I'll let you know how it tastes when we get back from the Estate in June. Looks like a guaranteed winner!!!!!

paulipbartender

oooooooooops!

I think I may have been abusing my moderator super powers!!! I must have hit the 'Edit' button rather than 'Quote' and added my reply to yours. My apologies

paulipbartender

Please forgive the straight-forward answer (little pressed for time in the office today). Just discussed this with the bartender experts and they agree, drink it neat or on the rocks. If you want to mix with it, you can make a standard daiquiri or the non-politically correct named Mulata Daiquiri Mu...

Thank you! A delightful review for a delightful rum. I can hardly wait reviewing Rum Nation Demerara.

Damn I love that rum. I hope you enjoy it too

paulipbartender

What a delightful review. Good work old boy

paulipbartender

20 rums a day you say? Does that equal to 20 standard measures? (I hope no spitting aka wasting of the rum was done) Thanks for the links. No spitting as far as I saw. God forbid! We usually serve out about 15-20ml measure of each rum for the tasting, however, my own tasting mat is usually over-flo...

paulipbartender

Sorry for the delay in replying old chap. The Rum experience was exceptional. About 40 people sat through the course on the 3 days tasting 20 rums a day and sitting through some fun training. We even managed to make a passable 32-35% distillate from a blackstrap mollases 18 hour fermented wash, with...

Daniel - I've been meaning to say, those bottles you use are beautiful. Are you planning to go into production with something similar?

paulipbartender

Happy birthday Dear Count.

Thanks for bringing us this board - here's a rum soaked salute from London

paulipbartender

How is the Barbancourt? Have you rushed off the cap yet? Yes, the Doorly's XO comes in a metal tube. A rum supplier told me that consumers don't view rums as being premium unless they come in a metal tube. I told him I couldn't give a monkeys what the bottle is wrapped in as long as the rum is good ...

paulipbartender

£150! It's an exceptional whisky for anyone who also appreciates fine rum but that's a lot of money.

Could I be persuaded to pay £150 for it? Don't know - good thing we don't have to

paulipbartender

Barbancourt all the way old boy. The Doorly's XO is fine but can be saved for another day

paulipbartender

Just lucky I have a job where this kind of thing qualifies as work

paulipbartender

They were very definite it ws purely a design feature. I'll try and find out when it was introduced.

paulipbartender

Thank the chaps at Santa Teresa. Their brand ambassador team in the UK headed up by an exceptional bartender called Jim Wrigley are brilliant and full of information. As I said on MOR - I wish all producers in all categories were as free with information

paulipbartender

Prepare to be majorly let down. I have spoken to a contact at Jamesons who has confirmed the code on every bottle is entirely meaningless. It is merely there for design purposes.

I've been bugging every spirits expert in the UK on this and frankly I'm a bit disappointed.

paulipbartender

To the Count - mark my words I'll have an answer for you on the Jamesons code forthwith. I've been asking the experts here and they're on the case.

It's really intriguing and no-one seems to know the answer.....yet

paulipbartender

Agreed !

@ 20% abv a few flavours will be unlocked that are held in the alcoholic solvent

paulipbartender

Just been told I should be able to email you a powerpoint pres with loads of pics from the distillery at ST etc soon

paulipbartender

Good review Silvio. We had Santat Teresa in the office just before xmas who gave us a wonderful 2 hour presentation on the Santa Teresa range. I've just texted them to see if they would send me a copy of their powerpoint presentation, which I thought you might like to see.... I agree with you on the...

paulipbartender

Do your posts get more multi-coloured the drunker you get?? :D Sounds like an awesome little drinking mission you're on. For me, I'm in with the little'un and other half tonight so I'm applying some damage to a bottle of Flor de Cana 7, but without any of the creativity you're displaying. Have a lov...

£100 for the treasure chest - it's supposed to be drunk by (pieces of) 8.

London's full of bars - and full of bars manned by friends, who are absent minded when it comes to the bill

paulipbartender

The treasure chest is the real deal - it's a great drink without being notably unique. When you come you'll have to go to both bars. Trailer is great with a really welcoming atmosphere as long as you're not there on Fri/Sat when it can get shoulder to shoulder. The best thing is, our bar is 10 minut...

paulipbartender

Tiki is very cool in London right now. There are 2 main bars - Mahiki is the favourite haunt of the royal princes and all the moneyed set and Trailer Happiness in Notting Hill is one of the coolest bars anywhere on the planet. It also helps they're manned by some of the world's best bartenders. Read...

All 3 of those I've just ordered from Silver Seal in Italy so I'll have to let you know soon. Unfortunately Pedrelli's in Italy which you've linked to, won't export.....but I know a man who can........ I posted a bit aboiut the Silver Seals we got this morning at the Ministry http://www.ministryofru...

paulipbartender

Fantastic, glad you enjoyed it - that's a twist on the recipe that one of our bartenders created. A guy called Liam Davy

paulipbartender

Don't bother! They are expensive and really don't taste that great at all. They are single barrels examples, from different Guyanese distilleries, that would have been blended into fine El Dorado spirits. Individually though they don't stand up at all. Thin tasting and not at all what you would expe...

paulipbartender

The Silver seals are the closest rums we've ever tasted to the W&N 17 year old original. The very very best in Mai Tai's is the Demerara 28 year old 1974, but we can't find anymore anywhere of that. If you find any, we'd be prepared to pay a pretty penny..... The 32 year olds are a little over-aged ...

paulipbartender

To throw off the January blues I decided we need to buy loads of new interesting rums - here's what I've just ordered today; El Dorado 25 http://www.internetwines.com/rws25223.html Enmore 1975, 32 Years Old , Guyana , Silver Seal http://www.specialitydrinks.com/P-7405.aspx Long Pond 21 Years Old , J...

The Rumfest is more of an event than the Lu'au but do let me know if you come to either. I'm involved in both and can make sure a red carpet is laid out
