I went through the discussion topics and was not able to find any recent information about the history of the drink that we find so appealing. Below is a link to a you tube video that is under 10 minutes that I found really almost too informative about rum. I want to make one point. I have absolutely NO affilation to this video. I just thought it was interesting and informative and that from time ...

thanks Paul B.ย for getting back to me. I will try to search out the Frigate 15 year but as I am sure you are aware that in the U.S. rums can really vary widely depending upon location. I have learned even that a mega store like TW they cannot or will not carry the same rums in NJ or DE and they do in FL for example. When I questioned the manager at the NJ store in Cherry Hill, NJ I was simply adv...

If you don't have time to visit a distillery (oliveryoliver.com) then I suggest you drop by several local bodegas that's where I usually find some gems (a lot of garbage as well, well mostly garbage, but the gems are in there...sometimes) just grab a taxi/uber and tell him to take you shopping pretty woman style...

Kevin - they do list the dosage for all of the rums on their website, including the XO at 20g/l. I didn't look at EVERY single one, but the ones I did examine definitely had it listed. Andy - How indicative is a hydrometer test for sugar content vs. other possible additives? Is it more of a confirmation as opposed to something quantitative? I do agree - putting this out there for the consumer is...

in my opinion it is important to have a good glass for sipping rum (same for wine), but there are an infinity of brands around plus you can have a decent glass when buy some bottles of rum (bottle plus glass or two, like the montebello picture that stefan posted) and even cognac balloon glasses are good for rum, so spend to find a rum that you like, the glass is easy to find ......

usually light rum is made for mixing, even special ones (veritas/probita) are light and they are not for sipping but for mixing another category is rum liquor that have 10% or more of sugar, you can sip it with some ice ... but they can also go in some cocktails ... i see a lot of light rums and rum liquors in this site, so when i write a review i can give high rating butย never forget what for ...

1. yes it is a quality product, napoleon means at least 6 years of aging 2. hennessy xo is good, not to be compared with zacapa, it s expensive because hennessy is one of the big 5 cognac brands (with martell, remy martin, camus and courvoisier) and they are (in my opinion ) all too expensive 3.yes it is very good 4.in my country (croatia) i found francois voyer, less known brand but really goo...

A blend of different ages - you might be right. I agree that the volcano story is probably just marketing and applies also to all other products of the brand. I haven't got the time to taste and write a review yet, but will hopefully soon do so.ย ...

Found it at my TW store. I agree with you Paul. It is definitely a good bang for the buck. Although I detected some added sugar, but not much, the blending is spot on. At this price it will be a regular for me at least for the time being. Thanks for this absolutely wonderful recommendation. Arrrgh!...
