Love the dress up! I haven't tried the original, but I'm really digging this one. To me, it has like a rye type spiceness - which I typically like in all whiskeys.
It's fantastic! Totally get that spice note, the higher proof point definitely amps it up. It's a cool bottle and we hope it stays in their core lineup. So glad you like it and thanks for watching!
The XO in the UK is around £35-£40, and the 12 is £45-£50 at that price I would buy a single malt every single time. The smoke and mirrors in the rum world regarding age (and in many cases lower abv than stated on the bottle) seriously puts me off spending on it.
I tried this for the first time this evening because a local supermarket had it on offer for £25. I have to say I was very impressed. I'm a casual Whisky drinker but I found this to be far smoother than the likes of Jameson (and I like Jameson). Or even Chivas for that matter in this price range. The Irish are pretty good at this.
Not sure our tastes align so that’s slightly disappointing. How you can’t see the quality in Barbacourts rhum it’s way better than the comparisons you made imo.
As an American who's lived in India for 6 years, I recall buying a 375 ml or so for less than 10 dollars in Bangalore. Considering that at 750 ml of Jack Daniels or even Evan Williams is 70 dollars at the same place with all the taxes or whatever added, this makes for a very nice and cheap and actually surprisingly pleasant alternative and one I had a decent time with.
Your 1908 date is wrong. Doorly's Rhum comes from a time when the Scots Highlands spoke the Irish language, and revolted from English Hanoverian rule, under the Bonnie Prince Dundee and the Bonnie Prince Charlie, from c1688 and c1714. It was then a time of Doorly's Irish Whisky. My partial archives are mostly lost in a fire at Mercy High School apartments Jan 2021. The Jacobite War against King Geordie Whelps, was lost by those "followers of King James I and James II" (Latin: James, aka, Jacob)" and their Bible. At least one of the Jacobite Doorly's, probably Martin, was deported to the penal colony of Barbados, and was freed, when he invented Doorly's Rhum, from his earlier Irish Whisky. This is proved by the blue hyacinth macaw on many Doorly's bottles, the same blue hyacinth of the Jacobite Army and Political party, aka, the blue bonnets, and the Jacobite allied Spanish Sherry casks. In earlier times the Highlands were allied with the Spanish Empire. This is known by some similar names from the 1850s when my ancestor Martin Doorley was US Harbormaster of Milwaukee, and Ensign Orderly of the Milwaukee Union Guards, and Wisconsin State Militia. Jordan thinks that a lot of Doorly's Rum archives seem lost, just like the archives of Spanish allied Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson.
Someone in the comment section said they find it in central FL for $29. For $29 perhaps it’s closer to an 8/10. For $50 I’d say it’s closer to a 7/10. Perhaps settling for somewhere in the middle makes the most sense. 7.5/10
First, you guys are drunk.. Second, it’s a great mixer. Also, there is a vanilla flavored option which in my opinion works really well with coke... I’m not sure if one would say your sense of liquor taste is better if you drink your liquor straight… If it appeals to you straight, great… If mixed is good great…
I bought a box of the metro maduros thinking it was the same Nat blend. Well its not, and I was initially disappointed but, let them rest in the humidor for 3 months and revisited. Im happy with my purchase now. I think it pays tribute to the original.
Im glad you enjoyed this one. If you guy get around trying this again, try it chilled and with fresh lime juice. Its a game changer. Thats how me and my family have
My nearest B&M lounge is almost an hour away, but CD is very much my online lounge, I love their deals and whenever i have an issue, rare though they are, its solved super fast and your right Tom it feels like your walking into an local B&M even though its online
