Cheers, friends. We have threads for bourbon and Scotch, but sometimes we reach for other liquid delights such as Cognac, gin, or rum, so I thought we might post about those on this thread.
Tonight I'm enjoying some Plantation Original Dark rum. It's a 'double aged' blend of mostly Barbados rum blended with a small amount of long-aged Jamaican rum, and it is fantastically delicious in a very rangy way. It's got some interesting funkiness to it that I've never encountered in any other dark spirit. It's smooth and great on ice, and I would put it up alongside many whiskies in the $30-$40 range, quality-wise, but it can generally be found for a mere $20. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it; I suspect you'll thank me later if you do.

I'll have to track some of that down. I like a snooter of rum every now and then and the bottle I bought years ago is nearly emptyPuff nstuff wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 8:39 pm Cheers, friends.

Snooter! That brings back memories. Around the holidays families would make the rounds to have a "snort." When company would drop by, dad would ask, "can I get you a snort?"Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 10:12 pmI'll have to track some of that down.

My dad would use that term 'snort' too, for what I took to be a quick, straight pour of (usually) whiskey. He liked Bushmill's, Glenfiddich, and various bourbons. I miss my dad. ❤Wildcat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 10:48 pmSnooter! That brings back memories. Around the holidays families would make the rounds to have a "snort."

My heart goes out to people who, for whatever reason, can't say the same.
I'm 56 and I miss my folks and my grandparents every day. My Pa, mom's dad, passed when I was 11. What an impression he made on me in such a short time.
indeed.
