REFINED VICES

Quite so dear chap, quite so. I'm sure it would make a wonderful christmas gift wouldn't you agree?

So, how was it?

I've actually been meaning to write an article about this subject. There is no particular brand you should be looking as everyone has their own favorite brand. A recommendation for someone who has not been smoking cigars very often is a light coloured cigar. What does the color matter you ask? Light...

Did you yourself find any flowery aromas and flavours from this rum?

Quite so. I would hate to have other reviews affect my own. I do read reviews but only before I buy a rum and after my own review is finished. However if I remember some details about that review I read before buying the rum I may look if I find the same details in my rum but if it is not there then...

A fine choice and welcome to the forums Mr Murphy

. Might I also recommend Rome Y Julieta, a tad more expensive but very nice.

Definitely a flowery aroma and taste. Can't say which flower though as I am not a botanist.

Thank you Rum Runner. I have to admit I am a bit disappointed in my experience though because it wasn't such a smooth experience most other reviewers have had. They had described it almost candylike which it was at times but none of the reviewers mention the strong floral tones and that had me consi...

Read the full review of Angostura 1919 on the frontpage. This is a bottle that makes you think you're in for something really special. A uniquely numbered square bottle with rounded shoulders and a big black wooden cork that distinguishes it from a crowd of other bottles. The box itself, that Angos...

I received this link in a thread I created at another forum and I found it interesting and informative.

Interesting. In my hungover state I am unable to think of any "proper" questions but I'd like to know the official version of why they named their product 'El Dorado.' Is this meeting photographed or filmed by the way?

Cheers! I've just finished creating the whiskey section in history and production page. The articles are missing some images so if you guys just happen to have any good images of Highland/Speyside, Lowlands, Campbeltown and Islay I could use them in the articles. Edit: Awards are now in the reviews.

I'd love to get one Cask 1623 next to my Pyrat Planters Gold, too bad its very expensive.

Paul, does Zacapa XO ever enter competitions? I don't think I've ever seen it on any lists.

I don't see a reason why we can't have a favourites thread in the rum section as well if we have one in the whiskey section. With this thread I hope to conjure some discussion about various rums. Currently my favorite rum is El Dorado 15 year old. I like it because of the robust aromas and the compl...

The awards has been created. The Rating System page is still under construction as I am trying to find the proper words how to describe my reviewing methods. I must apologize that I have not reviewed a new rum or updated the site much. Time has been a luxury that I haven't been able to afford this w...

You should be seeing fancy looking medals on the reviews pretty soon. I've finished creating the gold award so far. I'll create a section on the frontpage explaining the rating system as well.

This is alpha one niner, the target problem has been eliminated, over. The creation of the button was easy but it took me a while to figure out the correct lines to add into the code. I've never done anything like this before with html so I am proud I managed to do it all on my own. I'll drink to th...

Moved this topic to Feedback.

There is no such thing yet but I am planning to add a link to the front page from here. I just need to figure out how its done (I have to edit this template to do that).

Edit: I'll try to add a home link tonight if I have time.

Bargain! I'd also like to see the glass.

The link is in the article right below the tasting notes on the frontpage and above the link to this thread. I always include a link to the source in my news post.

You may suggest and I find your reasoning for your suggestion simply excellent. I have once again changed my mind thanks to you and the venerable Lord Neville Crispin.

Sure sounds like it. I recently sent a letter to Khukri asking locations near Finland that sell it. I hope they answer.

Original frontpage post Judging from the labels and bottles, these rums were bottled around 1900-1910, and had likely 20 to 30 years in cask prior to that. It's clear from the packaging that this was regarded as a superb quality rum even at the time it was bottled. This is an exceptional discovery ...

To give more range I've considered: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum awards. Platinum given only to the most exquisite of rums. Although I'm not sure if I should have one more lower category as some products don't deserve even bronze.

The Khukri has been quite succesful in the recent competitions.

Can you notice any Havana Club "remainders" in the taste?

Excellent. I will credit you on the frontpage for this. I'll send my e-mail address to you via PM.

Impressive! I noticed you have some nice vintages there.

Some of the drinks will have been specifically crafted using VX, but in a lot of cases you could swap for Extra. I forgot to mention, the 10 bartenders in our comp will be competing over 6 more rounds including each doing a 10 minute presentation on rums from a selected caribbean island. I'll post ...

Ahh yes Rodney. I always confuse the admirals.
