Rum

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Bankers at xmas who are so smashed on coke they piss snow. 12k for a shot is knee trembling even for a millionaire, only these coked up multi millionaire twats would buy that. Did your mate say if anyone had bought some? i would love to know what they thought of it.

They'd sold one shot by the time I was there (January)

I was on Santiago de Cuba all last week on Holiday... lovely

I'd my favourite however is one we drank in Belize.... Hamilton's

 

[dickie davies]

Personally i like 7 year Havana Club , I've converted a few with it.

Havana Club dark 7 year or clear no3

bacardi can fuck off as can spiced shite.

On the back of you two's recommendation, I tried the Havana Club 7 and have to say I cannot distinguish it from Bacardi

bacardi is shite, havana club isn't.

Wray and Nephew Overproof Rum is my Poison of choice, Beautiful stuff!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I haven't drank rum since 1997.

When we were in the bar after work our boss used to like buying a bottle of Bacardi Spice towards the end of the evening, cracking it open and passing it round the table for everyone to swig out of the bottle and pass it on. We couldn't put the bottle down until it was empty, and when it was empty, he would often get another bottle. He bought four bottles on this occasion.

Now this is fine if there are more than a few round the table, which there often was, but the more the bottle goes round, the more people tend to fall over. On this particular evening I had to bail out half way down the third bottle, and about 10 minutes later I was sick through my nose with such force I got splash-back in my eyes.

 

[casserole of nonsense]

I love the stuff, it's the only spirit I drink, but not spiced.

If you are in York, I recommend a trip to the bar at Hotel du Vin. They hold an exceptional collection of rums from all over the Caribbean and Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize etc and a very knowledgable barman.

You're right... it is Appleton's... it's the Alzheimer's...

151 had cake recipes on the back of the bottle it was so strong.. the regular stuff was great anyway

Anything to take the taste of Belekin away

I left on December 23rd I think... right on Xmas in 1987

 

[sir baconface]

Piss

 

[Jazzcat]

Piss

Don't know that one, does it taste any good?

 

[jazzy]

I arrived 16th Dec 87 , there were about 7 blues In total 3 of us in supply, 2 movers.& 2 in mt if memory serves me right. Belikin gold was utter piss

Barcardi is good for brushes ; as for Havana it should be drunk neat with no ice

 

[bluebrickroad]

Savanna la Mar, Jamaica 1972. Bottle of Appletons Estate, 4 cokes and a bucket of ice cost 10 shillings (50p).

Not quite sure if we had a second round.

 

[SiMCFC]

Goslings Black Seal 151, ginger beer, slice of lime... the best.

I only started drinking it whilst in Bermuda and I think it's wonderful stuff!

Out on Caye Caulker it was more for the coke than the Appletons.... mental

We drank a bar dry one night and the only mixer left was American Cream Soda... the bar owner said "I'll go get some more drinks as long as you don't wreck my bar"... we were Crabs not Grunts...

Good times

I was out there for the 10-1.... listened on the World Service.... I was MTSS (SAC then) ... There was a Heavy (GEF) called Gary Lee and at least two Stackers... Airport Camp was full of blues that's for sure...

 

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

Bought a 10 year bottle of Don Papa the other week and probably one of the nicest Rums I've had.

Just had another go at Havana Seven and I'm really not impressed
