Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

what a great project, wish u success livin it J

if u want to try a true Caroni, and i mean one rum originally fully aged in trinidad (and yes its damn different), you dont have many options i fear : one of Velier's release (their blends of 12 and 15 yo are cheap for such rums) or Bristol Spirits (the 74 and 89 if i remember right, are fully aged ...

the history behind the Black Tot release is not really that clear to me, and i didnt really liked it (the rum in itself). Definetely too expensive for what it is supposed to be, and u can have so much better for less.

im wondering about the new DDL release, what it worth

thanks for the link of Ralfy's video, i barely know the man (not easy for me to understand engllish in video)

Serge's website & work are masterpiece

glad to hear that
i think thats the kind of stuff you love or you hate. Is that the 1st or 2nd batch ?

I've not tasted these at all, but all I have heard is that they are very tasty. Makes me wonder if they are anything like the Savanna high-ester white rum I HAVE tasted, the Lontan? No idea..But for an unaged product the price is pretty high (ahh, of course it is possible to say that it's due to th...

note there are industrial clairin and traditional ones... the link you posted CJ talk about the industrial ones (Nazon and Lakay), which are -to my opinion- really bad ones. You cant compare these with the ones produced by smaller ones (about 500 micro distillery in Haiti). Even if some bad people p...

So Cyril do you think it's a coincidence that such a system is being proposed just as Velier are about to launch a release of pot stilled rums? :wink: It really doesn't take a genius to work it out does it? this system was proposed for years in fact :) i even talked about it with Luca 2 years ago, ...

that classification proposed by Luca Gargano is few years old, it aint that new to be accurate. i find it good for rum as a whole, and for us as consumers. Classify rums by its primary source (molasses or pure juice) and method of production (pot stills, traditional and industrial column) is all rig...

the aim of Habitation Velier is also to offer real r(h)ums at good price.
Richard Seale's one , for example, should be 55€, not more.

that is a great news, because it is great rum, really

agree, 'Seek to understand is starting to disobey'

go with the caroni 15 then

they do ship everywhere no ?
i used to order some bottles few years ago (velier's demerara, albion 83, blairmont 82, skeldon,...)

must buy - CARONI 18 YEARS 1994 HEAVY TRINIDAD (great price) - CLAIRIN SAJOUS (white haitian rhum/clairin, must try) - NEISSON L’ESPRIT BLANCO (70º) : a white agricole bottled straight from the still, 70%, unique and full of aromas and then - BALLY 12 YEARS PYRAMIDE - RON BLACK ROCK RENEGADE - NEISS...

a friend from a wine shop told me the same few weeks ago, the new packaging is blur and i agree with the fact they now may produce younger rums under their 'numbers'. why, if not

marketing will kill us all

this is a tragedy
