Vote up as I feel for youā€¦ but you need enlightenment as that feeling of dread would never happen with a Single Malt advent calendarā€¦ just the joy of discovery. Head over to the Malt thread, you would be welcome as we are needing to recruit - we look like Billy no mates over there

Doorlys 12yr old- cracking Barbados rum. Really smooth and a fuck ton better than the last couple of days

Only 6 to go. I donā€™t whether to be sad itā€™s coming to and end or relieved itā€™s almost over.

Anyway, in my glass we find a rumbullion navy strength, all 57% of it.

i enjoyed the normal rumbullion, and this one has all of the great liqueur flavours but with more alcohol heat. Lots of it. Great stuff, but pushed to choose a bottle to buy, it would have to be the regular version

Just opened a Appleton Estate 12 year old rare* blend.

First sip, itā€™s ok but not for the same money as a El Dorado 12 year old. Iā€™m getting a slightly burnt and harsh after taste, that leaves me wondering if it has been mixed with bourbon(doesnā€™t mention bourbon casks, just Oak). Itā€™s confusing me, but not in a way that would make me consider it a good buy.

Anyone else tried it?

*nothing rare about it if i can buy it in tesco.

ā€˜Rareā€™ that someone actually buys it? :lou_lol:

The after taste predicts it will be less than rare from here on in my house. Imagine expecting your 25 year old Laphroaig and getting teachers.

Ā£33 for a bottle thatā€™s only fit for mixing. Iā€™ve been done. Suppose i should have known better than expecting tesco to supply a good rum.

If the 25 Laphroig is like Teachers, i will be weeping for a long long time - I will report back after its opening on Christmas day

Rum No. 20 is El Dorado 1993 Enmore rare collection which is currently retailing at Ā£180 a bottle :lou_surprised:

Anyway it is fabulously rich, although at 56% had me running for the water. If this was normal strength, it would possibly be the best spirit I have ever drunk

Itā€™s funny how your gift has moved you around the rum world. Top present. Well jealous.

Like sailing the seven seas?

I only really got into good rum a year ago after a trip to Grenada, hence my penchant for Westerhall. The Ayatollah thought that this would be a (relatively) cheap way to try lots of different rums. Now to start building a collection.
