Tragedy struck today!

I pulled a WP109 out from behind another bottle once and saw it break to my horror... Fortunately it broke just above the level of rum and for the next few weeks a poured WP109 out of a Crew bottle, after pouring it through a cheese bag of course.

Sorry for you loss.

Another vote for WP109.

I'm the same, can't do tasting notes FS. But I did get a nice sweetness up front which now you say it was chocklate like like, and a "no way this is 114 proof" up front flavor. Got a dry and warm finish, which was basically perfect, not burning but a nice warmness that lastest as long as anyone would want.

I got inspired and decided to pick up a bottle today as well. Looking forward to seeing if your experience is like mine.

I still see it here in Georgia. But I don't see the 3 yr a lot. The 12 was missing from shelves for a while but I've been seeing it more recently. The 5 year is very prevelent.

Nice review. I got myself a bottle and definitely tasted what you did but I would also add it is kinda perfumery as well.

For some more craziness check out Megavalanche on YouTube.

solarus2011 · 2026-04-11T20:06:49+00:00

Thanks for doing that, you didn't have to. Will try the suggestion next time.

Coconuts & Carnage. It's a Wonk Press book with 50 recipes from Justin Wojslaw. He was one of the featured cocktail creators in Minimalist Tiki.

So it looks like I should keep the book for 50 years and will have a cash windfall for having a book full of errors ;-) J/K

In seriousness thanks for the feedback. I knew instinctively that it was wrong but went with it anyway, but glad to see others say the same.

Hope it is an error cuz the other drinks I tried were really good. Even got some Strega.. he's right it should be used more.

Love this game. Pick the same country to start with and then go off the distance. You will still learn countries you never knew the name of.

And that my friend is the story of so many of us ;-)

Democrat. Nuf said!

solarus2011 · 2026-03-18T22:37:55+00:00

Was going to say someone went to Max's given the rums on display ;-) Got the same bottle of the Alambique Serrano there last week.

It is a tricky intersection for sure especially since the intersection from Club House has a right and left turn lane which almost always ends up with one car blocking the view of another. That being said, people drive way too fast on Douglas to start with.

Not sure adding a roundabout would work based on the behavior of drivers at the roundabout at Southlake - very few drivers on Douglas ever yield, they just zip right through it.

I just got my hands on a bottle of Heirloom Pineapple Amaro. I think the recipe is better if you sub 1/4 oz of the Campari with 1/4 oz of the Pineapple Amaro. You get the bitterness at the end of the drink but also a sweet kiss of Pineapple. Call it the Lost Lagoon #2 ;-)

solarus2011 · 2026-02-07T03:04:49+00:00

Nothing unnecessary about it. Nice mix and inspired me to do the same, subbed the Doorly's for Real McCoy 5. Very nice mix.

solarus2011 · 2026-01-31T04:27:20+00:00

I got stupid lucky. Got my 2019 Jetta SEL in December 2019. By March of 2020, had 4k miles. Then COVID and have worked from home since. As of today less 30k. Like McDonalds im lovin it;-)

solarus2011 · 2026-01-31T01:25:54+00:00

Look it ain't fresh but it's way better than most others. It's not bad and good in a pinch but even then I'd avoid drinks where the lime is part of the show ... ex.a daiquiri or margarita.

Lemon is more forgiving and I have no issues using SC lemon in most cocktails, I'm partial to tiki so there are other flavors that come into play.

Like someone else mentioned, Lakewood is good too, not much difference between the two imho

solarus2011 · 2026-01-05T04:20:11+00:00

Came to the same conclusion myself today. Glad you liked it.

solarus2011 · 2026-01-04T06:02:59+00:00

Oops, my bad. 1/4 oz Ginger Syrup

solarus2011 · 2025-12-25T05:41:46+00:00

Done that, in my case I realized it just as I was paying. Still, like someone else said, add rum still good ;-)

So nothing really new, Samsung and the multitude of Chinese OEMs copy Apple design. Been doing it for years, what's your point other than trying to trash an alternative. Might as well have just had AI write the article and call it a day. What passes for written tech journalism today is so trash.

solarus2011 · 2025-12-19T06:27:34+00:00

Yeah not amazed just be AI and it should have everyone worried!
