Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

Welcome to the Rum Project! In Particular, mainly Pure rums and research regarding these and tasting notes. Exposing fakes or frauds or defective rum bottles/brands, and false advertising. I'm going to assume you are the same mamajuana from the MOR forums? I know from your posts there that you are a...

Speaking of scripts, this entire thread could be made into a movie Betrayal, court cases, friendship lost and friendship found. Only thing missing is a car chase.

It turns out we were all wrong, the golden age of rum has only begun : From Just-drinks.com : http://www.just-drinks.com/comment/comment-spirits-is-the-golden-age-of-rum-upon-us_id115583.aspx Long touted as the natural successor to single malt whiskies, premium and super-premium rums have yet to mak...

In the case of rum, I have a similar outlook as Dai: My first premium rum was ED21, which although I enjoyed at the time (I have moved away from the ED line lately, finding anything above the 8 yo as too sweet), I thought it wasn't worth 3x the price of a bottle of ED12. We are lucky with rum (esp. ...

http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=42581&hilit=Maple+Syrup Sugars- It is generally 1-2.5% Added brown sugar to get ferment So is really Maple syrup flavoured rum if someone were to draw a massively long bow. My first thought about this was : "WTF, that isn't rum" ...

Remember when enjoying pie and whisky meant eating pie and drinking whisky separately ? Well, that hell is now over thanks to Diageo : http://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2014/11/diageo-releases-pie-flavoured-canadian-whiskies/ “Many people remember that feeling you get when you first taste Grandma’s ...

The Screech rums are added-sugar free (except the Honey version, obviously). The main Screech rum is a blend of Jamaican rums from the Appleton Distillery, if I'm not mistaken, and is more than adequate as a sipper (especially at a lower price point here than Appleton Reserve). I was surprised that ...

Following the recommendations I received here, I tried the 3 star last evening and I was pretty happy with my purchase. I had always assumed a 4 year old would be too young to enjoy as a sipper so I never gave it a second thought. Boy, was I wrong! It's very good and will do nicely until I can resto...

Welcome!

Interesting read! I would just like to know who first looked at a beaver's anal gland and thought to himself :"I bet that tastes like raspberries!"

I love the 5 star, it just has a great balance with just enough sweetness and heat on the end to keep it interesting sip after sip. I would add figs to the list of taste descriptors, or am I just imagining something? Also, I'm not one to usually mix cola with rum, but Dr Pepper and 5 star is really ...

You can pretty much divide rum drinkers into three categories : 1. Those who don't know about the widespread use of additives in rum 2. Those who know but don't care because the end product tastes good (read : sweet) 3. Those who know and care and prefer unaltered rums or at the very least, some tru...

If you have been drinking any of the altered, sugar added rums, a pure rum takes a bit of getting used to. But trust me, you will and you will come to prefer a real and pure rum. I think most people do indeed start with the more altered rums, although in my case I was never a fan of the Zacupa o' s...

My experience with Flor de Cana 7 is remarkably different than that of most (all?) reviews I've read. I had bought a bottle after reading all the praise and it's seeing it's low (well, for Canada anyway) price. In terms of aroma, I could only describe it as a Sharpie marker. Yes, it smelled just lik...

I've always been jealous of the offerings from the indie-bottlers in Europe. It's near impossible to find any indie rums (maybe bc most of Canada is under govt. controlled liquor monopolies?). It bothers me that I can't get access to more limited bottlings, especially now that we are aware that most...
