So, what are your recent acquisitions?

Today's haul, a couple 1.75s.

Kicked this up out while looking for another bottle, if you haven't had anything from old Carter you're missing out. Higher end price tag but worth it in my opinion.

john, are you serious that whipcrack recommended that rum to you? how did you offend him?

not that i have a problem at all with it - reasonably sweeter style and a bit coconutty, but poor steve had to edit out his comments from when i served it to him for a video. most of it ended up in the potplant (extremely unfair, i thought) and he announced that it was the sort of rum he'd take to a 16 year old girl's party. and then realised the utter inappropriateness of that suggestion. 

i have several bottles of their various rums so i will be interested to see what you think. 

[El Presidente]

Dear wine writing genius.

It is a liqueur....and seen/treated in that light, i enjoy it.

Steve...all is forgiven. Enjoy it immensely these days.

It may not be chateau pomposity delivered gratis in the faint hope of a few positive adjectives from a tired scribe in the twilight of his career ......however with a cigar, it delivers

Well, I had mentioned that I had enjoyed Bacardi Carta Fuego immensely to El Pres on ZOOM last week and he suggested I try the Ratu 8 year old, I guess since the Bacardi is hard to find nowadays ever since Dan Murphy's, the large Australian liquor supermarket chain owned by Woolworths, no longer stock it. (How I wish I stocked up a few bottles!)

I will let you both know how I find it. ?

I have never seen or heard of them until a few months ago. A guy I met went to the distillery and had I think a 12, 15, and 21? Maybe a NAS, 15 and 21. I tried the first 2 and fell in love. He was saving the 21 year for his daughters wedding. Is it sold in the states?
