Thanks Kevin. Finally got some O.F.T.D. and currently enjoying a Pineapple Express (without Elemakule bitters). Next time I may substitute "spiced bitters," 1:1 mix of Angostura bitters and pimento dram.

Nice, sounds like a good way to get some extra spice notes into the cocktail. I do think it still works w/o the bitters but it has just a little less depth of flavor.

Thanks for listening to the show!

Love your podcast, Kevin! I've been binging the past month or so and just finished that Caliche episode. Another couple weeks and I should be caught up with you. I appreciate all the work and research you put into this--it's opened my eyes to a bunch of rums I might not ever have considered before.

Thanks for posting the other day, Kevin. It meant I saw your entry about Bacardi 8 again. Over the weekend, I’d picked up my first bottle and was looking for a recipe to try. Now I’m enjoying a Queen’s Road.

Awesome, thanks for listening Hamo. The Queen's Road is a cool daiquiri riff.

I guess that's the one positive aspect of my slow production schedule - fewer purchases. :)

Kevin, just wondering is your substitution rum page include some of these newer rums?

That's a good question - I don't think I've updated the substitutions page in the last 12-18 months. I'll work on adding some of the more recent rums on the market.

Thanks!

Yep, you got it. :) It made my day that this was recognized!

If you want a couple of 5 Minutes of Rum stickers, send me a PM and I'll get 'em to you.

Thanks for listening all the way to the end (which that was!).

Finally listened to Episode 84 this afternoon, and it really was a great conversation. I regret not haven't gotten the book yet, but I'm about to rectify the problem.

Glad it wasn’t a slog. :)

As I think I said on the show, I’m biased because of my experience at the Rumpus Room, but I think the approach Tom and Kelly took with the book was a fun one...get your guests involved, use what you have, and have some fun!

Thanks Hamo - you beat me to the post! And I'm going to be plugging out of order since it doesn't appear I ever mentioned episode 85. :)
