Mount Gay Rum

Tried a number of Rums in Ecuador and one was truly exceptional.

The sad part s that I can't recall any of the details-I asked the woman in the airport duty free for "ron viejo" she sold me a bottle of something fabulous.

Well, all this talk of premium rums has definitely set my tastebuds tingling, my palate palpitating...

(no hard feelings Copperspoon?)

I'm off to the Local Liquor mart to see if they've got anything other than Bundaberg and Frigate.

One angle we haven't touched on is that many of these fine liquors are associated with other places/other times in our lives-the Colombian Coffee liqueur I bought in Ecuador seemed ambrosial at the time.

Years later I bought a bottle in Colombia and found it to be rather unremarkable.

opinions are what opinions are. You are entitled to yours. I am so sorry for not fitting in to your idea of what an internet discussion should be: a bragging forum. I guess I have hit a raw nerve?

Funnily enough Copperspoon has hit the nail on the head. The location and the moment have a lot to do with how the memory recalls food or a drink of rum. One that has tasted outstading whilst on a vacation or trip can be very ordinary back at your dining table at home.

Which balances out your first comment of

<hr>The Rums as mentioned above are lower end product-if you want an outstanding sipper look for Nicaraguan product. <hr></blockquote>

In your opinion Lemon Hart and Bolivar are lower end?????? Sums you up really. I would bet that you have tried neither, but feel free to force your opinion on us all.

Now, now play nice and don't mock the afflicted.

Personally I like a fellow with the courage of his own pretensions.

Hello Big Iain dear. I don't think I've had the pleasure. How did you get the nickname 'Big' Iain? My Shlomo, may her rest in peace, used to call me Beth the Bucket but I never knew why.

Mount Gay. It's the only rum in the village.

Sorry to disappoint you dear widow, Its a Scottish thing that anyone over 6ft tall has to go through life being caled Big.....

Ach, these whiskey-soaked pencil-wieners!
