I picked the Caroni up locally and quietly, trying not to tip the LS owner off. Roger that, will keep you in mind next time I'm in Louisiana .

Yes-- interesting bottles will show up on the rare occasion, but most of my rum comes from New Orleans, Hattiesburg and New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy, thanks. New Orleans does have several good options and they're getting better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepCover Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Bought it today and drinking it now. Houston Bourbon Society pick, no dosage. It’s quite good. I’m thinking about picking up another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnewberg Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Local group was included in a barrel pick for Holmes Cay with a couple other groups... Novice when it comes to rum and first venture with HC but it sure is tasty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Not really a rum drinker but at dinner for our 35th wedding anniversary on Saturday night we got to talking to the manager of the restaurant about bourbon, etc. and he said he wanted us to try something. He brought us two glasses, one with a cream and one a darker brown color. I nosed the clear one and got toasted marshmallows, orange, creme brulee, brown sugar. Sipped it and it was very flavorful. He said it was Bumbu Rum. Poured some of the cream version into our French press coffee and it was also very tasty. Found a bottle of the rum at our local Kroger W&S on Sunday so I picked it up.

More dark dried fruits than fresh, even some green apple and pineapple jumps in ... Kinda gives a prickly mouthfeel on the palate and is a great switch up from bourbon... Proof is fine and I am happy I grabbed two. Edited May 19, 2021 by jnewberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
