Mount Gay Eclipse, fairly standard but a long-time favorite of mine. I hope it's as good as it used to be.

Yeah I got a deal like this on Revelation in February I think it was. 

 

I would clear the shelf at that price.

I've been on a bit of a buying moratorium lately, but yes, I would too. Though I've been vocal about how much I enjoy this one.

They won't be doing it again, so it's something that's worth padding the bunker with if you enjoy it.

 

Even as a premium cocktail ingredient this rum was a rare opportunity.

Drink some and open new space :)

I passed on these Revelations-- but what a screaming deal.

I assume this is pounds but I’d still buy this and still would happily buy at a much higher price.

Nope, it's good ol' U.S. dollars-- tough to beat as a value proposition.

I figured I’d pile on with everyone else...I’d clear the shelf for that price too!

Has HAITI plastered all over it as a charitable recipient, but the "specs" are making me dizzy…

 

Our flagship rum, Saint Benevolence 5 Year is a blend of hand-selected Caribbean rum made from the highest quality sugarcane juice from the Dominican Republic and sugarcane molasses from Barbados. We used both pot and column distillation methods and age both cane juice and molasses based rums separately in American oak for five years. Blended in small batches and bottled at 84 proof in Riviera Beach, Florida. Saint Benevolence 5 Year was blended and aged with the intent to be versatile.

Just in from Joe at Total Wine, he’s my "go to" guy for all things related to rum and fastidious neckwear…

I didn't buy this (yet) but a friend down in the Bahamas saw this one the shelf. Mexican made rum using mushrooms??? If nothing else it seems like it would be pretty unusual. Anybody ever tried it?

Get the plata, anejo or both? And yes I know the correct answer is both but if he can only bring me one what do I go for? Anejo?
