I've eyed this off @ First Choice many times, but have finally bought a bottle. It is a typical vanilla/caramel heavy Caribbean rum, which I really like. It has a certain "creaminess" about it which reminds me of Ballantines 12yo scotch. Maybe I just drink too much for my own good.

Had a nice whiskey journey through DC and tried a few new things this week. Also had a small share and pair with some friend from DC and I have to say the Kissing Cousins I brought was the best of the lot!

Looks like I'm switching to Tito's vodka b/c gluten free. Not b/c I am going gluten free, just b/c it's obviously healthier than the other vodkas I drink so why not?

I went to a beer and wine tasting gathering tonight. A colleague of mine has been brewing beer for a decade or so. He's super talented at it. His IPA is worship worthy. He and his wife recently returned from Napa and they brought back a bunch of wines and a case of Pliney the Elder IPA, which is rated as one of the best. I agree it was very, very good, but it wasn't noticeably better than my friend's home brew IPA. That's how good his is. I had one of his double IPAs and an oatmeal stout. Both were superb. I'd consider home brewing as a hobby, except I'd gain back all the weight I've lost if I took up brewing.

Grab a bottle when you can. I have the 12, 12 CS, 15, Lustau and the 21 yr, this one is my favorite of them. Although I haven’t opened my 21 year bottle yet, it’s reserved for a special occasion.
Cheers!

I have a bottle of that on the way, super excited. My brother found one and grabbed it for me, hope to meet up with him and grab it over Thanksgiving.

If you like it colder just put the bottle in the fridge or freezer instead of diluting IMO.

Room temp, with water only if desired. Never ice. That would be like taking a fine red wine and chilling it to 44C. Destroys the aromatics, which comprise much of the flavor.

If I'm drinking rum, it's over ice. Scotch/bourbon/whiskey is room temp. I usually add a splash of seltzer and that may or may not be chilled. Depends on if I remembered to put a few cans of it in the fridge ahead of time.

Also - how hard can a wine fridge really be to figure out?
