This and captain morgans was my drink of choice when I was younger as that was the only dark rum in the pubs back then. It was only when I went to Cuba aged 20ish that I discovered other rum and then the navy rums were ditched.
We bought a bottle of Mount Gay Black Barrel recently. Too whisky like for my palate.
I cant remember the last time I had any rum at all. Mrs Bucks cant remember what she used to drink with this while on holiday (but it must have been good, prompting a bottle purchase). Suggestions please?
Itâs alright. Not as good as their spiced version. After our conversation the other day you could try it in a dark n stormy (double rum, juice of half a lime plus ginger beer).
My particular favourite at the moment is a corn n oil. Juice of half a lime, shot of falernum or syrup, double rum, lots of crushed ice and a few dashes of Angostura bitters.
Cheers GB! The good news is that we seem to have an (unopened) bottle of the spiced version too .
This might give the impression of an extensive alcohol cellar with lots tucked away. Sadly, home is a modest flat but the rum was being kept at the back of a packed understairs cupboard. The only other bottle I found there is CointreauâŠ
Today we have an El Dorado 15 year old rum, and what a lovely sob of rum this is. if the the quality keep s increases like this day be day, I am going in heaven come the the 24th.
One to two day moratorium called. At the firm piss up tonight and unlikely to want to face booze tomorrow, so will probably be playing catching up on Monday.
For GBâs benefit: I cracked open the Spiced St Lucia Chairmanâs Reserve tonight. Being shittily cold outside I could not be arsed to head out again and buy the recommended mixers. So instead I served it with:
juice of a lime
ginger ale
a dash of Angostura bitters
plenty of ice
and I am pleased to say that I am on my second one as I type
