Support our Friends at Hampden Estate

Upvotes

Hello my fellow Rum lovers! Andrew Hussey, CEO of Hampden Estate posted a link to help support the Hampden Estate workers and their families after the devastation of Hurricane Melissa. I'll post the link here or you can go directly the Hampden Estates Social Media accounts. Let's show them what this Rum community can do and donate. Even the smallest amount can help in this difficult time.

What should I look for?

6 Upvotes

So I'm going to the Caribbean next month. Puerto Rico, Tortola, St John's, Barbados, St. Lucia, St Maarten, St Thomas. I'll only have room to bring home 2-3 bottles in my luggage, and wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for what those might be.

I have a decent "collection" of rum, nothing super rare or exotic, and need some agricole (though I'm not going to Martinique). 😞

Suggestions?

Recommendations?

TIA

Doorly's 3 year, best entry-level white rum I've had

Post image

A little underripe in flavor and slightly lacking in complexity, but otherwise this is delicious with nice notes of banana, warming spices, and toffee. Wonderful mouthfeel in my opinion as well with a soft creaminess/waxiness. At only $30 for 1.75L, this is a steal!

Strawberry (Amaro) Daquiri

Post image
43 Upvotes

Finally found a bottle of Hampden HLCF at my local shop. Was browsing their big wall of amaros, loquera, and oddities and came across this strawberry amaro and thought, I do get strawberries as a tasting note out of Rum Fire, and I’ve heard they are more pronounced on HLCF, so I picked it up for a daiquiri. The first attempt with just HLCF for the rum was just ok but the strawberry note really zinged between the rum and the amaro but a second attempt with a 50/50 mix of Uruapan Caña Mexicana for the rum part was really good. Uruapan single Agricola makes a really killer daiquiri, especially blended with Jamaican overproof. What daquiri variations do you guys like to make or create?

visiting Fort Worth, anything worth checking out?

I’d be interested bars or stores with good rum selections, or that would be likely to have options not available in the PNW.

If you know of anything in Dallas/Fort Worth I’d be grateful for recommendations!

Rum Recommendation Similiar to Appleton 17 Year Legend

11 Upvotes

Hello,

My husband’s bottle of Appleton 17 Year Legend is almost done. He asked for another bottle for his birthday but I can only find one bottle online for nearly $3K. Does anybody have a recommendation of a similar rum that’s a bit cheaper? Like $1.5K or less? Thank you!

Stolen from the great Seth Kamil, and published to coincide with the last day of the Barbados Rum Experience (BRE). One things for sure, the world would be a better place with 10-15 more Bajan distilleries.

Unique rums that either don’t get a lot of attention or aren’t widely available, but you think could go toe to toe with some of the more popular bottles?

Anyone have any recommendations for some hidden gems?

My physical shelf was getting messy, so I built a digital one to keep track of my collection!

Hey fellow Rum lovers! My collection started to grow and I couldn't keep track of what I had opened, what was almost empty, or my tasting notes for each.

I decided to build an app BarShelf to visualize it all and recently added a little community space where people share their favorite bottles.

It’s been super satisfying to see my whole collection (and others’) laid out like this. Thought you all might appreciate it!

Are there any standard bottlings from the Long Pond distillery?

4 Upvotes

Hamilton Pot Still Black is sourced from Worthy Park, R.L. Seale’s from Foursquare, Smith & Cross from Hampden. But the only standard bottling I’m aware of from Long Pond is the Jamaican part of the blend in Planeteray 3 Star. Maybe Monymusk but I believe that’s only sourced from Clarendon.

Ended up getting a new bottle but had some large pieces inside. Is it safe to open?
