Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

Ah the Seale's 10 wonderful stuff I have a bottle opened shall doing some this weekend. If you get a chance try out the The Rum Sixty Six as well. Tried it all the rumfest good stuff as well. Can also recommend the real mccoy 12 that was nice stuff as well, another product courtesy of Richard Seale...

Brilliant (as always), if biased view of the issue. Of note to me, his citation of wingsoverscotland.com aka Jimbo does politics: Of course we're just idiots with a website and nobody should listen to OUR opinion about anything. and his social contrast of Scotland and the Isle of Man - if true, thos...

I remember a great Nat. Geo. article many years ago about exploring the Nepalese highlands and the (ahem) interesting affects of the butter which was a blend of yak milk and hemp seed! Hmmmm! Tasty coffee - both stimulating and relaxing

Multiple issues: Glenmorangie 10 is a great "well" malt. Consistent, inoffensive to almost all. Hence the best selling malt in Scotland. All spirits, wines, etc. suffer crappy years - live with it. The international, especially Asian, led by Japan, now add China, demand for malt is far bey...

Outstanding point BT! Although, with good coffees, I find that they give up their brighter, more aromatic tastes early, then move to the richer, more fruity flavors later. My ideal is a cup that makes me smile across that full range of temperature. That's not to say that I'll throw out a good Sulawe...

The police riots in MO remind me too much of the Chicago cop riots @ the Chicago Democratic convention, and even earlier Selma, Montgomery, ... I had hoped we had turned that page. Not sure of the soure, but: "The role of the military is to defend the people from our enemies, the role of the po...

Cap, I can't offer a great deal of advice here - even though my BP would appreciate a lower caffeine intake, the ones that I've tried tend toward the thin and bitter. I hope yours is better - I like the idea of going half-caff. For the decaf portion, it might be good to go with a fairly neutral coff...

I can name the stream, but I ain't tellin'

JaRiMi, please put on your old guy glasses and fracking read what I wrote - your response simply echoed what I posted. Is what Jimbo quoted from you any different from my more expansive: Yep, different stills, different barrels, different seasons, different years - blending those into a well-balance...

Like jarimi states it's about the variables Yep, different stills, different barrels, different seasons, different years - blending those into a well-balanced whole is the blender's job. Doing that master task and creating a consistent product is a fine art. To do so with product from multiple dist...

Just an observation: if you're going to drop a mortgage payment on a bottle of wine, what is it? Probably a Burgundy that has spent 15-20 years in a cellar for 12-20 years (depending on mortgage) at constant temp & humidity. Hmm...

Rum is always about the master - the blender - not the distillers and/or agers. Big corp will never get that, hence quality will continue to decline. Richard Seale: train your children and apprentices well - craft rum may be as rare as original Williamsburg (VA) houses. (OK - for our Euro friends, W...

Austin. I'd cover it - Houston, I'll go for Sanibel! The snook should be in the surf now!

I'm cheap - SW from ATL, room and registration. I'll figure out how to scrounge up computers for the kiosk and cover printing petition copies and.. what I need, a database/spreadsheet of the official sugar content measures of those rums that have been tested, which I will include as a a handout with...

Wow - Euro regs are clear and unambiguous! Enforced about as well as the US regs!
