What Are You Sipping on Lately? (Spirits Thread)

I don't follow this thread, so not sure if this has been mentioned. They make some pretty nice decanters.

Huge difference between Plantation rum neat and Plantation rum on the rocks. Not really that big a difference with Scotch, but there sure is with the rum.

Just discovered that they sell this at a local shop. I know what's on the menu for tonight

Edit: had to change my emoji; matching thumbs-up seemed weird.

Man, all you guys talking about Plantation Rum--I love rum and have been looking for it but nothing yet. I've looked in Safeway, Target and a local liquor store so far. Going to try Bevmo soon.

The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 and a splash. Good stuff.

UPDATE: Gawd this stuff is good. Need to get this more often.

I was sipping some of this cold after graduation Friday. My (adult) niece came in and I pour her a little glass which she downed like a shot. "Hey, this is good shit, you need to sip that!!!"

I ended up sipping two of them. . .

Blast from the past, but I bought my dad a bottle of this as a first try at a sipping rum. It is pretty smooth!

It's OK to make a mistake, as long as you learn from the mistake and don't repeat the offending behavior

I was making a joke in poor taste. My apologies.

That stuff is good luck. Ordered it at the MSG bar on Saturday, and the bartender gave us free ticks to the Cure concert.

Went to Bevmo and they had two different Plantation Rum's. That 20 year is a pretty penny--more than $50 a bottle, so I thought I'd start low and picked up the 5 year. Pretty good--really smooth with some complex flavors. I'm not a real Rum snob as I can drink Bacardi Gold neat. This is a step up.

Top shelf rum seems to be less expensive than top shelf Scotch. I'm really liking rum lately. Maybe because it's summer and rum just seems to fit better.
