Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

Thanks for the invite Capn. We were down for a few days working on our place in New Port Richey. The Zaya isn't to bad. It was over half gone when we left. If we get over to your side of the state, I will look you you up. Think I paid about 25 for the 1919. Love the ED15. Haven't tried the MGXO yet....

You share my 2 favorite activities, rum and diving.

Picked up Mount Gay XO and Zaya at Universal Liquors. The Zaya is good but too sweet. The manager at Universal talked me into it. Haven't tried the MGXO yet. Bought ElDorado 15 and Angostura 1919 at B21 Liquors. The 1919 is on the verge of being too sweet but very good. The ED15 is great. It may tak...

Yesterday at the liquor store I had to choose between Cruzan Single Barrel and the 12yo. Got the 12. Little bit of pepper, little bit of sweetness and a whole lot of rum. Not sure if it's my favorite, but it's definitely on my top shelf.

I will try it with more lime, muddled per your suggestion Jimbo. I like it when a plan comes together. This was a fun experiment.

Picked up a bottle of Seagram's Smooth Brazilian Rum today for $9.10. It has an unusual smell and taste that I have had before but can't quite place. Moonshine maybe? Tasted it straight and with lime and a little turbonado simple syrup. I really like this stuff. Am I crazy?

Been drinking rum for many decades. Finally decided to get serious about it.
