@Tago-Mago it definitely happened but I have less vermouth than I thought I did, so it might not for much longer!

how could you let this happen?

@Tago-Mago we all screw up occasionally

@SourPower I like it. It was a present but I’d consider buying it for myself. The cherry is more obvious with tonic (and stronger than I expected). In a Negroni it comes through less clearly but adds depth.

@tenuin got my hands on something special from DDL and it did not disappoint!
“Distilled from molasses at Uitvlugt Estate on the Port Mourant wooden double retort still (built in 1732), aged 2 years in ex-bourbon casks in Guyana and 22 years in ex-port casks in Europe. Bottled at 60.2% abv, unfiltered, no added color or sugar. Congeners measuring 546.9 g/HLAP.”
Dang that looks like a mighty fine bottle LM&V are probably the finest independent bottler of rums right now. Nice age on it too.
Congeners measuring 546.9 g/HLAP.”Now you're speaking my language! Truth is I dont drink much these days, but my home bar is still well supplied with some exotic high ester rums from around the world. If you get the chance see if you can find some Hampden or Long Pond from Jamaica.
What little I can see of the menu looks very promising. What is that place? -
@tenuin big fan of Hampden and Long Pond. Exceptional stuff! Did you know that Hampden sells their highest ester rums to be used for rum flavoring in the commercial food industry?
This bar is a favorite of the Wife and I, Jungle in Boulder, CO. Fantastic original and classic tiki cocktails, rums, and food.

you mean this one ?
while this bottle is still closed, I have tried two different DOKs. Once a different bottling of the one I have at the German Rum Fest, and another from the Hampden Marks collection. I can honestly say that high ABV DOK is the most intense flavour experience I have ever had. I can't even describe what it tastes like because it just hits your taste buds like a tidal wave.
What I currently have in the bar from Long Pond and Hampden.And some other High Ester stuff from New Yarmouth, Rivers and La Reunion and Martinique.
