My question for the lovely fruitcake people out there: should it be patiently infused with dark rum, or should it be patiently infused with bourbon whiskey? What say you?

I have a place that I also think has great fruit cakes called Claxton Bros. and since they are sold at Sam's Club I bought three of them.
I make my fruit cakes last a long time by having just a very small treat every once in a while. I think the Christmas one lasted until August.

Now, I know why they made me sick - but, I still WANNIT!

I've seen recipes using fruit juice but it seems like it wouldn't be "real" without basting and/or alcohol. Maybe less authentic shouldn't matter to me. Your creations look so tasty!
