But it IS information. Up Spirits!     5 8 Wed Nov 12, 2008 6:37 am Capn Jimbo And your name again was?? Yes, the obligatory introductions section, but serves a good purpose - like a good, soft toilet paper - used only once but truly wonderful! "Here's to you and here's to me, may we never disagree - if perchance we ever do, here's to me and to hell with you!"     15 39 Sat Nov 26, 2011 1:23 am Uisge Suggestions All suggestions warmly welcomed. May the most you wish for be the least you get!     2 4 Tue Dec 06, 2011 1:18 am Uisge Events and Awards Including details of our Weekly Rum E-Tastings. Join our happy group in tasting rums from home or even from your sailboat. Also important Events in south Florida and Awards from just about anywhere. Speaking of where, Wear Wearever wherever you go!     13 16 Sun Feb 05, 2012 9:07 pm Uisge Crew's Quarters   Scuttlebutt (shhh...) This is the main discussion section. Grab yer cups! All hands on deck!     210 478 Mon Feb 06, 2012 7:30 am Capn Jimbo From Cane to Glass For officers only! Relevent history and facts about the growing, harvesting, fermentation, distillation and aging of Cane Spirits. Master this section and you master rum. Otherwise just masterbate...     18 25 Fri Dec 02, 2011 12:35 am Uisge Rum Polls for All Too busy to register? Even lowly guests - you know, the ones who drop in to steal pieces of my soul, then disappear leaving not so much as a good fart - may participate.     3 3 Sun Aug 08, 2010 1:49 pm Capn Jimbo Barbadian/Bajan Rum Barbados: the defacto home of the original reference classic rum as we know it. God bless the Queen! And Mount Gay!     20 33 Sun Jan 08, 2012 7:43 pm Uisge Cane Juice Rum The third standard reference style: rum, er rhum, made directly from sugar cane juice or honey, rather than from molasses. To the Haitians and French... toast!     24 52 Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:07 pm Uisge Jamaican Style Rum The second standard reference style: aromatic, robust and full flavored - it's absolutely dunderful. To our ships at sea! May they sink very slowly!     20 49 Tue Jan 17, 2012 3:03 am NCyankee Demeraran Style Rum Subtle, soft and medium bodied rums originating in Guyana and that define the fourth major standard style. To our sweethearts and wives, may they never meet!     23 44 Tue Dec 06, 2011 1:12 am Uisge Cuban Style Rum The fifth and last major standard style, the lighter Cuban rums pioneered by Bacardi, who left their facilities and quality, but not their politics, behind when Fidel lit up. Por Cuba Libre!     23 37 Sat Jan 21, 2012 3:07 am Uisge Uncommon Styles Thanks to JaRiMi, one of the very few honest and rum knowledgable experts about - and an advocate of a Trinidadian style. The rum to cause this category: Scarlet Ibis.     2 4 Wed Nov 09, 2011 3:02 pm NCyankee The Galley   Up Spirits! It's tea time ladies, grab yer mugs! Drink it fast or sip it slow. About glasses, how ta crook yer pinkie, nosing and tasting techniques and equipment. May your cup - and your women - be bottomless!     38 73 Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:17 am Capn Jimbo Spiced, Flavored and Postprandial Rums Are these real rums? Is a chocolate flavored Bistec de Palomilla a steak? Maybe. Some are of lower proof. Some use real flavoring. And as for some, may we never drink worse than this!     19 33 Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:11 am Capn Jimbo Recipes and Mixers Rum drinks, rumcake, hot buttered rum, rum glazed ribs, Bermudan rum chowder, rum balls and bollocks. This be the place and it's all good. To the cook! Eat, drink and be Mary!     14 28 Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:10 pm Capn Jimbo The Hold   Twiggie's Tie Dye Rum Is Ron Zacapa a fad? Is Zaya, Angostura 1919 or Pyrat XO? How bout Diplomatico? There's a modern marketing trend afoot and it's toward rum as liqueur. Sweet and easy to sell, er, drink. Here's to Richard Seale, may he never see this section!     17 43 Sun Nov 20, 2011 11:35 am Capn Jimbo Overproof, Black and Navy Rum Now's here's the real stuff - traditional, cleans your socks on the way down. Unlike the Royal Navy, the pirates drank while eating, sailing and fighting - the first multitaskers. Here's to Port Royal, the Port of Orgies! Say it loud and say it plowed!     10 25 Sun Dec 05, 2010 8:20 am Capn Jimbo Cachaça This category practically demanded by member Kevin Myers. Although I'm not ready to give Cachaça its own style, I am willing to accomodate. To Kevin! Be careful what you wish for, as I'll be lookin for some fackin posts now, lol...     10 26 Tue Oct 04, 2011 1:07 pm NCyankee Whisky What is feckin whiskey doing on the net's leading independent rum website? There's a reason, read on, but it's not my fault! Honest...     17 40 Sat Feb 04, 2012 7:55 am Uisge Gin F. Paul Pacult calls gin "...the best of white spirits for cocktails and my favorite overall white spirit." That's saying something. Gin has all the finesse and sophistication that vodka never will. Best yet, true world class gins can be purchased in the $20 range.     3 3 Thu Jan 19, 2012 10:25 pm Capn Jimbo Miscellaneous Spirits Many of the great tasters note that one way to better your spirit - say rum - is to try other spirits. We've already noted calvados, cognac, armangnac, tequila, whisky and gin. Here's some more of the more unusual spirits and drinks. Meade me halfway here, wontcha?     0 0 No Posts To your toasts! I love toasts and toasting. And occasionally getting toasted at one of Robert Burr's events. Here's the time and place to make yours. To the men and to the women - and to those who aren't quite sure!     1 5 Mon Aug 04, 2008 7:58 am Capn Jimbo Rum and Sex Bet you never thought you'd see this one on a respectable forum. But this forum is hardly respectable, and neither is rum! This section is for the forbidden: rum and religion, politics and sex. Here's to Frank Zappa and Catholic Girls!     14 25 Mon May 03, 2010 4:27 pm RT Unrepentantly Commercial Plugs The Rum Project is non-commercial and proudly so. Still occasions arise when a commercial plug is in order. But unlike the other rum bozos, my plugs will be (a) few and (b) deserved and (c) made crystal clear. Live with it.     3 3 Thu Dec 09, 2010 9:02 am Capn Jimbo All times are GMT - 5 Hours Who is Online Our users have posted a total of 1096 articles We have 74 registered users The newest registered user is rummeh In total there are 8 users online :: 0 Registered, 0 Hidden and 8 Guests   [ Administrator ]   [ Moderator ] Most users ever online was 38 on Sat Aug 27, 2011 6:20 am Registered Users: None This data is based on users active over the past five minutes Log in Username:    Password:      Log me on automatically each visit     New posts    No new posts    Forum is locked Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
