đŸ„ƒ The Rum Thread

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.

Today’s instalment is a Don Q Gran Anejo.

Has a hint of bourbon about this one.

Ok help needed please. In the Bucks drinks supplies, we have discovered a bottle of St Lucia Chairman’s Reserve rum:

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?

Here is a review of it

It’s 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 :lou_lol:.

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 Cointreau


Even the sight of that word makes me retch :lou_sad:

Mezan Jamaican XO rum. Blimey this stuff is morish. Just as well they only give you 30ml, otherwise tomorrow would be a duvet day.

Week 1 done.

todays instalment is Trois Riviers Cuvee de l’ocean Rhum agricole.

Now I would be lying if I said that neat this was a good idea. Off to find some cola.

That hasn’t helped. There is just more of it to drink now. :lou_sad:

I am not a fan of agricole rums. Another fine idea the French fucked up.

Last night affair was Sailor Jerry. To be honest I was a bit “meh” about that, however anything was better than that Agricole shite

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 GB’s benefit: I cracked open the Spiced St Lucia Chairman’s 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 :lou_lol:
