oh shit that looks good. i like the dark rums

british navy = ghey

when i first drank rum i drank it with TAB!!!

EW

I KNOW!

do you like the goslings black seal?

we had pusser's once i can't remember how it tasted; i just laughed about the name

okay, we're going to try that appleton tonight.

no. i need to buy gosling. is pyrat good?

that pyrat isn't quite as dark as it looks in the picture, but it's a pretty good one.

the packaging cannot be denied, though. i'm a sucker for the swank.

i wasn't too taken with the appleton last night. it was fine but not great. come to think of it, the cockspur didn't really do anything for me either. what is going on?

jesus, am i going to have to start drinking bourbon full time??? makes me feel weird just to say it.

Zaya: inchoative verb form meaning flat, as in

Extraña, esta soda del club es zaya.

you're joking, right?

Pyrat Cask 23 review

can i both hate foodies and get into reviews like that?

booze v food

damn i wanna try that ron zacapa 23 like right now

do it!

and then report back.

found that ron zacapa at $38 a bottle (klwines.com) + shipping which is actually a little less than i thought it'd be.

you tried it yet? doubt my local spots will have it. probably have to make a trip to here

haven't had zacapa, at least not to remember. maybe at a bar once.

what about that el dorado? have you had it? the word demerara scares me. i'm curious if they all seem like poison, or if it's lemon hart.

^or if it's just lemon hart.

we bought a hell of a lot of rum this last couple of days.

i had bacardi gold 2nite :------------------(

yow

from the back of the mount gay barbados sugar cane rum bottle:

Homage to the Cane
With sugar cane having been for so long the lifeblood of Mount Gay, and, one might suggest, of Barbados as well, it's fitting that a great rum should commemorate its qualities. [...]

Consistently smooth. Full-bodied. Unique. A homage to the cane.

i do not think i appreciate Rogue Hazelnut Spiced Rum.

it might be good in banana bread, but it's not good with soda and lime.

aw that's too bad. thanks to jj anyway

oh yes, i should clarify: i appreciate the gift of the rum. it just doesn't work in a rickey.

j passed along the suggestion of making a dark and stormy with it. we should try.

tonight i am going to enjoy some rum, but i don't know yet what kind. options in the cupboard are:

rogue
mount gay
cruzan light
barralito
cockspur 12
flor de cana 7
lemon hart
cachaca

flor de cana

flor de cana it is!

Cruzan Amphitheatre formerly Sound Advice Amphitheatr West Palm Beach, FL

as corporate sponsors go, i approve of this more than most

it's someplace tropical, so it makes better sense. if only the drinks were cheap. you know they're not though

also amphitheatre morelike assitheatre

yes. amphitheatres more like armpittheatre

LOL like actually out loud!

hahaa

sea wynde more like i'd rather pee in the wind and try to drink it

ok it looks nice but not 13$ a snifter nice

fuck a unsubtle 'wynde'

Sea Wynde is an astonishing marriage of five pure pot still rums from these countries.

seems fucked up that they'd have to combine so many. what does that say? ONE BARREL

need a reggae song about one barrel

these countries are jamaica and guyana which don't even touch

rum defying the laws of geography

you can't make it yourself why you gotta fly it in?

and then mix it? it's like they don't believe in themselves
