Marekv8 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Not sure if this is Foursquare-- but at $7.99 it's the perfect “drinking while mowing the yard" rum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trader Joe's two Indy locations are on the North side. They can't sell spirits because there were already some liquor stores close by when the stores opened. They couldn't get the license.

PhantomLamb Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Sipping the Ron Medellin 19yr while enjoying the view of the Andes foothills at my in-laws. Drinks just like a bourbon just far too weak at 35%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modern release, although with a lower ABV-- was hotter, thinner, and sweeter. Although the delivery on the vintage liquid is very slow and the flavors are subtle-- it's far more complex and satisfying. Any idea on when the vintage bottle is from? I just ended up with the exact same lable in a 750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Yarmouth HM mark usually means about 500-700 parts ester from what I have read. But at 138 proof it is definitely going to be a massive rum in any daiquiri!

That aside, if you have a lust for high ester style, there are not many spirits that are above this one. You will not be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 A 16 yo Zaya doctored with enough 8yo Rhumb Runner Trinidad to bring the proof up to 102 from the stock 80. Sweet entry with a bitter finish— similar to some other marriages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The total esters fit the mark but I suppose they are counting other fun congeners in that total! The highest one I can think of in my liquor library is the 14yo Long Pond TECA mark which is used for rums with an ester total of 1200-1300. This bottle is at 1285.4 gr/hlpa of esters at 124 proof with who knows how many additional congeners! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than DOK and some other Hampdens, not much else I own is in this realm...maybe some Worthy Parks or possible Savanna HERR, but from memory, no.

No, but he did set me up with a double Whistlepig 10 in a “to go” coffee cup with lid for boarding the flight. Good bartenders (and auto mechanics) are life’s true treasures. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I figured 15 year rhum for under $50 is a good deal. Kinda of disappointed. Maybe it’s the low proof but no funk, no wood notes, odd finish. Nice nose but won’t but again. 15 year Barbancourt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I have found Barbancourt 15 to differ from bottle to bottle more than most others. That said, it's pretty different, French oak I believe and cane juice is part of the component which varies by what's on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t ventured into agrícoles yet but if you are comparing that to a molasses-based distillate, the differences are sure to be profound.

I agree they're not first use barrels, but IDK what they previously held. Company was founded by a French family so I'd guess cognac. FWIW they claim it's all cane juice but their has been a little pushback on that point. I think it taste like a mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
