I'm not one of those "snooty" spirits tasters who can come up with all kinds of flowery sounding BS to describe the taste but I would call it Black Seal with the edges smoothed and a few more years of maturity.

because maturity and liquor go hand in hand...

You got me there! Ok, so maybe I should say maturity of flavor, not necessarily of the consumer.

Since it's not a term that gets mentioned in the same sentence as my name either, I see your point

I had some on my visit last June at a restaurant in Hamilton. OMG.....I may consider becoming a permanent resident of Bermuda just to get that stuff!!!

I have not had the pleasure but that just gives me one more reason to put a trip to Bermuda on the bucket list.

Bermuda is a magical place....you will enjoy it!

The link to "How to Drink Like Hemingway in Key West" is good. My wife would say they could lose the babes in bikinis........maybe so, but still some good information about the bar scene in KW!

So your wife wants the Babes to lose the Bikinis??

I like the way she thinks!!!!!

is it me, or did it look like the blonde in the blue bikini had a twist or two in hers?

I decided to try out this recipe for Key Lime Rum Cake tonight: http://www.keylimejuice.com/recipes/key ... m-cake.htm

I sent my husband to the store to get ingredients and he some how "accidentally" came home with a bottle of 151 proof Gosling's Black Seal. I'm thinking this cake is going to kick ass! Will report results back later...if I'm still sober enough to type after eating it.

We tried the super-ultra rare family estate stuff in Key West several years ago. We were there in July, and it was just us, the bartender and the manager for most of the day. We made friends, and they both wanted to try it, so we all did. We ALL thought it was awful.

El Dorado 12 year. There's just something about a demerara rum to me that screams MORE!

Neat, slightly cooled or with a splash of ginger beer and lemon.

We'll have to give it a whirl. Thanks!

El Dorado is not on the State of OH list. Guess it is a trip to Party Source and eco-devo for KY

Just mixed up a mojito with fresh mint (I grow my own.....I have experience from college, well, it wasn't mint, but the principal is the same) and 10 Cane rum......very refreshing!!!

As a new memeber, I feel the need to contribute:

Softball Parent cocktail-- 20 ounce bottle of water, one packet of grape G2 Gatorade, one shot of Sailor Jerry's, one shot of Cruzan Coconut. Hydration with a buzz, no hangover, great camoulflage for your drink.

Tom's Beach Rumrunner-- 16 ounces Hawaiian Punch Lite (minimal sugar), one shot of Sailor Jerry's, One shot of Cruzan Coconut, 1/2 shot of Captain Morgan's black spiced rum. Vigorously mix your rum with crushed ice first, then add the HP Lite. Enjoy!!!
