I would be very disappointed to find out that even Appleton would be adding sugar to their premium offerings. They do, but not a lot. EDIT: To chill out some, I admit I do not possess any proof of this, ok? Don't take my word for it, study the situation please on your own. God knows no distillery w...

Re: Exposed: vintage La Favorite "rhums" and suga
Another domino falls... In a spirit of fairness, Cyril states he even contacted La Favorite who he states admitted alteration with an old "recipe" that was alledged to include "spices and natural candied fruits" and all "authorized by the AOC". I was under the impressi...

In short term, by closing business with Velier and Gargano, El Dorado stops the connoisseurs from getting any real Demerara rum - what we will get is the El Dorado liqueurs (which I personally at least would not waste my money on - no need to encourage the makers of liqueurs masked as rum in my opin...

After all the Z rums all claiming 15+ years of aging, this is an eye-opener hopefully to many on the fact that in tropical conditions and with the right rum, it don't have to be aged long (or advertise being so, lying) to be good. Glad to see it was properly reviewed now after my hasty notes trying ...

Got 3 bottles of this through a special order at my state liquor store here in PA. We can't buy any hard liquor anywhere but a state store here in PA. It was $30 a bottle and because it was a special order I had to order 3 bottles. Worth every penny. A beautiful rum that makes amazing cocktails. Pr...

Rum Club discussions...
Interesting discussions at the FB Rum club. As one named Burr linked yet another paid/sponsored article there which announced that "Rum's ready to rebound" (rebound from what?), "the usual suspects" (myself, Cyril, Marco, and a few others) started discussions on how misinformed t...

Zacapa and sugar
I have not been a fan of this rum ever, although I must admit that in the earlier 2000s it was better than it was a few years later when the popularity boomed. Nevertheless it is heavily sugared, fairly thick rum that never really excited me much. What is interesting is the trail of sugaring, and ch...
