Sadly no, not to my knowledge - its a case of the server where the stuff was literally frying.RT wrote:I recall seeing on the mor site that the Count recently moved to Australia. Possibly the outage is associated with that move, and is hopefully temporary.

Server down
Spoke to the Count, he stated that the server on which his website refined vices was hosted on was fried.

Rum: Italian Rums - are well done!
The Italian rum scene is very active indeed, and they have some absolutely fantastic small-batch rums which are bottled under the Samaroli, Velier, Gargano labels. I have had the chance of tasting some of these while visiting Rome and checking out some of the better shops in town and must say that t...

Good book, could be even better...
I think Dave Broom has done a great job with his book "Rum", but he too joins the ranks of rumwriters who fail to mention anything about the not-so-well-known-undisclosed practices that take place in some rum producing countries - and I mean the not-advertised-not-mentioned spicing of new ...

There's still today no agreement amongst rum producers on the rules, ingredients, methods - nothing. This to me as a rum lover is disappointing and leads to a situation where as a customer I cannot know what has caused my rum to taste as it does - equally disappointing. That's not exactly a guarante...

I cannot for the life of me consider Pyrat a rum - it tastes more like a orange liqueur than anything else. Is it good? It tastes pleasant, has a nice spiced flavour and is smooth. I would not personally sip it as such, but serve it with a dessert or in a cocktail. A rum...? Well, a spiced rum for s...

Hello Capn Jimbo and others, Thanks for the nice welcome. I have enjoyed sipping fine rum ever since basically reaching the age of tasting it (that would make over 20 years in time) and I have tremendous amount of respect for the spirit, its history, its makers and their skill. Whisky / Whiskey is a...
