I have made some changes to my Amazon wishlist for Christmas this year, thanks to this thread data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Thanks to this thread I bought some Angostura 1919 too.....and it is a beautiful drink, a steal at the price
...in the company of Capt Morgan as we speak!data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Mainly been a malt man through the years but since we have been holidaying in the Caribbean for the last few years rum is now the preference. It really is a Christmas drink when aged and spiced and Burmudez 1852 Anniversario is very tasty but Morgan's spiced over here is great and goes down well.
What's with the coke though you savages data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Well I went to Sainsburys to get a bottle but the lure of the Kraken was too much!
Definitely next time though. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I love Captain Morgans and enjoy Aldi's dark rum at £9.99 a bottle, how do these compare to Angostura 1919 and Kracken ?. I enjoy spiced rum but find it slightly sweet and I tend to go for darker rums.
Just getting stuck into a bottle of Marks and Spencer Cana Negra Guatemalan Gran Reserva rum from M&S online - really very good for the £23 well worth a go
Just been given a bottle of this...any good? It's direct from barbados.
I got my first bottle of Angostura 1919 for chrimbo. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Just noticed that Angostura 1919 is down to £21 on Amazon and OCADO or £21.50 in Waitrose data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I also discovered how much sugar is added to some "premium aged" sipping rums in order to make them smoother.
Here's a list (compiled by Count Silvio on refinedvices) which shows that a couple contain almost as much as pop drinks, no wonder they don't need a mixer!
First part from Alko in Sweden:
