Rum from Mauritius

Green Island Spiced Gold

Just chilling out with the rellies in Chennai, my work in India done. Sipping on some fine Mauritian spiced rum, the "Green Island Spiced Gold", lovely vanilla and clove aroma, slightly sweet with a definite menthol finish. Eating some delicious prawn curry, and debating the personality disorders of my uncle's "bootlegger," one Mr. "Booze Nagarajan"... how come I don't have a personal bootlegger? Love these crazy names, an unavoidable fate in this part of the world for people who have interesting personality traits or experiences. Two more examples: Sure-Shot Sundarajan, who could never fail to impregnate his wife, and Thirteen-Plus Mami (pronounced Mommy), who had so many children they stopped counting... they aren't a couple, by the way.
