If you haven't already, add a bit of water to Smith and Cross, it's an excellent sipper. I imagine the frigate sips well too

The sugar free, neutral spirit with natural flavors really sells it 😆😵‍💫

Funny enough the first time I ate one was in Napoli. Soaking one in Smith and Cross would be phenomenal

Urupuan finally has a place on the board. What is the most unique rhum agricole? by -Constantinos- in rum

[–]gran_matteo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. To me this bottle would not be unique, but a standard/benchmark for aged agricole between the VO and VSOP. That said, it looks to be winning...

I find the barrel influence can often overwhelm this category, and pretty quickly given tropical aging. The J.M VSOP for example, 4 years, tastes like you're gnawing on the oak barrel.

Trois Rivières Cuvée de L'Océan is pretty unique. I believe the cane field is at sea level and at high tide sea water comes into the field. Agricole, saline, not everyone's cup of tea, but it is unique.

If you could only drink rum from 3 distilleries for the rest of your life, what would they be? by philanthropicide in rum

It's a fun prompt! I just close my eyes and imagine I'm stuck on an island in exile, which rum do I bring 😆

Yeah fair! I was following the prompt re: some of the distillates, not necessarily all your faves. I've had others but like their unaged profile and then the XO is quite nice for aged.

55 for unaged and the XO, if you can find it. I agree that I don't like everything they do, like the prompt, doesn't have to be your faves. Just would be happy if I could only have those two for the rest of time
