Anyone up for Rum trading? - Tiki Drinks and Food

Robbed me £33.25, which isn't too horrendous. I got it from Royal Mile Whiskies, who have a shop in London and will ship. The Whisky Exchange (also in London) sells the same stuff slightly cheaper and also ship. Tried it in a 1950 Zombie (recipe in Sippin Safari) - delicious, and I barely recall eating dinner that night. I've found a surprising amount of ingredients locally the past month - falernum, orgeat and passion fruit syrup, creme de cacao and one demerara rum (OVD) that is highly popular in Scotland and, it seems, nowhere else! All available in Makro, bar the falernum. Makro also sells Brugal rum a lot cheaper than my 'specialist' shop (Peckhams in Glasgow). Macadamia liqueur I can't help with - I last saw that on sale in New Orleans and regret not buying it! Whisky Exchange sells a Monin macadamia syrup though (didn't see that one in Makro!). And St James rum! :drink:
