Bilgemonkey says this: "Call it what you will - grog, swill, Nelson's Blood - it all comes back to Rum. Rum - where all good adventures both begin and end. So grab your bottle, grab your wench. Kick off your boots and splice the mainbrace fer a spell - ye've earned it."

What do ye favor? What makes yer mouth water and ye have wet dreams of that one 'particular' hot and hellish drink?

Rum, Cognac, Port.. JD.... they all warm th' cockles of me heart....

Then by all means be sure to spend a minute or two with Robin St. Graves the Demon Rum will warm ya :)

ha.... yes i know well of th' Demon rum of th' pyrate St. Graves.. matter fact he be bunkin wit' us at pyratecon... *wink*

The golden rhum known as Cask 23 arrived....and it was all and more than I'd read about and dreamed of....

It is NOT a rhum to be mixed or Blended, but to be sipped and savored. The first taste rolls across yer palate liked warm, slightly orangy/spicy silk. The second sip opens up like a pyrate sloop hoving in for the kill, with unimaginable hints of vanilla, cardamom, paprika, chocolate, anise--not strong but ghostly hints caressing your nose and palate and lingering like echoes of past glory long after you've savored the last drop.

Check out Hitime.com, but they only ship within CA.......bugger...

One of best things about bein' a 'Pirate', or Privateer is Rum. It is the nector favored by sailors. A treasure of the carribean. My favorite spirits are, as follows; Pyrat XO Reserve Planters Gold- Anguilla, hands down fave. 2nds areCruzan Estate Dark 2 year- St. Croix,
Matusalem Classic Black Cuban Tradition- Florida.
Best value price spice rum Sailor Jerry's.
Favorite beers are Guinness ale daught, Sapporo -Japan.
Domestic are Samual Adams, Killian's Red. Fave Irish whiskey, Jameson. Scotch is Balvenie 10 year, when I can aford it.

"Drink up me hearties yo ho!"

Pyrat XO Reserve (Most just call it Pyrat) be the best rum goin, in my way of drinkin. Of course, it's to be drunk neat, so one can enjoy the smell and savor every drop. The fun part be that when ye finish it, you still have a period hoof bottle that can be used else whar.

Pyrate XO be a fyne rhum ta drink. Now, this past fort'night, I've nosed about a homebrew establishment, who perported ingrediences ta turn 'umble vodka inner whisky/rum/gin/ect...
It only works iffen' ye have no nose an' no sense o' taste! Bloody 'ell, wif me other blends, I were finally able ta make it 'palatable'...but nowhere NEAR where it claims ta be 'Top Shelf' quality!
