šŸ„ƒ The Rum Thread

Sorry @intiniki

My post wasnā€™t meant to exclude women, it was a homophobic post where ā€œrumboysā€ sounded like ā€œbumboysā€.

Thanks for the clarity. I think.

I may be a lot of things but Iā€™m not a misogynist! I love women. Itā€™s just the gays Iā€™m less keen on. And blacks.

Tickets now on sale!

We should definitely form an attack squadron.

Up for this. I also want the golden tot tokens(lotā€™s of them).

Quorhum 30 turned up yesterday. Itā€™s very drinkable. Will bring a hip flask with me to the Fulham game for anyone that wants to try it.

i have been conspicuously absent from this thread, mainly because I needed a rum sabbatical. Turns out you can have too much of a good thing.

Back on it in feb

Thatā€™s my fault, Sorry.

Try La Hechicera Solera 21(m&s have it).

I normally like the smooth demerara rums. This one isnā€™t, but itā€™s dragging me back again and again. Prunes, expresso and tobacco flavours. Very nice and about Ā£35-40

I am waiting on a delivery of a Brugal 1888 and a Matusalem 23 gran reserva which reads like nectar from the gods ,going on this review.

Nose: Fresh honey and golden syrup. Crunchy almonds. Cedar wood.

Palate: Creamy and rich, with plenty of fruit joining the sweet, sugary notes.

Finish: Spiced and lasting on the finish. Overall: One to savour and enjoy neat.

If it can deliver this, iā€™m in heaven at under Ā£50 a bottle.

Approve is an understatement. I donā€™t think thereā€™s another bottle at the same price that compares. Ā£33 a bottle and itā€™s smooth, rich and leaves an almost peat whisky clean aftertaste.

If anything proves we are an intelligent species, itā€™s El Dorado rum.

Me and the old man nearly had a catastrophe the other day.

The maid was sent shopping for Tanduay rum and came back empty handed ā€œ non availbleā€ she says,

The driver was then despatched to the next city and 5 botttles duly arrived.

Dry throats averted.

That sounds interesting!

Very smooth, a bit too sweet. Needs to be in a rum punch. Not bad for a M&S special
