For the most part you can ship them continental without much fuss. Getting things across the oceans are were it gets tricky. However, I would love to discuss things with you about maybe purchasing some of them from you. ...

I don't have any additional insights to share, other than I wish there was some kind of mark the seal that validated when rums are 'pure' - seems like a lot of folks would like to see something like that....

Sipping Rum?

Posted 18 Nov '17 by Tom ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ | 230 ratings

Depends on a number of variable, in my opinion! Do you want sweet or dry? Dark or light? Jamaican or Bajan? Agricole rhum, Cachaca or rum? Spiced or not? Aged, or not? Price range? Floral or Fruity? You definitely have a plethora of choices as the rum industry continues to provide us with an influx of new rums as well as new distilleries, especially in the States....

+55% Rum, What to choose

Posted 13 Oct '17 by Falcon91Wolvrn03 (PREMIUM) ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ | 562 ratings

I just tried the Ron Esclavo XO Cask, and it is EASILY the best +55% rum I've ever had. In fact, it's one of the best rums I've ever had period, regardless of strength! It's a bit sweet, but that's one of the reasons why I like it so much!!!...

Any good website like "RumRatings" for Whisky?

Posted 5 Jul '17 by Andy (PREMIUM) ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง | 148 ratings

I have always thought about cloning the RR site and launching something for Whisky - to be honest the only thing preventing it is needing a database and all the images cut out for the cabinet. Will have a think about how that would be possible, was tough enough for RR but there are so many more whiskys in the world......

Hello guys! I just keep them away from direct sunlight and havenโ€™t found out that thatโ€™s harming the taste.

Add a drop of water to the advanced options

Just catching up on this thread - I was at a Duppy Share tasting in London when they instructed the group to add a few drops of water after the initial taste. I have to say, for most rums a few water drops definitely brought out flavors I didn't notice before. I say go for a little water - especially if at the end of a tasting it really can't hurt much....
