He might try it but he won't be the one to buy the bottle.
I already said if it isn't too expensive I might buy one for show because it has a nice label.

I agree with you on that! Sammy did it right and it paid off big time for him, I always have 3-4 Bottles of Cabo in the freezer!

Maybe it'll be like Landshark, the best part is the logo.

I just have the bottle of anejo, but there was a guy who took time to do some research, some work, and put a quality product out for the RedHeads. And both he and Jimmy are "of an age"

We get the anejo too!
LOVE that stuff!!
Hubby got one of the hand blown bottles for Christmas 2 years ago. That's the bottle we keep on the bar.

Although, I love tequilla...... my first love is RUM.
I will have to try this. (bet it ain't as good as my Appleton Estates though)

14 drunken diabetic Haitians relieving themselves into the bottle would be better, and about the same level of fermentation and sugar as this stuff probably will be..

I'm guessing you hit "quote" so you could read R2's miniature post, then hit 'submit' instead of 'back'

hell, if it doesn't catch fire when you light a match...

Oh GOD the rum cake. That was SOOOOO good! I'd road trip to another concert just for that.

Oh, and on topic, the bottle IS pretty.

I'm wondering if that picture is actually a drawing. Can't imagine anything being called dark rum and actually being that light. I'll give it a try. Love the label. Trying to think of who makes rum in Jamaica.

I have a bottle of Sailor Jerry, but I haven't cracked it yet. Heard it's pretty good. I like CPT Morgan Private Reserve. My inlaws have gotten me Cruzan a couple of times they've gone on cruises, but I think they don't like me anymore 'cause it's been a while.

I'm willing to try it then decide. Take one for the team if I have to.

Really, can we stop with the "slap Margaritaville on anything" mentality and go back to writing songs??
Cheap booze is just a bad morning........sometimes the whole next day.

Hey Ringling if you want to try the Banker's Club, let me know. We use their Gin and Rum as our well. Runs us about 6.50 a bottle.

That's $6.25 too much.

Sounds like "Lewis & Clark" or "Mr. Boston" brands.

I'll pass.
