      @Jett129 the bourbon I'm having tonight is only 6 months in pinot barrels but it's fairly smooth without being overly sweet
      Not quite bonded strength but 47% has a satisfying bite

        @goosehd IMO it's always worth looking at Plantation Rum. There is also one from Jamaica.

          @endo Good recommendation. We once had a Guatemala XO matured in ice wine casks from Plantation. Really nice

                    @endo that’s down right purdy right there. If it tastes half as delicious as it looks you’re in for a wild night!

                    In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                      One of my favorite activities…boot care and whiskey drinkin

                      This bottle was a gift from one of my students families on the last day of school. Good people!

                      Also, prepping my boots for the wedding. Then packing them up for the trip!

                          Thank you for the recommendations for rum. These are the two we picked from the duty free on our way back home. There were so many that we wanted to try and bring back home that maybe another trip is in order…🙂

                              Wray is some good stuff. Not for sipping imo but great in the right drinks. It's got a bunch of funk too which is useful in splitting your rum base in any cocktail you want to make more interesting. Eg, use a clean column distilled lightly aged rum like a flor de caña 4year and Wray to make a killer daiquiri by using 1.5 and .5oz, respectively.

                              Here are two of my favorite ways to use Wray besides mixing with Ting. If you can't find Ting, I feel like Squirt makes a suitable sub.

                              Nuclear daiquiri: 1oz Wray | 1oz lime | .75 green chartreuse | .25oz falernum

                              Bikini atoll: 1oz ea Wray and lime juice | .5oz ea green chartreuse, falernum, orgeat, and Curacao | Mai Tai garnish

                                @pechelman Every local I talked to and hung out with recommended the Ting and Wray’s…they said nothing started a party quicker 🤣

                                The daiquiri recipe sounds perfect and I will definitely try it. Thank you 🙏

                                @Jett129 I hope it is rocket fuel and will keep me warm and dreaming of the Caribbean on those long winter nights.

                                I’m also very glad my days of stupidity are behind me where I would have drank the Wray’s for an evening and not had the common sense to take it easy…🙂

                                  @goosehd I was drinking a drink called a Jamaican Kiss which is Tia Maria,Cream and Wray and Nephews. My girlfriend was getting them from the bartender because I was tooo drunk to walk. Meanwhile the bartender thinks the drinks are having no effect on her and keeps making them stronger. Jamaican weed was involved as well. It wasn’t pretty.

                                        That sounds wonderfully refreshing. Would be great too with a splash of soda and/or some lime.
                                        Starts to make me think about making a Hemingway daiquiri with Wray and a bit of grenadine instead of the marschino liquor....hmmm.

                                        Has anyone else played around with acid adjusted juices?
                                        Been working on one cocktail that my wife's dubbed the "Electric Painkiller" that adjusts the orange juice to lime that's completely ruined us for any other painkiller.

                                          @pechelman It kind of tasted like a rum punch…and thank you for the suggestion of the lime and/or soda. I’m going to keep working on this one as an afternoon drink on the hot summer days.

                                            @goosehd i'm assume you're in Ontario. if so try and locate a bottle of smith and cross Jamaican rum, it's back in our stores but not every location. if you don't already have it that is.

                                            don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!
