Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

Does this mean they will stop selling rum to IBs? That seems unlikely. Take a look at the Annual Report of 2011 on Page 13 in the following link. http://demeraradistillers.com/pdf/DDL_AnnualReport_2011.pdf They want to increase their share in the bulk-trade. But with the new Multi-Column still comm...

I think DDL has proofen that they are resistent (against learning). They have not learned a blessed thing from Luca, but a damn awful lot from Plantation. Anyone who is arguing that such sweet rums are helpful to convince beginners to rum should see the fail in their theory right now. Some of this b...

I can't explain it as well. If they utilised their history / stills they could easily capture more markets... but they seem to be afraid to meddle with the eldorado sweet rum concept. will they now continue where Velier has stopped or do they consider that these releases harm their main product? I ...

Is it true that Velier will not bottle any more Guyana/DDL rum? It is true. The partnership has been terminated. Enjoy this Blackadder. It is one of the best Versailles (VSG) rums I do know. It has a very good maturity and is imho better than this one from Berrys (different style). It is a shame th...

Since Mika quoted me I feel urged so say something to this topic. First off: The last known vintage to me sold to the bulk made in the Versailles Single Vat Still was 1996 . That is now 19 years ago. I have no exact date when they dropped the sold in the bulk but it does not seem to be a new decisio...

I might now risk of getting banned but I don't agree with Mr. Seales statement about the dosage and Plantation Rum. The mere fact that Mr. Gabriel was hiding it until he was exposed by ALKO makes him untrustworthy like the rest of this 'fine establishment'. Period. I am not aware of a statement of h...

At the time of writing I was convinced it 'could' be a rum from Mr. Seale. But that review was a long time ago and by now I highly doub that this 'fine' 15 YO is one of his. But the truth is: It's tasting so unnatural that you can't be 100% sure. I have bottlings that were unaltered and bottled by s...

I have taken down my old blog-site and I want to apologize for the misunderstanding. I have also corrected some mistakes. In order to defend mamajuana i will quote the information which led to the false assumption: - Alambic Classique Foursquare 6 YO (2000 - 2006), 45% vol. - Baltic Runner Barbados ...

You are referreing to an old site of mine, sir. The Plantation 1991 is coming from W.I.R.D.. The Foursquare Distillery was founded and established 1996 if I am not mistaken. This site is old, has many mistakes and will not get any updates. If your conlusions only coming from this then I will get it ...

I need convincing.

Then nevermind my comment please. Get the rum(s) of your choice and make your own experience. Seriously.

Skip the Mezans and take the Cadenhead. The latter one is worth its money.

I guess all the efforts gone to waste. Ralfy did the review the same day with the Savanna. Look at the blackboard behind him. It still shows "4 Days!" to the vote for Scotland, which is in fact today. The number is the same in the Savanna rum review. I might be wrong but thats what it look...

I did. Two bottles of the bottling "Samaroli Barbados 1996 - 2011". I will never forget the ugly nose and taste of these rums. First I thought only one bottle was spoiled but then I openend the second one and my day was ruined. This was nearly 2 years ago. You could clearly notice it on th...

Well I can't say anything about this 7 y/o rum... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0iMldV3D4mk ... but if you reach 11:14 nearly at the end of the video then he reveales the next rum to be reviewed. Guess what it is guys. Oh and a yeast strain that produces a sweet rum? Did...

Ministryofrum and rumhowler as good websites? Dear Lord...

... I feel the need of a dram after that one.


I don't know about you guys but I have made the experience that many whisky-drinkers haven't a clue when it comes to rum.
