I was researching a bottle of Rum for a friend and realized that I did not know of any other than “The Captain”. Even though that is my favorite, I did not know of any better brands.
In the process I found a few lists of what are reported as some the best of each type of spirits.

I have not tried much on this list. I guess I have some catching up to do.
