It's not worth making a new thread over... I just got back from Sint Maarten... Brought back a lot of Havana club. Down there, they had a "st Maarten rum"... Otter says it was created and bottled in Kentucky. Laughed my ass off.

Sorry. Don't expect a reply to this post. I've asked a similar question in the past, on two different rum forums, and not a shred of insight!

Re: Rum Review: Bermudez 12 Anos Aniversario

Bermudez 12 Anos Aniversario: would you like some rum with your sugar? This may be one of the shorter reviews and the reason is simple: there's very little to say because this likely heavily sugared rum was really quite narrow, ultra smooth and literally smothered. The bottle was an early attempt a...

Haha I immediately thought of the arctic wonder. He's so full of it. It disgusts me how he links to quotes of his own reviews.

Can anyone explain imported rum to me?

Hi all, I initially posted this at "the other place", but didn't get much of a reply. I am really curious about the rum business and how it works. I had always assumed all these neat rums were just the results of people tinkering around with their distilleries. Well, I know some are. But I...

Man, thank you both kindly. I just loaded up the BTI rum reviews at your suggestion and am surprised and happy to see them. And it's great seeing $20 bottles of rum with great ratings.

Blind tastings

Hi there

Has anyone documented any blinded rum tastings? Ie, poored into a glass without knowing the brand, and then tasted and reviewed, then compared to previously published reviews?

Just curious how things would fare out.

Intro.. :)

Hi all

Just a fellow rum lover. Trying to find as many different ones as I can. Interested in learning a lot about rum. Stumbled upon this site while researching some rums. Laughed my ass of at some of Cap's critiques. I'm from the deep south!
