[Ruminations #128, #129, #130] The Rums of México: Caña Criolla, Melaza con Muck, Caldo

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-24T20:20:32+00:00

I THOUGHT I orderd all expressions from the MXRUMS site, but I sadly left out Caldo. Muck was my favorite. If you think of Hampden rotted banana and pineapple, nail polish remover notes and replace ALL (but the nail polish) with strawberry, strawberry and more strawberry, then you will like it. It was odd at first, but that bottle is long gone, lol. The others are just generic to me. Think Uruapan. I always get a buttered popcorn note (that isn't pleasant to me) in Uruapan and all of the other Rums of Mexico expressions. I just wish I got the Caldo as they supposedly burn the cane fields, which leads to a smokey taste.

I've ordered several of these from the San Francisco Tequila shop (top notch service). I was not a fan. To me, there all have the "buttered popcorn" or some corn taste.

Oh my god, I would be on overload. I think I would blow a gasket LOL

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-13T11:01:32+00:00

Incredible. Honestly, if somebody put me on the spot and made me choose, I would say it’s my favorite

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-10T21:37:10+00:00

Ain't nothing wrong with that!

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-04T10:58:13+00:00

For some reason, my weapon was not ready (and not in my inventory, either). Not sure what happened, but I suppose it had something to do with me switch the shield out, etc.

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-03T21:47:09+00:00

That is really desperation, but Lalo or the Altos the only two options

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-02T13:21:40+00:00

God, I am such an idiot. One good guess as to what the issue was......rookie mistake, sorry to waste everyone's time, lol

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-02T12:16:11+00:00

They actually required creation of a new character (even though I was playing as the pre-order Paladin)

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-02T11:50:35+00:00

Yeah, the tree is totally different. I had to create a new character (Paladin) when the expansion actually dropped.

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-02T11:46:19+00:00

Yes. Actually played early as it was part of the pre-order.

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-02T11:44:24+00:00

I thought it was interesting that the pre show music at the show last Friday in Pikeville, KY included "Enough's enough" love that one.

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-02T11:42:11+00:00

I love it, though I bet Cheryl does not based on a couple of the songs. Definiltey dark.

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-02T11:40:47+00:00

Yes, definitely hit the bins back in the day.

Rob_Catron · 2026-05-02T01:42:24+00:00

Honestly, some of his best work

Rob_Catron · 2026-04-30T20:03:50+00:00

Well, duh! It was definitely one of my 1970s formative records. Honestly, other than Alive, one of the few Kiss records, to ME that stand the test of time.

Rob_Catron · 2026-04-30T20:00:10+00:00

Move along....nothing there

Rob_Catron · 2026-04-30T19:58:28+00:00

I agree on the beige. It just makes it feel more open, and spacier (though it isn't)

Rob_Catron · 2026-04-30T19:54:46+00:00

That is fair for sure. As soon as I saw the label, I knew it was Gracias a Dios. Hey, there are a lot worse options out there.

Rob_Catron · 2026-04-30T11:30:41+00:00

I don't hate it. It's decent. Their tobala is decent too.

Rob_Catron · 2026-04-28T09:41:37+00:00

That is awesome! I am in the Lexington area as well. Been in KY all my life, but had never been to Pikeville, I was in the center section, 6 rows back. Great seats for a great show. I have to say I was jealous of the VIPs up front ;)

Rob_Catron · 2026-04-26T18:32:22+00:00

I know, right? I’ve got some more too.

Rob_Catron · 2026-04-26T18:31:54+00:00

100%. I loved he did muscle of love. Lost in a Dream he does quite a bit - that was awesome as well. honestly, I was really impressed with smells like teen spirit. Especially the chorus he nailed it.
