What Rum/Rhum did you buy today?

I’ve picked up a 15y Jamaican rum today. I opened it up at the store and it’s a really good straightforward Jamaican rum. Not too funky like some of the Jamaican rum‘s, but very easy to drink.

Thanks for posting this-- that’s EXACTLY what I imagined it would be like.

Makes sense though-- a buttoned-up official bottling versus an unbridled independent version.

I thought it had some funk to it but as noted not like some of the independent bottling's. That, and 15 years of aging has some impact.

Was this all tropically aged?   Assuming ITP is one of their lighter marques?  I've always wanted to try Long Pond, this looks glorious.

It is not clearly stated as such but as a product of the National Rums of Jamaica, part owners of Long Pond, and not an independent producer I would think so.

That Les Mangles was really fascinating and tasty!

Bought three different Hamilton single barrels from DDL from three different stills.  Two 8yr and one 13yr.  Should be a fun compare and contrast project.  Should have delivery next week.

Well, how are these rums? I’m a huge fan of Privateer Rum out of Massachusetts, but I’m not familiar with this brand from PA.

Sorry for late reply.  Both are wonderful, mix of Spanish and Bajan style honestly.  Not sure how they stand up in cocktails but very nice sippers.  Finish is long and satisfying.  Certainly not rums I would call interesting or unique but they are good.

I normally am so-so for the Spanish style but rums out of Panama are normally pretty darn good. Let us know what you think.

This just arrived at the LS.  I'd heard it was coming, and glad they set one aside.  Should be pretty tasty making my way through the collection, I've really enjoyed the Hampden products to date...

I don't know a lot about rum, but that sure looks cool.

That’s really special, especially since it looks at the same proof. The individual nuances should really shine. Just wish you could regularly find the different marks like that so you can pick your favorites.

I'm not much of a rum fan, but I like the song.
