Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

JaRiMi do you know anything about the Providence Estate from Trinidad? From Google it looks like this is a Caroni but cannot understand why it is labelled as Providence Estate instead? I was interested in this so I googled and found this http://ultimaterumguide.com/bristol-providence-estate-trinida...

I'm going to St. Lucia for a week and a half in December this year. I'll be hitting up the distillery also as where I'm staying is about 15 min away. The St. Lucia products are not to be seen in this part of NY not even the standard chairman's products. I have had to get all St Lucia rum out of sta...

I was going to make a new thread but saw there's already one. Why don't we talk about these more? It would seem according to the Sugar Tests that all the products of the St Lucia Distillers are sugar-free, giving us another reliable fallback for relatively easily accessible pure rums, alongside Bar...

Putting whisky to one side and concentrating on rum. The original discussion I remember centered around whether rum could be sweet or not. As usual you went off on another tangent and basically said that no rum can have anything approaching a sweet profile without having added sugar. If that is the ...

If you could present the facts which show Appelton Estate add sugar to their rums I'd be very keen to see the evidence. I seem to remember a while ago that any such claims on the Rum Project should be at least backed up with some factual evidence. So far all Appleton's up to the 21 Year Old have be...

I fancy they will be using Glycerine. (I'm looking to order some and then conduct some tests to see how little of it is needed to alter rum) I found Zacapa 23 to be a lot less sweet than DRE or ED12 (more akin to the 15) but nevertheless was still pretty sickly. My last bottle ended up as a pint of ...

I'm gonna take a stand here... Yes and no. Maybe. Pirate and I both know the superior Appletons - the V/X and Extra - tested as pure. But some reasonable "proof" of the 21's likely flavouring was indeed supplied, well above and by me, here it is again: http://www.whiskyfun.com/archiveaugu...

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. In a way, it makes sense : Premium rums are those that often spend more time in barrel and yet for most rum drinkers (and bloggers, especially) extra aging makes rum...

Signed, sealed, delivered

some good news from France i heard from a truthful source that french government (repression of fraud services) is following Finland and Sweden, and should published sugar tests this summer (imported and french ones)... how nice is that ? You should never trust the French they send spies over the w...

It's pretty confusing.

So I have a Silver Seal Enmore Demerara (bottled at 55%) and now I have no idea what still it might have come from! Its limited to 840 bottles.

Anyone?

The Enmore is a continuous still albeit a wooden one, its not a pot still.

It's his group so like this forum he can pick and choose who contributes. He probably could have been a bit thicker skinned with regard The Rum University but I didn't see the post. To be honest a few Rum Promoters and Ambassadors have been quite condescending and rude at times. Considering the line...

Along with Appleton V/X this is the best and most easily available rum in the UK.

£20 is a complete bargain. Good rum to see if people actually get what "real" rum should taste like.

One of the few Rum Review sites I bother with.

Review's some quite scarce rums and although sometimes I feel some of his writing is lost a little in translation I thoroughly enjoy his reviews.
