Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

What is this "extra" i read about? While we have a decent rum section at the store and stock Appleton products we have no Extra. V/X, 12 year, and Special is it. And the Special is not even listed on the Appleton website. I don't think it is for sale in east TN. So what's the deal? *******...

I had six customers tonight who specifically asked for a rum recommendation to make rum cake. I about sold an entire row of .750 Appleton Special for this purpose. I even bought a bottle so the warden could fulfill her promise of making a rum cake for me to take to work Friday. The good news is I am...

I always taste it neat, like I said first drink was right from the bottle. I know that is not the standard way for tasting though, LOL. I prefer my beverages cold, liquor especially. Just my preference. Bottom line is that my money is too hard to come by and I doubt I would buy another bottle of Pri...

So i bought a bottle of this rum tonight. 34.95 on the shelf, with my employee discount I was OTD at just over 30.00. As I examined the bottle the first thing I noticed was the color.

Then one day while restocking the shelf in the liquor store I immediately noticed the washed out color and of course i...

Unfortunately I have never met Phil. I have met and drank with his son. In addition to their rums they have a product called Sweet Lucy Cream. He sampled me with it. Heavenly stuff, but I am not so sure I can drink it regularly. If you are looking for a Bailey's type product I would recommend the Sw...

I dunno if this post belongs here but here it will go. Canadian is my go to spirit if the rum section of my home bar is unsettlingly (is that a word?) low on rum. My basic thought on Canadian is that it is all simply whisky flavored water. But it is easy drinking, mixes well with ice and water or ev...

Hi my name is Mike (duh). I am a fan of rum, love the taste and best of all it has an ample amount of that one little ingredient that makes me like it. I became a rum junkie when we lived in Boca Raton. My wife would always pick up a bottle of Appleton's Special when we had a hurricane warning so I ...
