    Rum and reflections in a window

    Three bottles of incredibly good and expensive 23 year old Guatemalan rum (think prices of very high end Scotch whiskey) sitting in the window of a hotel window. The top of the window acted as a mirror showing a bit of the surrounding landscape.

    The "regular", not the special edition stuff was slightly more expensve than a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue.

    Great image. I keep wanting to see a little more, though. Perhaps the exterior wall somehow diminished the subject? On another note, I wonder what it is about distilling and/or aging "good" (pricey) rum that distinguishes it from the run of the mill stuff?

    Reason for the tight crop is that the building is white stucco and the white framing distracted from the image. As for the production method, I have no idea, but it is barrel aged for 23 years.

    Not to mention, I was standing right beside a long, step drop. The hotel was built on the sides of a steep hill.
