Friday Happy Hour: Gosling’s Family Reserve Old Rum

Gosling's Family Reserve Old Rum Coffin?

With my knee injury weighing heavily on my mind, I can’t help but feel like the unthinkable may be happening:
I’m getting old.
Not rickety, creaky and possessed of a musty smell old. Not yet. But also not quite the young, wild man I used to be who managed to amass nearly a whole decade simply referred to as “the lost years”—a time which remains hazy and undetailed due to a combination of embarrassment, reverence, and my terrible memory that, come to think of it, may be a direct result of the many “experiences” had over the course of those adventurous days.

Friday Happy Hour: Dark n’ Stormy® – The Tempest in a Glass

It’s amazing so much dispute could surround such a delectable libation like the Dark ‘n Stormy from Bermuda.

Just about everyone from the islands hopes to move back eventually (I know I do), while most everyone else dreams about living on “island time” at some point or another. David LaHuta is not most everyone. Originally from New York City, this freelance journalist now calls Bermuda home.
Editor’s note: Yes, we know that Bermuda is technically not in the Caribbean, but just look at that photo! You telling me you want to split hairs when that could be your backyard? Didn’t think so…
Bermuda is not David’s first island home either – he lived in St. Croix from 2000 to 2003.
