U unklefun Member Oaktucky Joined: Jan 04, 2006 Posts: 73	U unklefun Posted posted on Fri, Oct 2, 2009 7:53 PM Aloha Ohana, Unkle Fun is offering up a bottle of my private reserve rum. Here's how it works, help me choose a name and WIN A BOTTLE! Of course my partner and I came up with a name, based on our sons, Isaac & Drake. But we could not figure out the combination we liked best between: Sir Isaac & Captain Drake Private Reserve Sir Drake & Captain Isaac Private Reserve Captain Isaac & Sir Drake Private Reserve Captain Drake & Sir Isaac Private Reserve Come up with a new name altogether and if it sticks you'll WIN A BOTTLE TO! YOUR MISSION Pick one name that sounds the best to you, and the name with the most votes WINS! HOW DO YOU WIN? Each vote will be assigned a number. The first entry would be 1, second entry will be 2 and so on. On Saturday October 10th at 12 noon, we will draw a WINNER! Our rum was made in small batches of 10 gallons, and aged in oak. Made with molasses and almond, this rum has a very nice balance of almond and vanilla overtones with a hint of oak and cherry. It's good, if I say so myself and it packs a whooping 120 proof. Gold in color and makes for a perfect Mai Tai or any of your favorite intoxicating libations or float (yes it does ignite). Oh I almost forgot, this small batch of 20 bottles was bottled in the Derek Yaniger Papa Ubangi Decanter and sealed in Wax. Papa holds 24oz. I have 9 bottles left and if interested, contact me for details on how to get one.

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Sat, Oct 3, 2009 4:18 AM I love rum, and I love that bottle, so you got me! The nautical title concept is nice, but it sounds a bit cumbersome... Here I go with option 5: The Sons of Tiki Special Reserve The Keiki KonTiki Koncoction Two Little Tikis Spirit or a more compact version of yours: Captain Isaak Drake's Grog or, very 70s liquor label style, simply: I&D's Fine Grog

TG The Gnomon Member MD-DC-VA Joined: May 01, 2007 Posts: 1293	TG The Gnomon Posted posted on Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:09 AM As with so many English names, the name of legendary explorer, Sir Francis Drake, had Latin origins: Franciscus Draco. While a drake is a male duck, the surname Drake comes from Draco, Latin for dragon. Besides being a mathematician, astronomer, and general physicist, Isaac Newton was an alchemist. It is not that much of a stretch to consider a fine rum to be the product of alchemy. One of Newton's last works was the publication of an incomplete theory of chemical force, which sounds a little like rum to me. Among the tasks of the alchemist was the mystical manufacture of many things including wisdom and precious metals. My two entries then, therefore, are: Dragon's Wisdom Private Reserve, and Dragon's Gold Private Reserve Catch you on Monday 10/12. I'll be at parents' weekend and Penn State until then. Hope you find the perfect name.

Mahaloz to all who participated, and if you are still interested in getting your hands on one of these bottles of rum send me a PM. Had a few friends over this past weekened and we cracked open unklefun's rum (hey, there's another good name). We drank it neat and really enjoyed it a lot. We detected both vanilla and coffee notes. Next I'll try to find a good cocktail recipe to use it in. Thanks for the bottle, excellent rum! If he has any bottles left, I encourage others to obtain one.
