exactly... they are competing against the now-ubiquitous (and quite vile, IMO) Jager Bomb... blech...

I was given a bottle as a gift... have yet to open it, but plan to this weekend...

I love me a rum n' coke... i sure do... I have enjoyed it with Appleton's VX, Bacardi 8, Sailor Jerry, Barbancourt 3 Star... I am bulding my collection slowly but surely

So I was given a bottle of this stuff as a gift. A friend of my wife knew that I was a rum drinker, but knows nothing about rum. Obviously. But, feeling it my duty to always try something I have never had before, I cracked it open and had a taste. What the hell IS that stuff? Later on I looked it up and seems to be the general concensus is that is is CM's answer to Jagermeister. If that's their answer, I must ask: "What the hell was the question?!" Syrupy with some very odd flavor... blackberry, maybe? Not anise like Jager, but that same kind of cough medicine taste...

I had some Pyrat XO, some Cruzan Blackstrap, and some Appleton VX.

so i am curious Ed, did you ever try this one?

Well, I was looking more for "favorite places you may have shopped...." but i never got a chance to check back anyway... So I tried Don Lorenzo while I was there, as well as learned that Bacardi has a distillery there! I had no idea. My 4 liters i brought home (at a considerable amount less than it would have cost me here) were Barcardi 8 Años, Cruzan Black Strap, Barbancourt 3 Star, and Appleton VX...

So, the family and I are travelling to Nassau tomorrow for vacation. It will be our first trip to the Bahamas. I was shocked when I did some checking around that there are no Bahamian rums! Is this true?! Anyway, there may not be any locally made, but I am sure there have to be some Rum Bars or places that have better/more interesting selections than others. For those that have been, anything to recommend?

So the family and I are taking a vacation to Nassau at the end of April. I am assuming the rum selection will be good there, and mostly duty-free. For those that have been, any recommendations on what to do and where to go? Places to eat? Things not-to-be-missed? Keep in mind, I will have the wife and two small boys with me...

wow... that sounds awesome!!!!! now i am hungry AND thirsty...

Hey fred... Pyrat XO is one of my favs, too... My next purchase is going to be the Ron Zacapa Centenario, if i can find it.

What if I just want to attend? maybe even just the Rum Ball... Don't think I could qualfy as a judge, but can I just buy tickets? I am over here in St. Pete and would LOVE to attend...

Amen, brother DERF...

whatever it is... it's worth it, IMO, and the good stuff is good indeed!
