Awesome! Please let us know how you find it! I haven't tried it recently but hopefully the later batches have not changed much from the one I reviewed.

Certainly doesn't have that ethanol aroma or flavor that some poorly made commercially distilled young rums might have. As said in the review some tasters guessed it to be 12 years old. There is a little bit of spiciness associated with young rums.

Yeah its grams per liter.

To revive this thread here is a list of rums and their sugar contents I've acquired from Alko in Finland. What I find particularily interesting is the changed sugar content in Ron Zacapa 23. The Swedish government still reports it being at 41 g/l. 1167334_540459949378741_1873349235_o.jpg For compari...

That is kind of like an hour glass shape! My tastes are usually towards the more classic style crystal decanters, however I don't really have any use for them on day to day basis, perhaps if I drank wine or if had to transfer the contents of a damaged bottle etc. Either way some of them can look qui...

I have not tried the R.L. Seales 10 yet myself but it has been on my to get list for a long time. Like RC said, products from Foursquare Distillery are always a solid choice.

Very precise! I always just went with my gut, never thought of actually calculating it.

Are you drinking the 54.4% Pusser's? It is not uncommon to dilute higher ABV spirits down to about 40% so in this case the teaspoon would do the trick! I always try higher ABV spirits without water and then with a drop of water and see if it makes any difference to the flavours and aromas, it is an ...

Overall I've found Clément Rhums to be very solid choices, I haven't tried the 10 yo but the VSOP, XO and Cuvee Homere are all excellent. Of HSE rhums I've tried the Single Malt Finish 2002 and I think the Single Cask 1998 and if I recall I found them both very interesting and well worth looking int...

I've received quite a few enquiries about what happened to the Rum Project but I don't know any more about it than anyone else. My email has also not been answered which I find quite weird. I wouldn't want to start speculating though, it could be anything. Nevertheless, welcome to the forums Dai, an...

Do you mean the orange label (Reserva) ? The green bottle is Reserva Exclusiva and the beige label is Añejo. But yes your comment now makes sense if you meant the orange label.

One of my German friends read this thread and mentioned a couple of interesting things and also makes a valid point. I have his permission to post the below: "There are two things I’d like to add First, in the USA the taste for sweet things is much more pronounced due to the fact, that their general...

Pampero 1938 to my understanding is different to the Aniversario, aged 5-6 years. The Aniversario is the premium version. I'm not sure which Havana Club Marchpig is referring to here as they all start with Añejo something. So we have Añejo Blanco, Añejo 3 Años, Añejo Especial and Añejo 7 Años etc...

http://www.refinedvices.com/forums/download/file.php?id=32 I've noticed an increasing amount of new rums coming to the market in the recent years and a majority of them, particularily the hispanic style rums, are extremely sweet with a few exceptions here and there. These rums are generally really ...

If you can afford them you definitely should get both of them. There is only a limited number available worldwide and I'm definitely drinking mine!

I haven't tasted these particular rums you mentioned but I have very good experiences from both the Rum Nation and Silver Seal range of rums; I have tried the Jamaica Supreme Lord IV from Rum Nation and also a Panama rum from them and some Demerara rums from Silver Seal, though I can't remember whic...

Hi zonz, please feel free to post the link to your ebay auction. I'm sure there are many people interested in the original Pyrat Planters Gold Rum. Welcome to the forums!

Two good educational and entertaining videos on how to taste Whisky from one of the masterminds in the industry, Richard Paterson.

Blast from the past! I'm still not a big gin drinker but there are certain gin cocktails that I do love, they don't share their recipes at Experimental Cocktail Club in London but some of those gin drinks are magic. As for the Hendricks unusual tonic I believe I've once tried this, in order to get m...

http://www.refinedvices.com/newsimages/brooklyn/whiskyandale-16t.jpg Most of you probably know I'm more of a spirits guy than a beer guy but on the last week of May I went to a whisky bar to photograph a boilermaker or a beer and whiskey pairing event and got to try some amazing beers from Brooklyn...

I still have not been able to purchase a real humidor with nice cedar linings and a mahogany exterior so have had to use a temporary plastic lunch box to store what little cigars I have. However I've had some small problems with mould on a couple of the cigars I have and was wondering if anyone here...

http://www.refinedvices.com/newsimages/rum/thumb/mountgilboat.jpg Mount Gilboa is an interesting rum for many reasons, the most noticeable detail being the fact that the rum is triple distilled, more importantly a triple distilled pot still rum. As far as I know there are only a handful of rums in ...

Quite an interesting read and somewhat disappointing. Surprising? Not so much these days. I don't really understand the ever increasing trend of flavoring rums with additives. In fact, almost every new rum that has been recently released seem tweaked to the point where it is so blatant the additives...

Well at least they gave me 50 years notice this time so I can start saving money for this one. It is unlikely I will soon afford the current 50 year old release.

Wray & Nephew Limited, on Wednesday September 19, held the barrelling ceremony for the Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum Prime Ministers’ Reserve – a very special and unique rum blend which will be used to celebrate the...

I also tasted quite a few Kilchoman whiskies recently, I'm not sure if these two were in the tasting, but overall I was impressed by what they have done with their whiskies and how they are so mature for their age.

You got it at Hitime?
