steve, forgive me. ****' A it's number 1! but as you once said, the brownness will detract from the visual aesthetics of a mojito, but the taste should be sublime.
i am thrilled you like it. yeah, i have the HC-7 here...along with HC-3 (which is clear, so should be the best for clear mojitos)...and RZ (unopened--no idea why, i bought it a couple of years ago)...i think that is all i have in the way of rum.
