fishnbowljoe Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Been at it about a year now. I think I've done pretty good so far. I'm pretty happy with what I have. There's a few more I might want to try, but for the time being I'm going to try and empty a few, so I can bunker more of my favorites. But, you never know.....:banghead: Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nor02lei Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I don’t normally expose full bottles, but here is a photo of my Dickel bottles. Unfortunately I don’t have the new 3-year. Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 here is a photo of my Dickel bottles[QUOTE][/QUOTE]Leif, the 3 bottles that are 2nd, 3rd and 4th from the left look like #12 but they have a #10 on them, am I seeing this right? What are they?And the last one on the right, what is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTower Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Those 2 bottles Oscar, I believe are 1986 and 1987 Vintage 10yo Dickel bottles. I had a 1987 and it was pretty darn good. Just stumbled upon it years ago down here.....sitting out the back of a store gathering dust.The bottle on the end is Rx bourbon - export juice....6yo wheater? that is apparently also charcoal filtered through sugar maple charcoal. go figure.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1bomber Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 A few shots of my own bunker. Somehow my favorite-- all my Hirsch 16s -- happened to be pushed to the back, but their gold foil tops can be seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1bomber Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Thanks. Although for reasons I can't quite explain, my 2 faves, Hirsch 16 and Vintage 17 got lost in the back row. I'll have to make it up to them by pouring a dram of each tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillman Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm interested in Bundaberg rum, I know it is a huge brand in the Antipodes.What does it taste like? What is the 8 years old like? Can you give some taste notes?Are they Australian-made? By whom?How do people drink them there (Cam and other Aussies chime in)?GaryP.S. Feel free to establish a new thread for this.

Stones Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hey Gillman Aussie bloke from Brisbane, Queensland here. With regards to your Bundy Rum queries, yes it is a huge brand here. Their ad campaigns are quite good too - type 'drop bear' into uTube for a laugh. This rum is quite nice really, made from sugarcane, but may be an acquired taste for some used to finer dark rums like angostura's and appletons. I don't drink it anymore but when younger it was one of a few popular choices. If you want a comparison it kinda tastes a bit like coruba rum, some will argue this and some will attest to this. It is Aussie made by Bundaberg Distilling Company in a small town up in North Queensland of all names called Bundaberg! Coke is the most prefered mixer to put with it, although my grandfather drinks it with milk! eck! It must have great preservative qualities as he's pretty old and still kicking and drinking the stuff 80+ on. Hope this was a little informative! Cheers Tym.

Gary, We sent a Bundaberg Rum Triple Filtered bottle over....ask Dawn what it's like :puke: and she's a rum drinker! Scott The 8yo is a yearly limited (limited to 25000000 bottles by the look of how much is around ) release which replaced the old "Bundy Black", which is now on ebay for horrid sums. The 8yo sells for about $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
