Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

My wife and I love JWG...even better than the Blue IMHO.

Unfortunately, the only one I have access to is the 2004 and I have to order 3 bottles of it. I am probably going with the Jamaican 2000 first and then get this about a month from now.

The Mezan one was exactly the one I was looking at. Thanks.

I see some options on my state liquor store website for some rum from Panama. I never had anything (that I know of) from that country and was wondering what style of rum that is most associated with them. I know that any country can make any style but which style are they most associated with?

Now continue your argument against "authentic rum". Please go ahead you all clearly know far better than him! Caramel is added to the majority of commercially available rum. People wouldn't buy rum that looks like piss and they would be suspicious if it was a different shade everytime the...

Also..I think it is fair to note that the notion that the Real McCoy is colored is coming from the Fat Rum Pirate and not from The Real McCoy or Foursquare. For all I know, FRP could be wrong.

I have to agree, "completely unadulterated" is a pretty strong term to have to walk back from. The issue here is not what effect any colouring has on flavor, but rum being sold as something it is not. All they would have to do is remove the claim; I think most people would agree that is n...

Caramel is added to regulate the colour of each batch. Nothing more nothing less. Perfectly legal and a practice Seale often uses. It's been stated on this forum enough times that it doesn't change the flavour of the spirit....now we are trying to say otherwise. I think I'll leave you all to argue ...

The Real McCoy has caramel added solely to colour the spirit it adds no flavour and it is well within any regulations. But being withing regulations really isn't the point. They say *completely* unadulterated. If they are adding color, then isn't that adulterating? It doesn't say anything about fla...

The 12 I have is also from Foursquare (I've almost had it confirmed anyway) however its aged for most of its 12 years here in England rather than in the tropics. However, that is not the only reason for the difference in colour between the rum and Real McCoy 12 - for the American market caramel is ...

Bummer...I can get The Real Mccoy 12 for $50 but the idiots at the state level are making me buy 6 bottles. rofl Sooo...I have some decisions to make. Just to let everyone know why I am doing this... I am a volleyball coach and my season is now over. Every year I allow myself a treat with my volleyb...

Any thoughts on these? Worth the ducats? All opinions welcome. http://www.finewineandgoodspirits.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SpiritsProductDisplayView?level0=null&level1=&level2=&level3=&level4=&catalogId=10051&storeId=10051&categoryId=null&productId=1690548&lan...

Unfortunately, I can't get them where I live. The only one I can get is a very young Worthy Park white rum. None of their other rums.

Ok folks...in the words of my beautiful Caribbean wife "You does be da expahts". So here goes my question... I have really been enjoying Smith and Cross rum. I love the huge fruit, caramel, spice aroma and the heavy, rich mouthfeel. From what I have gathered here, that is due to the high e...

Eddie, no one is going to make fun of you for mixing the fine rums.

Oh, I know that. I make those comments with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek.
