Slightly sweeter but still has a bit of a harsh alcohol burn

Day 3 in the CB house

Rumbullion is the order of the day. A lovely little spic3d number. My favourite so far.

I remember being at aparty when about 15 or 16 ands raiding the hosts parents booze cabinet… all tehy had left was this… I am sure it wasresponsible for the later explosive regugitation

Like christmas in a bottle isn’t it! Lots of cloves and cinnamon.

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
