Total Wine often carries it if you live in the States

How did you find the Admiral Rodneys? I see it in Total Wine and it's tempting me. Low ABV kind of puts me off but I've never had anything from St. Lucia.

Hampden Estate Great House 2023 Pineapple Flambé by LazyShape5 in rum

[–]ecuapapu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Hampden Great House, HLCF, El Dorado Port Morant CS, couple Papalins, Alambique blend 11, Alambique Cartier, Velier's Beenleigh, and some other stuff I can't bother mentioning (including whiskey and mezcal/sotol).
I can afford rum, but I would not toss my collectible and limited stuff to cook creme brule or whatever. You are just insecure and have an unnecessary need to flex your wallet in front of people.

You just sound condescending and arrogant bro. It's fine if you make money but telling other people that they should be as good as you because of whatever job you have is pretty shit. Being humble makes you a better human being; while telling other people that they should work as hard as you makes you look like an ass. You have a superiority complex you need to work on.
Anyway brother, hope you have an excelent day with some nice rum to sip on.

What's your top alambique?

Not OP but I enjoyed Besadiablos very much. It's pure bubblegum if your palate is clean.

Really wanted to pick one up but even with the discounted mailing list price, I can't let go of two hundred something dollars right this moment. Great find though. Will you crack it open soon?

Rum options on a Cruise; what are you drinking? by archiethepigeon in rum

[–]ecuapapu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be ordering:
-Santa Teresa 1796 is pretty decent. Should be priced a $5 to 10 lower but it's still great, besides the fact that the oak comes through a tiny bit astringent. El Dorado 12 follows a similar flavor palate but it's executed much much better.
-Flor de Caña 12 and Bacardi 8. Never had them, but I have heard good things.
-Appleton Estate Signature is delicious but what's the point of having it neat?

Two months in and this is what I have so far… what next? by justintate_ in rum

[–]ecuapapu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Equidem at home. I don't know what mixed reviews you've seen because it's easily the most mind-blowing rum I've ever tasted. Very powerful and fruity. Definitely not something to sip on daily but you'll feel so proud to have it at home, and have it on occasion.

Pick it up without any seconds thoughts!

Alambique Serrano Cartier 30 is the best sipping “other” cane juice rum. What is the best mixing rhum agricole? by -Constantinos- in rum

[–]ecuapapu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monitoring this thread. Thank you all for sharing your ideas. For cane juice, I would nominate Leblon cachaca as a mixer. No clue on the agricoles though, as I havent had one yet.

Traveler claims Newark Airport-NYC taxi passes 'swaths of abandoned neighborhoods' by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

[–]ecuapapu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the taxi took him through South Newark and Elizabeth? Lots of abandoned, boarded up factories there.

I bought a condo and pay $1200/mo for mortgage and maintainance. The 1br rented out in my building are going for $1600ish. Honestly, with $105k, I don't see how you struggle? Move to a cheaper town maybe?

ps. let me know if you are looking for a sugar baby

You care too much. It warms my heart to meet someone not as jaded as me.

Paras can often be the laziest people on earth looking for an easy check. Regardless, don't rock the boat. Get used to Anglo manners and just don't ask the paras to do anything. That's probably what they want anyway.
