My inlaws, their friends and relatives and relatives and friends of mine went through something similar in Katrina. One person I know lived in Waveland, MS which was pretty much blown off the map. Fortunately he evacuated to Houston before the storm. They ended up staying with relatives in Memphis a...

How did you do re Irma?

We didn't get much of it here in Tallahassee although the water being pulled out in St. Marks, Panacea and Apalachicola was interesting.

Timber Creek rums

Would someone mind testing the line of Timber Creek rums for sugaring? Timber Creek light rum Timber Creek dark rum Timber Creek coffee rum Timber Creek apple pie rum I'd be curious as to the amount of sugar in the apple pie rum. It does remind me of apple pie and as far as I know the only apple pie...

Re: Hot Tips Dept: Cuban rum for sale in US?

I forgot to make the call, but this morning I got another PM from our informer who stated the site had gone down just hours after my call. Fortunately, my phone's redial function had saved the number, which I dialed and guess what? The number was non-working. I then zipped over to the good old &quo...

I obtained a bottle of that rum as well as a couple of others they produce at the Total Wine & More in Jacksonville. I also saw it on sale recently at the TW&M in Daytona Beach.

Those are nice sea vessels. Wish I could take you up on the giveaway.

Dumb question...do you have a Facebook page? If so, what's it called? I'd love to see photos and comments there as well.

Sadly, neither the TW&M in Jacksonville nor the one at Daytona Beach had any Berry's rum. They did have other Berry's products just none of the rums. The Mezan's they had onhand were ones I already have. I did replenish the Doorly's (got the last 12-year Doorly's at the Jax TW&M) and got two...

Not too long from now I will have the opportunity to visit not one but two Total Wines & More on the east coast of Florida. I plan on replenishing my Doorly's at the very least. Any recommendations of good rums they carry? Not interested in getting agricoles this trip since I still have plenty f...

I managed to snag a bottle (along with the Doorly's Macaw White rum and Doorly's XO) while in Jacksonville a month or so ago. I really like the 12-year and for the price it is a major bargain. Excellent quality and flavor. I recommend it. I am become a fan of Richard Seale rums. I hope to be able to...
