That bottle stopped me in my tracks. I HATE paying 200 for a bottle, this is a really bad boom situation. This is me saying I couldn't help it in this case. It's cheaper than a bad girlfriend - and at least as delicious. And the rum will keep better... OK I'll stop here. Promise me you'll open it this month and tell us what you think. Maybe the Bellevue will float your boat even better. But while those bottles are unopened you are denying yourself the expertise of knowing what those rums are like, which is a big deal. Open these bottles and open your world. Well... I opened it and it did not open my world, it closed it off; closed off like when i opened my first Stagg sr. Now it's all I want when i reach for rum but Ill never have it again if I don't ration it. It's hiding in the back of my open closet with my second to last GTS, taunting me to take for it spin every night practically. I half giggled on the first sip. It's fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, there will be more. Not of this release, but there is a long future for this kind of rum, which will extend past the boom. I'm thrilled you loved it! Thanks for posting that.

HoustonNit Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Picked these up yesterday and today. I haven’t had the Master Select, but I love the Old Cask. Where’s the box for the one up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshleffar Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Bought a paranubes to give it a try. I like agricole, I like mezcal, so theoretically Ill like this... right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Passed on tons of Four Square 2004, 2005, and Premise. Bought an El Dorado 21 as a birthday gift to a friend. I hope she shares a pour with me, I never would buy a bottle myself (sugar!), but I do enjoy the occasional pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least find it interesting. And in the mid $30s for a liter it is also a pretty good deal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely it's own beast, interesting to sip on it's own I've made some nice cocktails with it but I've also made some clunkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBadley Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I bought a bottle of Diplomatico 2002 vintage. I know it has some added sugar- and was really leaning towards not making the purchase- but a deal was made. On opening and trial I actually quite like it. Great balance and complex flavors. The added sweetness isn't (too much) a distraction and it will be a nice variant to the collection. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgalunas Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Bought a 1L Appleton 12 yr at the duty free store on the Canada side of Pembina ND border crossing (I29). Not terribly exciting as rum finds go, but it's a staple... And priced at $23.99 CAN, which is like $18.60 US, can't complain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Picked up another bottle of Smooth Ambler Revelation for $57 today. This is probably one of the best values in rum there is on the market today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 It is such a good value, even when it first came out, that it almost seemed too good to be true. They seem to have gotten a steal for 20+ year old Jamaican rum and apparently have a fair amount of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshleffar Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Sure is, I bunker one about every 6 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to check out some other stores that I don’t often frequent to see if I can find anymore in my area. If not, I’ll be checking shops when I travel to see if I can find a few more.

lcpfratn Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Finally found a bottle of Foursquare Dominus, but it will be awhile before I have it in my hands. Had my sister-in-law and brother-in-law pick up a bottle in Denmark for me after I found it online in a shop over there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshleffar Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I know virtually nothing about the transcontinental rum releases but decided I'd give one a go. Grabbed the 2004 Guyanese full proof single barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Did a little rum shopping at LRP. I already have a bottle of the Foursquare 2005, but needed a backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBadley Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I brought home a bottle of Foursquare Premise from a favorite local. A little overpriced at 65$ but I like the place. It's a slash/bar so it is possible to have it opened and poured. Where else can you buy a bottle and share it with friends for retail bottle price? Very cool and a favorite hangout. Premise has been one of my go to Rum pours recently. Just good stuff. Cheers RW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgalunas Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Visited a Binny's today, found Foursquare Zin Cask for $49.99 and 2004 for $64.95. Left the Premise and 2005 (which I have bunkered and more available). Edited November 24, 2018 by gurgalunas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
