Help needed with 18th century English, handwriting, and rum...

Asked by JimmyG (122points) December 24th, 2009

“This being Christmas Day I ordered an ??? of Rum to be served to each person…”
This was written on Dec 25, 1787, by an English captain. A picture of the ”??? of Rum” can be seen here .
Any help deciphering the ??? would be greatly appreciated.
