PJ, the "barbeque" comment came from the video link you shared (quoted above).
Yes, I remembered that but thought maybe @classwife had tested it. I was going through my testers last night deciding which I could safely toss and which I needed to keep for a further steep and decided to try the VTA Golden Rum. It tastes like lightly spiced watery ketchup. FIgured I would keep it and see how it tastes after a month-long steep.
