finished off a bottle last month. posted it up here and in the whiskey threads...don't know the right category but I do enjoy it.
Mike, you ever tried Balconies Rum? Buckle up!

No haven’t tried the rum yet.

As far as the Rumble, I’m not sure either. Some say rum, some say whiskey, some say a spirit all its own.

I think a spirit all it's own, based on ingredients

Kirk & Sweeney 18

Smith and Cross traditional Jamaican rum. Decent ester funk but the over proof has a bit of the mass produced nail polish taste. Still a good one, but nowhere near Lost Spirits Navy or the long gone Plantation 2001 Jamaican rum

used to see 2, maybe 3 offerings from Lost Spirits. gonna have to look again.

had been a long time, I've drifted from the sweet rums, so I picked up a bottle of Zaya recently...just not enjoying it like I did years ago.

They moved to LA and kinda got hard to find on their offerings.

remember when we first drank it?
whoa, that was a wake up call!

Oh boy

Recently been upping my Rum game.

Four Square Port Cask Finish
Four Square Premise
2006 Foursquare 11 Year Old "Golden Devil" Single Barrel (I almost bought a 1992 Hampden 24 Year Old "Golden Devil" Single Barrel Jamaican Rum but then it was gone when i change dmind - anyone had?)
Duncan Taylor Single Cask Rum - 10yr Monymusk distilled in 2003
Navazos Palazzi Cask Strength Rum - Oloroso Casks
Barrell Rum Tale of Two Islands - Jamaican 8yr finished in Islay Whisky casks

found myself in a Trader Joe's that carries booze. Took a flyer on a bottle of $8 rum...Rum of the Gods.
had 3 or 4 fingers wif a smoke, and as expected found it pleasant enough but light, more suited as a mixer which is not normally what I do with rum.

so I mixed the next one with Plantation overproof, and now I'm drinking rum.

rinse...repeat.

Real McCoy 12yr 80pf was on sale for $20 bucks in the closeout section at my local. Bought one, went home had first glass. Next day bought the other 2 on the shelf. I wish it were higher proof, but this stuff is good. For the money, it might be the best value in spirits I've found yet. There are limited/special edition releases from Real McCoy that have higher proof. I'm going to keep any eye out. Real McCoy is made in Barbados by Foursquare. They also make doorly's. I think I'm in love with RIchard Seale and Foursquare products.

Has anyone else had any from the foursquare line? Any reccomendations for similar, no added coloring or sugar rums? Preferably cask strenght?

And lastly.... anyone that has a local liquor store carrying Hamilton St. Lucia Ministry of Rum and Caribbean Spirits, apparently this stuff has just recently been discontinued. St Lucia distillers group has stopped selling to this independnt bottler and it maybe years before this stuff makes it back to the US. Buy buy buy! Heading up to indy to snag a few bottles I hope on Tuesday.

Havana Club 7

The last of the bottle I picked up in the Duty Free Shop in Tokyo International as we were returning home. Tried to stretch it out as much as possible...gonna miss it.

Botran 15 solera...Guatemala

Chairman’s Reserve Forgotten Casks out of St Lucia

ran out of expensive scotch, eh?

HA!

FIFY

I don’t know, just smoked like a rum kind of evening. Sometimes I drink vodka, too. And occasionally bourbon. Prolly back on the scotch this week.
