Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

I'm getting: "The requested page could not be found." Maybe you have it cached? Can you try in a private window or another browser?

Up until sometime last year, I was able to get it for around 27 USD and it was a great deal. Now it's 44 USD and they lost me. There was also a bottle and label change which usually is not a good sign.

All right! Even without the exact measurements this description is helpful. I think the two smaller ones are in the ballpark even if slightly bigger. I'll be on the lookout in my thrift store visits, as one never knows what can be found there! I don't have a copita but agreed on the Glencairn: proba...

So it seems Lemon Hart 151 is back. I've spotted it recently at a local TW. Did anyone else see it and try it? Can you comment on how it compares to the original?

Hi Capn! I just wanted to thank you for the rum tasting glass recommendation I found in the Rum Project's "Tasting and Glasses" section. After trying a bunch (Glencairn and others) I went with your suggestion of a balloon type wine glass. You were completely right about it: somehow the tas...

I'm wondering the same...

Great to see you back, Capn'! It's been awfully quiet here for a while. Looking forward to more chatter in these forums.

So I finally got around to buying the equipment. Ebay, of course. The 100 mL cylinder is fine but the hydrometers... well, I'm sure they're OK but they won't fit inside the cylinder! Crap! They would probably work in a 1000 mL cylinder but I don't have that much rum for testing! Bonkers! Does anyone...

Hi! I just came across El Dorado 21 at an unusual price. Like 50% off: https://i.imgur.com/OzcvVlh.jpg but it's not on sale. Seeing that they usually go for $100 or more, are they dumping those? Or is this the new price? Seems like a bargain but then again, all that sugar... El Dorado 12 was my firs...

I've seen it show up recently in one of my local stores and am thinking about going for it. However, the original review is from 2012 and I have one question: since we know MGXO has been changed from what it was (and not for the better) did the same fate befall the 1703? Does anyone know?

Thank you! I think I'll get them as the information I have indicates that they are from before Cruzan quality went south. They may not be the greatest but they should be OK and I'll have a chance to try something that is no longer made. And I'm pretty sure it will make the liquor store owners happy ...

Please check the pictures (I included the link to the album as I couldn't get the picture embedding to work; please let me know if the link works). Prices are $15.99 per fifth and $28.99 per handle. Unfortunately no Estate Diamond. I wish they had it and still searching for it. I also was nowhere ne...

Hi! I'd like to do some sugar content tests on some rums. I read the hydrometer information in the "Sugar Tests" sub-forum. Are those Ukrainian sourced ones the best ones without breaking the bank? I asked around on some other forums I frequent but nobody could recommend a source for quali...

I think I saw some old bottle Cruzan. Is it worth getting?

You had me at the "Arrr" :wink:! I've been a lurker here for a while. Came across this site after I finally decided to dive into the world of rum overcoming my anxiety which was due to my total unfamiliarity with it, as in: where do I start or do I start at all? Then I decided to just go f...
