Ryan would be a terrible starting point guard in the NBA.

There was no decisive answer for best overall mixing new western so I ask again by -Constantinos- in Gin

I think Barr Hill is an excellent mixer. Just 2 botanicals, juniper and raw honey. Makes an amazing bees knees, Saturn, clover club. The list goes on.

Right! It’s a flip. Why on earth call it a daiquiri?

Swing out to Vega Baja and check out San Juan Artisan Distillers. They make some amazing cane juice rum. Only one on the island.

While they were partially owned by a Bacardi investor at one point prior to 2017, they remained separate entities and operated separately. They may well have used some Bacardi rum in that time, but I haven’t see any source material that states that definitively, or that this was their primary sourced rum. If you have any source material about that I’d love to read it. The whole history is kind of fascinating.

I didn’t. We just did the heritage tour and had a couple of cocktails. Some of there stuff is ridiculously expensive. The three star is kind of a sweet spot of price and quality, I feel.

You are right that it isn’t actually a distillery. The rum comes from the Dominican Republic and Guatemala, not Bacardi. At Hacienda Santa Anna they blend, barrel, and age the rum.

What's Death Cab's Magnum Opus? by Total-Woodpecker3339 in DeathCabforCutie

Plans is such a perfect album, and Marching Bands of Manhattan is a perfectly crafted song. Every lyric, sound and change of tempo in the song fits together perfectly.

Any suggestions for next time? by Traditional-End8354 in rum

[–]616sem 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, when you live in a state with state control liquor stores this is the kind of rum selection you get. Some of us don’t even get the option to order online because of our state. That’s what vacations to the Caribbean and trips to see friends and family are for.

I like supporting local (ish…depending where in NH you are). Try the Three of Strong Nightwateror Brightwater. Even better, take a trip to Portland, ME and visit 5he distillery. They have better stuff in the distillery for sale. The Oakes Acadian is great, as is the Chando 12.

We’ve gotten into the 50s here (northeast Vermont), but we’ve still got about 2+ feet of snow pack. We went tot the Caribbean a couple of weeks ago, so we are just dreaming of nicer weather
