I was in my storage space and I found an old label MGXO...

...for the life of me I don't know when or how I acquired it. But I was thrilled.

Probably going to grit my teeth soon and salt away some 1703s.

Found two bottles of the Old Estate Diamond last month. Saving them for a special occasion down the road.

Was pretty excited to know what I was looking at. Thanks, Rum Project!!!

Update: I've looked in the arrival duty frees in both Gatwick and Heathrow, and also the departure ones at Heathrow, and have not seen any Woods 100 1Ls. When was the last time you saw this Hassouni? Do you remember what terminal? I'd WAY rather buy this stuff by the liter if I could. Truth be told,...

Who knows, Hassouni? But we must be able to mention and discuss the release of an upcoming rum on this forum, that may, whatever the associations, be of use to our group. It reads like his second stab at LH. Could mean a lot to cocktail lovers if he gets closer to the mark. ED151 didn't seem to get ...

Thanks dude. I had to squint and avert my eyes slightly when the receipts were handed to me. But I'm glad I took the plunge.

For those who may be interested, the Preacher is having another go at the 151 with his own Hamilton 151 Demerara overproof.

I'll try a bottle, but finding it will probably be frustrating.

To return to the beginning question, I would choose two of the Berry's.

My favorites so far have been two of the ones not mentioned on your list, the Guadeloupe and the Nicaraguan.

The only one of these that we tasted and didn't want was the Fidjian, which was a bit metallic for our tastes.

Part of the reason I've taken a 6wk hiatus from the board has been to dusty hunt some of Texas and then to check out London's rum offerings, including the splendid Cadenhead's store, of which I am now a loyal and devoted customer. Expensive? Sure. But phenomenal? Abso-freaking-lutely. Being somethin...

Dark rum had a rough childhood, and just can't be happy and positive all the time like the other rums.
