Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

I just had lunch at a nearby grill and beer place (Eureka!Burger), and while waiting at the bar for my lunch I noticed 2 Pappy Van Winkle bottles on the top shelf. The young man behind the bar informed me that there were 3 bottles of Pappy, the 12 YO, and then the 15 and 20 YO Family Reserve. With n...

Good choice, Bear. I've enjoyed the (now standard) 12 YO RedBreast for the better part of a decade since discovering it early in my whisky/whiskey education. Although I have not had it yet, I have heard even better things of the 12 YO CASK strength RedBreast which came out recently. My other option ...

Very interesting, but your supposition was in error, mon frére. :D I found the aromatic/flavor wheels more interesting ...not that triple distilled Scotch was not interesting as I knew Auchentoshan was one of if not THE only triple distilled whisky East of Ireland. For me, and especially after visit...

The Glenlivet 12 YO is a benchmark Speyside for the reason of what you experienced, it IS a lovely, simple and consistent dram. Not heavy, rather light, floral, a hint or smoke that one has to search for, and still satisfying. On my 1st trip to Scotland, 'lo over 10 years ago now, a stop was made at...

1st world problems, eh Mike? Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

I wouldn't mind having such problems, either!

Be honest - can you overcome your own prejudices? On some things, no. Especially something that, by US statute, is supposed to be "odorless, colorless, and flavorless". But I believe I've stated my opinion on that before. But I admit to having some prejudices, such as besides vodka, I kno...

Oh, and fix in your list Belleit to Bulleit, that's another of my "must stock" bourbons

I am not 'fighting' with NY I am discussing a point of view. My argument is that if one truly values high quality, honest and reasonable priced spirits then these anti quality high profit firms must be avoided at all costs. Even if it means a slight self sacrifice. A small pleasure now could be cos...

Cap'n, with all due respect, the version you (and I) have is the standard Great King Street. http://sa3.wine-searcher.net/images/labels/23/64/10422364t.jpg The Great King Street New York version is very limited and not readily available to us outside of The Big Apple, and using the "free" ...

Great King Street New York blend here for $69.95 :shock: https://www.forwhiskeylovers.com/sites/default/files/styles/uc_product/public/store/great%20king%20streetny_large_0.jpg ******* Capn's Log : which is exactly why, as much as I was interested, I didn't but it until, that is, that I found it at ...

And I'm not talking about "Bacardi", either. What I AM referring to is "bourbon", and other than the mention of Pappy Van Winkle, which is way out of my price range and is way too rare anyway, there doesn't seem to be any interest in it on this site? Or am I mistaken? I've had t...

What John Willy sez, well played, da'rum, well played!

Cap'n Jimbo for the WIN!

Sorry if I was too vague for you, da'rum
