikings apparently.

But they mostly take orders from Germans and Americans nowadays. Sad!

    Oh yeah, Diplomatico is great. Even if money's tight, you can get lots of decent rum on a budget. Appleton and even Havana Club are usually what people think of but Plantation Grande Reserve Five Year is my go-to.

      I got a 7 year old Havana Club and I'm sorry, I love you Cuba, but it's bad 🤮

      almost as expensive as the Diplomatico too for this bottle. Since it's the only brand Cuba sells under, there's many different names like the Especial, Seleccion, so maybe I need to try another one but... for the price I paid I'm not sure I want to repeat the experience.

        Yeah, Havana 7 is not a great sipper but it's something if you're a broke-ass Midwest student who didn't want to touch spiced rums with a 12 ft pole like I was (Captain Morgan was my first experience with rum and turned me off of rum entirely for a year lol).

        For Cuban rums, aside from the premium Havana Club stuff, there's also Santiago de Cuba which I've been meaning to try.
