Last of the Seale's

Just finished the last of the Seale's 10 year old (how sad) but, no to worry I have another full bottle on the shelf ready and waiting. Can't run out of the Seale's, that's a no no! I shall also be enjoying a Pusser's 15 tonight. I'll be sure to think of you as I'm having a sip.

Speaking of Pusser's 15...

Here in Paradise there are a number of rums that - by far - are purchased more than the rest. Seales 10 is a staple, as is Pusser's Blue Label (although we have a 15 available for special occasions). I'd forgotten just how nice the 15 can be, which is very, very nice. Heavy bodied, deep dark fruits, vanillan and a spicy finish that goes on and on.

We are also never, ever without Barbancourt Five Star (or the Three Star).

I've yet to have the pleasure of Barbancourt Jimbo but, shall be trying it in October at the rumfest in London.

Seales 10 is a staple. Indeed. I've grown quite fond of Barcelo Imperial and the (sugared I know) ED 15.

My Pussers Blue is nearly full so I don't have to face the issue.

Then again there are some bottles which surely won't be replaced - such as Zacapa 23, Angostura 1919 or Plantation Whatever...

I am currently figurring out which rums really deserve a place on my shelf and which are just travellers passing by. Oddly I am considering Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva as a "Rum for guests", too. Some people are just focussed on smooth/sweet/easy and it would pain me to give them something good which they do not appreciate. Besides Diplomatico RE does smell really good - which should only result to a very small degree from its sugar bomb aspects.

To be honest some times we have to make the wrong choices rum wise for all the right reasons, availability, price, Being a connoisuer is not alway's easy, it can be down right difficult.

Old post bump here.I discovered Seales 10 when I was in Barbados last year and brought back 3 bottles with me, but I live in western upstate NY, and the nearest total wine is over 5 hours away, so I am very stingy with my Seales 10, and that sucks cause I would really like to be able to enjoy it more. And while I'm whining about availability, I really wish I could get my hands on some rum sixty six, from foursquare.

It's abit wierd the way ordering on-line works in the States, some states can't get stuff from places like total wine.

Yes total wine will not ship alcohol to me. I could get it from the whiskey exchange but the costs involved make it prohibitive. I'm really kicking myself for not bringing more back from Barbados while I was there, but at that time I was still relatively new to the quality rum scene.
