šŸ„ƒ The Rum Thread

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 GBā€™s benefit: I cracked open the Spiced St Lucia Chairmanā€™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:

Will not be opening rum tonight - I was all I could do not to throw up at the football. I still have a headache.

very light and subtle

i have opened yesterdayā€™s as well

Woods 100 Old navy rum. Eek.

now my vague memories of Lambs is not great, however this has exceeded my particularly low expectation. Real liquorice notes to this.

So Tonight I am on Diplimatico Reserva Exclusiva

i think I preferred the less exclusive version of this. It is a bit too liqueur like.

Flor de Cana 12yr old Tonight, although I think this might have been wasted as I was so pissed off from the football i skulled it by mistake

Swiftly followed by a Goslings Black Seal

ive actually tasted this one - cracking drop smooth mahogany colured number.

Two weeks in

Brugal 1888 Gran Reserva Familiar. This is the business. Caramel, honey, raisins. A top drop.

I have a bottle of this and agree. Very good.

A bottle of Falernum has arrived at home, courtesy of Mrs Bucks.

I am not sure which is more concerning: that she is fuelling my alcoholic habit, or that she might be reading this forum. :lou_surprised:

The medic came in the office this morning :lou_is_a_flirt:

and said Philippine you have your annual Drug and Alcohol test today.

He could have let me prepare for it by raiding the Bosses safe, of the bottle of Vodka that is stashed there but no, I passed the test and have to come back next year :lou_angry:
