Rum?

[postman]

It's amazing how Vernon keeps popping up.Bless him.,I hope he has not set fire to Heaven yet.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but Vernon's influence continues to be great. I recently got into rum and Wray is the daddy. I like it but I'm slightly scared of it! I raise my glass to your memory sir.

Wray & Nephew, and similar massively overproof rums, like Antigua's Cavalier 151, always give me a hangover, regardless of how few bottles I drink.

As an aside, it can be good fun to amaze uninitiated onlookers by demonstrating that an ice cube sinks when placed in a glass of overproof!

During my home town Common Riding, Skipper Rum (the best) is traditionally drunk in the early hours of the morning mixed with milk.
View attachment 338921 Now that's given me a notion. Hmmm.

Yesterday marked the anniversary of the start of the "Thirty Drifty Days" snowstorm In 1674; have a rum.

Woods 100 proof navy rum for me.

That's my absolute favourite.

 

[Fab Foodie]

That's my absolute favourite.

The Rum of champions.....

Mount Gay Xtra Old or Ron Zacapa 23 are my choice of rum.

Pusser's Gunpowder Proof - THE tipple of choice. Sippers or Gulpers - depend on how quick you want to get cross-eyed!

Odd how these things threads pop up. Was in 'Turtle Bay' restaurant in Leeds yesterday. They have an impressive array of rums.
We'd taken our son there for lunch from Uni.
'What do you want to drink?'
'Hmm. The tasting selection of rum, please.'
Thats 4 different rums, with a can of Ting and lime slices. Don't think he'd be drinking it if he was paying for it.

Drinking Rum at 10:00 in the morning does Not make you an alcoholic - it makes you a Pirate

I'm looking forward to finding out how that compares with Woods Old Navy.

Me and the wife went to the opening night of Turtle Bay in York.

Free bar all nigh and free food tasters.

Tried a fair few rum based drinks but the rum and grapefruit was my favourite.

Dread to think what it would have cost if we had been paying for it..

 

[Milzy]

Kracken for me.

After a Cuban holiday I got a taste for Havana Club 7 year old. Reasonably priced even ovee here; smooth and tasty. Also got a taste for mohitos, based on Havana Club 3 year old white rum, though the later can go wrong as it does taste like fruit juice
