I feel like I can post this because your mug is too precious to throw at me...

I've only seen the XO Reserve which for some reason always came across as a novelty for me (maybe because the person who gifted it to me was a clown). $39 a shot is insane. What does the bottle run? And what makes it that special?
H hang10tiki Tiki Socialite Las Vegas Joined: Jul 18, 2010 Posts: 10325	H hang10tiki Posted posted on Sat, Jun 18, 2016 8:52 PM Internet search More research Product Description Pyrat (Old English: pronounced pirate) Cask is an ultra premium aged, limited production rum. This excellent dark amber rum is blended from the finest Caribbean rums, aged up to 40 years. Pyrat Cask has the body and color of a rare cognac and is perfect for sipping. Our Take: I came in to this tasting with high expectations, and this rum ran a marathon past the line I had set in my mind for it. It is one of those rare potables that I find hard to drink, because I get trapped up in how amazing the aroma proves to be. When I finally sip it I in turn get trapped in the depth of its flavor. This rum is definitely intoxicating on more than one level. Aroma: blood orange, apricots, brown sugar Taste: intense blood orange, sweet apricot jam, brown sugar, pie crust, graham cracker, everything intense Finish: lingering warmth, no heat, just warmth Feel: full bodied, syrupy, viscous Worst sound ever, slurp of an empty tiki mug through my straw!!!

TBK The Blue Kahuna Member Points East & West Joined: Jun 01, 2011 Posts: 380	TBK The Blue Kahuna Posted posted on Sun, Jun 19, 2016 7:29 PM I decided to take the time and effort to make an original Zombie ... usually I drink the Spievak mostly because it tastes good and I'm lazy! It's really amazing how the Spievak with lemon juice can approximate the original, at least on my palate :) Anyway used four different rums because my LH151 is stashed elsewhere: Coruba Dark, Don Q Gold Anejo, LH80, Hamilton 151 ... 1 oz ea ... Mighty tasty!

All those sweet flavors mentioned above (intense blood orange, sweet apricot jam, brown sugar, pie crust, graham cracker) are overwhelming and cloying. It tastes more like candy than rum. It's been a while since I've had it because I learned my lesson the first two times, and my palate has developed since then, but even in my early rum drinking days (when I still liked Zaya), it was too sweet for me. For the price of one bottle of this, you can get 3-7 bottles of much better rum that isn't just a bunch of chemical flavoring.

I'm dubbing it "Krakatoa Kula" and have aimed in keeping a similar flavor profile but reducing the overly sweet concoction to something a bit more drinkable. I'm pretty sick of the test process to be honest, but I think I've come close to a final result. I'll share when it's final. Major respect to mixologists who know wtf they're doing!

Trying some new Mai tai rum variations tonight in anticipation of an upcoming party. Big Bamboo (recipe doubled) from a couple nights ago. Nice drink if you've got the white grapefruit. Bottled or red just doesn't cut through with this one.
