A year ago I didn't like bay rum. Smelled like cloves to me. Then I got Master Bay Rum - which I liked, and now Dominica - which I really like. The Dominica may be similar to the one you found, as appears to have little else other than alcohol and bay oil.

: The other day (Saturday night) I was driving

: off the highway and into a supermarket
: that's right there for easy off/back on.
: This is about 8 miles from home, in Queens,

: Since it's in a 'bad' neighborhood I usually
: lock up the car near the front door with the
: wife and kids inside and pop in there.
: Sometimes the wife pops in, as well; she has

: just the built-in common sense than comes

: Actually, the wife has had a gun put to her

: There is a company called Jamaican Choice
: that makes spices; jerk chicken rub, hot
: sauce, "pepper", and the like.
: And, apparently, they make a Bay Rum!
: It costs like $2, its got a plain label, and
: all I know are the ingredients, which are
: 47% alcohol, water, and bay leaf oil.

: I don't really like Bay Rum; my previous
: favorite was Superior 70; I liked that
: better than the Clubman, Ogallala, St.
: Johns, and Royall. It really works for me,
: though, and I use it from time to time,
: usually in the colder weather; the scent is
: somehow warming for me, at least, it warms
: my heart. Bay leaves are all over Greek
: cooking; my mother would use them all the
: time, and they now seem to remind me of her.
: So, perhaps I should say that as of
: recently, I DO like Bay Rum.

: Anyway, this is the most satisfying bay rum
: I have ever tried.

: Tim, if you're reading this, I'm sending you
: one, and I'd like you to tell us what you
