Yes, indeed. Partial to El Dorado 12. It's a thick, sweet Demerara that can be cloying if sipped neat. But. A glass of that with a squeeze of lime juice and a small slosh of water is one of my favorite cold-weather, fireside drinks. Without the lime juice, it pairs well with a cup of strong black coffee, taken in alternate sips.
