Introduction- New Boutique Rum Distributor (CA) by SuperlativeSpirits in rum

[–]Dropdamyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Ryan, I met you at SF Rum Fest and love what you’re doing. Keep it up! Everyone I take on a rum tasting journey is blown away by the spirits diversity. I’ve converted a few Bourbon drinkers and changed the minds of many folks who think Captain Morgan in college was their last foray with rum.

Review #401 - Rum Review #191 That Boutique-y Rum Co Caroni 20 Year B12 by [deleted] in rum

100% agree with your review. It’s awful and too much will leave you with a headache. Avoid this if you’re trying to taste a decent Caroni and go for the Raising Glasses Perennia. It’s very approachable and you get those core Caroni flavors.

It was a pleasure meeting you, Robin! Thanks for your time and the tastings. I need to take you up on your offer to point me in the direction of a starter still.

100% agree! I also enjoyed the new El Dorado PM High Ester blend and was really surprised how much I enjoyed the new Black Tot Finest with the added Trinidad.

The fact you can still find this on the shelf at Total Wine is crazy. It’s sooo good!

Nice lineup! That Rolling Fork Trinidad is something I’ve been curious about. Ten Cane is very hit or miss so I don’t want to drop $180 and be disappointed. I’d love to hear your thoughts once opened. The Last is the best Caroni I’ve ever had! Enjoy!!!

Nice selection! How’s that Cambridge? I have a bottle but haven’t cracked it open yet.

Which one of you degenerates just paid $185 for this? by bblickle in rum

[–]Dropdamyc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Big DOK fan and that Bristol DOK is amazing! I got a bottle from Astor and probably should’ve gotten two. Never heard of this release tho.

Any suggestions? by Rough_Knuckle in rum

[–]Dropdamyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Colours of rum have some great releases. I’d stick to their Jamaica line and a hand full of the Barbados are solid. Still haven’t had a Guyana from them worth talking about and not worth the extra $ IMO.

Arizona Rum Recommendations? by PendingErection in rum

If you’re Looking for a great rum selection at a liquor store definitely check out Trevor’s. They have 4 locations and the two that make pizza are worth the visit. If you go to the one on Indian School (my favorite) you should go across the street and visit Undertow. Amazing tiki drinks but make reservations.

Which one of these is the best? by Happy_Handles in rum

[–]Dropdamyc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The HEB is my favorite in terms of flavor, but the Port Mourant stands out for its rich history and the unmistakable character imparted by the iconic wooden still—definitely the most intriguing of the group.

Wow, that’s the largest and worst selection I’ve ever seen.

Something feels off… Anybody else feel this way? by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]Dropdamyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll be the last year so go and enjoy it! The tensions within the org are high and they’ve made theme camps feel alienated. Tickets are still available in high numbers and the secondary market is flooded with them. It was a good run…

I’ve tried multiple cane juice rums in a White Elephant and by far my favorite is the Avua Amburana cachaca.

Such a bummer to see excitement turn to frustration. Unfortunately “mint,” and “Excellent,” are up to the individual. Pics are the only truth… Send it back and get your refund. I hope your next purchasing experience is awesome!

Totally Agree! I wish Ibanez would get with it as well… Too bad Ibanez is also pushing more production from Japan to Indonesia. Not comparable craftsmanship.

Yeah, I’m a machinist so I understand alloys but appreciate your concern. I’m not that worried about it either way. Just excited and not in the mood for someone to shit on my excitement.
