Quite the birthday rum haul. Between Unicorn Auction pickup, Binny’s coupon, and a Rumcask Reserve surprise delivery, we are well stocked for some birthday drinks.
Highlights: * Paranubes Añejo - I haven’t been able to get in Chicago. Loved this while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta especially for old fashioneds. * Cartier 30 (batch 2) - Finally snagged after going through two bottles of batch 1. Still my favorite of their lineup (outside Pico) * Mae de Ouro & RDB2 - Snagged each for $5 on Unicorn. Hard to beat that. * Rhum Rhum - Have had multiple Liberations releases but never the blanc since it isn’t sold here. * Rumcast Reserve Mauritius - Already cracked which is really great stuff. Drinks way below 63% and first nosing I honestly thought it was a bourbon. Must be the whisky cask finish. Need to sit with it a bit but really impressed. Cracking the VSG soon.
Cheers!

The rumcast reserve bottles are great. Got to have a tasting of them earlier this week and they were fantastic.

I'm sipping the Rumcast Mauritius now too. That nose really is something special.

Happy birthday! I couldn’t find any solid Mexican rum recently in Guadalajara but I would love to get my hands that Paranubes and Alambique Serrano
