I can't even comprehend this particular Rum I pictured being harsh. It is very smooth and sweet. Delicious!

Yeah fairly similar:

The good one...

The others (I have not had)

Any of those look familiar?

UncleWede · 02-01-2023, 11:33 PM

Yeah, it was the reserva exclusiva

So strange! Not trying to push you back to it since you don't like it...it is POSSIBLE the bottle you had was bad. I once had a Dahlmore 12yr a friend bought for me and it tasted...IDK...kinda harsh and I was not a fan. BUT, I am always willing to try stuff, so my dad & I went out and grabbed drinks and I tried the same stuff in a restaurant bar we frequented. TOTALLY different experience! This stuff was actually pretty good, I went home and tried my bottle again and it tasted like crap. I came to the conclusion that the bottle was just bad...corked like wine sort of. Its rare with booze, but it can happen. My two cents on the matter. But hay, we investigated and made sure it was the same rum we were all talking about! LOL

Yeah, I generally trust most opinions on here. Well, except that TXSTYLE guy

Which is why I went back to the bottle after a few months or so, just in case it was a bad mouth day or something. Just couldn't do it as a sipper.

Maybe I can find it in a local bar and revisit, without buying a whole bottle. I'll have to remember where I saw a place that had some rum flights. I shied away from Diplomatico because of previous experiences.

Two weeks ago went to an upper-scale steak house (they think). Happy hour so tried their old fashioned. Wife got on phone to nieces and suddenly were going to Macys cosmetics. “Bartender, make it a double!” I have a couple and then the bar manager comes over to discuss their future tasting club, and pours me a rather generous Pappy 12. I couldn’t appreciate it after the previous olds

Return last night, mouth clean, waited on eating garlic bread app until I got a nice taste, big rock in the middle. Shared with my youngest son and his GF “This doesn’t come around all the time”

Dinner comes, and so does another glass. Then the bill comes at $420 for 4??? $75/pour for Pappy. It was nice to have tried it

Josh-PA · 02-04-2023, 09:03 PM

Made my own limoncello. It turned out really well. Started with a great locally distilled vodka

Jesus...I paid $265 bucks for a bottle of Pappy 23 for my dad! That bottle goes for like 3 grand! Nice to have a hook up. LOL

i’ve not found anything from sagamore spirits that I don’t like. every bottle is a winner. here’s one that I bought last year and have been working my way through…it’s just awesome.

DC2RtoCT9Atof87 · 02-18-2023, 01:07 PM

F’ing delicious.

I certainly hope so for the price. I'm not a Scotch guy per se. But I do keep a few nice bottles on hand. Speyside always. Can't handle the smoke.

Dad's Hat Whiskey. It's glorious.
Also, Faber Gin is pretty damn good for a cheap Gin.

Luckily I got it at retail which was $399

UncleWede · 02-21-2023, 11:33 PM

I helped my baby bro bore some candle holes in a piece of driftwood he/gf found in Carp. I was letting him do some of the work and he jumped the hole and took a bite out my wedding finger

So he gave me a bottle of Dom 2012. Will be enjoying that at cabin in a few weeks, hopefully cooled in snow on the deck
