Listen to everything and I mean everything that Saltbush and Yummy say if you like your rum and give SBBs recipe a try its simple and it works. Have fun and enjoy :D

Hi gumby (i've got my head stuck in the cupboard)
I started with rum as well, made from feed stock molasses - aging 6 month to a year on oak was definitely needed for a drinkable product for me.
Have fun!
