Legacy Matters
Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel.
.....
....the body of the man had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.

Some of the workers liked the "special taste" so they decanted a few bottles to take back home, that is before the body of a naked man fell out.
They are not the only people to have enjoyed the special taste rum acquires from a human corpse as I posted earlier in Tapping the Admiral.
There's a lesson in this. Know where your rum comes from.
