So, can we assume that the R/B ratio of one bottle of rum to one box

If a low number grit does not easily take off the hard finish use a finer

Thanks for the suggestion Colin, I could never forgive myself for drinking Scottish Whiskey, I would be contributing to the Kennedy dynasty and for that I could never forgive myself. Rum is much better, we call it the juice of the Caribbean gods, many a pirate sailed these blue waters while indulging it that fine roasted sugar cane fermented nectar. I will keep your suggestion in mind just in case the rum gets too depleted. Bob
