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!

And if you can, I really enjoyed the Mount Gay distillery tour and tasting room at the end...

interesting... well, i'll add it to my list..

picked up a bottle this weekend... whoa... it is certainly potent... but at 92 Proof, i guess i should have expected that... after i got over that initial i settled in and enjoyed it....

I am curious, what do you enjoy your rum from? A snifter? A high-ball glass... the bottle?

Pyrat Pistol? never heard of or seen that one...

so... how long a drive from Tampa to Homestead?

I liked the Pyrat XO Reserve...

wow... flashback to 1988... doing shots of 151....

i have not liked any of the flavored rums i have tried other than spiced... mango, pineapple, even peach... not a big fan of coconut rum, either... makes me think i am drinking coppertone or something....

Dark & Stormy? sounds like one I would like to try... what's in it?
