Welcome to the forum and welcome to Louisville Phil. It's a swell bunch of folks with tons of good ideas and willingness to help. Like the others, I recommend you get out, do one of the off line meetings, it's great fun.
Now, about your preferences in rum.... have you tried Rhum Barbancourt yet? It's a French Haitian, pure sugar cane rum. Sure to make Louisville winters a bit more sparkley!
