Please tell me you’ve ordered a large Sailor Jerry.
He’s meeting me at the B+B in an hour.
Another Habana Club 7 but being Wetherspoons, no ice and no lime.
Still it came to the right table.
way way way better than Bicardi and Navy Rums. I have fond memories of drinking really strong white rum out of little cartons (like juice ones) on the Malecon in Havana with friends. Even that was better than Bicardi.
Couple of new additions to the rum shelf this evening. Will probably report later though I’ve already had 3 margaritas so who knows what the fuck may happen.
This thread should be retitled The Rum Diaries, in honour of the late great Hunter S. Thompson, imho.
The Three Tides is really smoky. Reminds me of Laphroaig single malt. Very unusual and I’m not sure if I like it neat. Maybe I’ll try it with Ginger beer and lime. Should work well.
The Merser and Co is fucking delicious. Very smooth with a hit of pineapple. Yummy.
Nice. Had that Goslings on my Masters of Malt wish list for a while.
Just thought I would do some quality control
The diablesse is a winter warmer - orange / spice - this going to be a Christmas Eve tipple
On the down side the Ayatollah has just declared that she could become quite partial to it, so there’s fuck all chance it going to see December
Someone bought me this a while back - bananas, bananas and a hint of bananas. Oh and a bit more bananas
Saying it’s moreish is doing it a disservice
Have you found the perfect mixer for the three tides cos it ain’t no sipper
I like it with ginger beer and lime. I reckon it would go well with a cigar too if sir partakes (I don’t).
I shall be offering it to guests at every opportunity
Lol. I do that with the Dark Matter rum which started off as “ooh, that’s got a bit of bite” and quickly became “fuck me my mouth is on fucking fire”.
How is the Goslings?
Now that is not getting shared
Very smooth, a lot darker that I would normally go for - think molasses
Yum. I like the Molasses heavy rums. Have you tried Dictador? Their 12 year old rum is good. They also do a 20 and a few other versions. All worth a go. @Saint-or-sinner is a fan too.
The ginger beer helps (a bit)
I think I may be trying to persuade (con) someone into taking this off my hands
