I may be a lot of things but Iā€™m not a misogynist! I love women. Itā€™s just the gays Iā€™m less keen on. And blacks. ---

Up for this. I also want the golden tot tokens(lotā€™s of them). Quorhum 30 turned up yesterday. Itā€™s very drinkable. Will bring a hip flask with me to the Fulham game for anyone that wants to try it. ---

Try La Hechicera Solera 21(m&s have it). I normally like the smooth demerara rums. This one isnā€™t, but itā€™s dragging me back again and again. Prunes, expresso and tobacco flavours. Very nice and about Ā£35-40 I am waiting on a delivery of a Brugal 1888 and a Matusalem 23 gran reserva which reads like nectar from the gods ,going on this review. **Nose:** Fresh honey and golden syrup. Crunchy almonds. Cedar wood. **Palate:** Creamy and rich, with plenty of fruit joining the sweet, sugary notes. **Finish:** Spiced and lasting on the finish. Overall: One to savour and enjoy neat. If it can deliver this, iā€™m in heaven at under Ā£50 a bottle. ---

Approve is an understatement. I donā€™t think thereā€™s another bottle at the same price that compares. Ā£33 a bottle and itā€™s smooth, rich and leaves an almost peat whisky clean aftertaste. If anything proves we are an intelligent species, itā€™s El Dorado rum. ---
