Big Spender Dept: The Capn buys a Berry?

Post by Capn Jimbo »

You betcha...


Now I need not tell you just how tight fisted I am; indeed, the whole idea of the Project was to promote the idea that there were true, world class pure and unadulterated rums that not only were quite reasonable ($30), but in quite a surprising number of cases even less than $20. There were even some best buys under $10 that were entirely nice, and I kid you not.

Thus for moi to spring for a $90 or $100 rum would have been restricted to a microsecond of utter insanity, possibly to go for a Black Tot, or perhaps a moment or two in which I'd undoubtedly have purchased a fabulous Mount Gay 1703, an "11" if there ever was one.


But...

Lately I came into a little unexpected cash, felt quite good in general and said, and I quote: "WTF, it's about time!" and spent just south of $120 for a Berry Enmore (Versaille pot) 16 Year, and yet another copy of the amazing Bacardi 1909 Heritage...

Two great purchases. Just please, please, whatever you do don't do a live tasting on twitter and please don't use the word "yumm". I have often wondered about Berry's considered a bottle or so the only thing I can get made by them up here is their Penny Blue rum which I have two releases of so far. I'll have to look to online resources if the review merits it. I do have access to Samaroli though. I buy a bottle every time they release a 20% off a bottle of spirits coupon.

The Berry's stuff is excellent, and as I understand it, cheaper than Samaroli (to say nothing of Velier...)
