Craig, Ah....Michelsen's Bay Rum. Haven't heard that one mentioned for awhile. A nice version of the classic I think.
Regards,
Gordon

I really like it Gordon, I don't know why I don't use it more often. It's not the longest lasting scent, but it's a very classy incarnation of Bay Rum. I understand that St Thomas is another great BR, it will be my next purchase when my Michelsen's is gone. Masters is a nice BR, and a great value given the price.
Cheers,

Craig

Craig, Do you mean St John's Bay Rum? If so, yes, it's one of the very best IMO.

Sorry, that is indeed what I meant to write Gordon. I've heard that St John's might be at the top of the BR pecking order.
Cheers,

Craig

Craig, IMO, it might be. My other personal favourite is the D R Harris's version. Everyone's taste varies of course.
