The third episode features a bottle of rum that was gifted to me, and sat in my liquor cabinet for a decade before I opened it for this show. A large bottle of Bundaberg Overproof rum from Australia. It's 57.7% alcohol by volume, so 115.4 Proof. This episode is best enjoyed with Bundy rum and cola!
