I was just browsing The Whisky Exchange today and I noticed they are selling Plantation St Lucia Rum. This is something I've never heard about in the plantation series. I also noticed they have Plantation Grenada Rum. The official Plantation website does not advertise these products so that got me thinking if they have any other Plantation Rum products they do not advertise?

I find it odd they don't update their website to keep us up to date.

The plantation series are vintages assembled by a French collector. As vintages they are only available for a limited time.
We've got the St Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, Jamaica and Guyana - none of which are outstanding to my mind. The better range is the Rum Nation range, bottled in Scotland available from Royal Mile Whisky http://www.royalmilewhiskies.co.uk/.
My hot tip is for anyone to lay their hands on the Rum Nation Guyana 12 year old. Pound for pound the best spirit I have ever tasted.....but in short supply

I've had my eye on the Rum Nation rums for quite a while now, haven't seen much conversation about them though. They seem like an interesting series. A german netshop is selling a few of these rums: Rum Nation Jamaica 1982, Demerara 12 year, Nicaragua 15 year and Panama 18 year. The Demerara 12 year old is the most affordable of these though the last two are only 7~ euros more expensive. The price seems the same as on Royal Mile Whiskies.

Buy the Demerara as soon as you can. It's incredible, I really can't recommend it enough

Fair enough, it is on the list of rums I need to get. I don't know how soon I can place an order though because it isn't worth ordering just one bottle. To make it worth I would need to get atleast 5 to 6 bottles (shipping costs). I'm looking for a friend who might want to place an order with me so I wouldn't have to buy that many bottles alone.

I could get through 5 or 6 bottles of the Rum Nation Demerara 12 in a week. There are always takers when that gets opened around here and I'm always game
As I can't get anymore around here at the moment, you could pick it up for us and then pop over for a session to drink it!?!

It is not the amount of bottles I could go through but the total price of all the bottles. I have not yet won a lottery so at the moment I have to consider where I spend the precious money I have.
What comes to your suggestion about popping over, well that is a splendid suggestion and I will have to take that suggestion one day.

I think I've said it before, you would be welcome with open arms, and the arms of the London bar industry would be thrown open as well

For those who happens to live near Denmark, here is a link to Bjergtroldens rum list:paulipbartender wrote:Buy the Demerara as soon as you can. It's incredible, I really can't recommend it enough

Welcome to the Gentlemen's lounge Tiare, though we do welcome ladies as well.
Bjergtrolden seems to overprice the rum quite a bit (over 50 euros). Spirituosen superbillig sells this rum for 30 euros. What does the delivery cost from Bjergtrolden, Tiare? (I would find it myself but I don't understand the language).

I think spirituosens prices are pretty reasonable if not cheap and the delivery is about 20 euros in europe. I'm considering placing an order for three bottles in february and hope they arrive for my birthday.
Nation Rum 12 years Demerara
30,85 EUR
The Nation Rum is definitely on my list so I will need to choose 2 rums from these unless of course anyone has any other rum recommendations from Spirituosen Superbillig:
Barbancourt Rhum 8 Years
28,95 EUR
Doorlys XO Rum Barbados
29,95 EUR
Mount Gay Extra Old Rum Barbados 1 liter
32,95
Ocumare Anejo 12 years
33,95 EUR
Barcelo Imperial
29,95 EUR

How would you describe Barbancourt 8? I read Scottes Doorlys review and it sounds pretty good. Also they've lowered the price of Doorlys by 9 euros now.

I decided to get the Barbancourt. I figured I am not in haste since I still have a lot of unreviewed rums, I can get Doorlys next time. Did you get your Doorlys in a metal tube?

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 and the packaging not hideous

I haven't received the package yet from Germany. It will take some time even after I've received it because I have to photograph the products for the reviews before opening them. If I'm lucky I'll get it next week before wednesday (provided there are no problems with the customs).

Doorly's XO, without a tube, is $19 here at Total Wines. Barbancourt 8 is a few dollars more.

My grand haul of Mount Gay XO, Rum Nation Demerara 12 and Barbancourt 8 has just arrived! There were some complications with DHL that delayed the delivery about a week but I am glad they are here now. What also makes me glad is that I didn't have to pay any tax for it which means the hooch will taste all the more delicious. Now ahead is the painful task of photographing them for reviews before I can open any of them.

And therefore I conclude that Carthage must be destroyed.
