Trader Vics Banana Rum
A fun and fruity rum that will make you want to swingfrom the trees. Great with any tropical mixer. Banana rumtastes like rum made from bananas, or at least rum withnatural banana flavors. 99 Bananas tastes like strongalcohol with melted-down banana runts. I refer to theflavor, not the sweetness. In fact it tastes like the syrup thatcanned pineapple comes packed in. I would definitelyrecommend it as it has a real natural flavor.
267 Rum Infusions Mango
The undeniably tropical flavor of
mangoes mixes with 267 RumInfusions. Add pineapple juice andAmaretto for a fabulous Mai-Tai.
You can't taste the alcohol at all. It is less sweetthan other Mango rums, but has a little bite toit. This has a very authentic flavor. Plus, it hasfruit in the bottle, so that must mean it is goodfor you! This tastes like I just cut a fresh mangowith an equally excellent flavor.
