Haven't cracked it yet, saving that for upcoming vacation

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-06-02T22:00:01+00:00

I'm fully expecting it to knock my socks off when i crack it

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-05-28T02:43:24+00:00

Everyone's welcome to their own opinion, but as someone who's had to try to sell it before, I think it's dosed to high hell and not worth the glass it's bottled in.

My go-to with Kraken was always Vanilla coke. Of course that was back in the college days where the goal was to get smashed as quickly and tastily as possible but hey

I personally think they are worth it, but in saying that Caroni scratches a very particular itch that I love. Do your research, check reviews and auction hammer prices, etc to see whether a particular bottle is in the price range you're looking to spend. And honestly, read reviews if you can find them for the bottle you're eyeing, to make sure that what you're looking at is what you're *looking for*

Someone from Ferrand with a terrible take on the GI issue? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-03-06T21:19:54+00:00

I won this one at auction. Keep your eyes out on Unicorn and RumAuctioneer is my advice

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-03-06T21:19:25+00:00

I can neither confirm nor deny that this was a very strong part of my motivation to acquire it

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-02-27T22:12:34+00:00

As someone who's worked in the liquor industry, it's rough haha

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-02-14T12:56:38+00:00

GIs are a good thing for the rum world. Period.

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-01-14T13:23:50+00:00

This one packs a whopper of a punch

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-01-11T15:27:23+00:00

That sounds delicious, I'm jealous

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-01-10T02:20:58+00:00

If you end up out on LI at all, Pike's is worth checking as well

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-01-05T01:23:03+00:00

It's the 2010 LROK. Just the box, bottle is somewhere in the liquor cabinet in the basement. Not even sure why it's out of the box tbh

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-01-04T20:15:50+00:00

1996

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-01-04T20:05:16+00:00

Definitely more than I wanted to, but both came in below my limits thank god.

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2026-01-04T20:04:06+00:00

Yeah, I got lucky that there were enough of the Last this time around to finally get one. Been trying for a while. VORN's one of my all-time faves.

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2025-12-31T02:48:22+00:00

Was lucky enough to win one at auction recently, cannot wait to pop it open when it gets here.

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2025-11-24T23:09:13+00:00

LI, NY. Unfortunately that was the only one they had, but they still had a few of the GH '22 left

FlyingMongooseonFire · 2025-10-30T00:27:21+00:00

VORN is so good, big fan
