Fuzz Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I found the Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros to be a bit too hot and harsh, when I tried it in Havana. Of course, after a few glasses, I didn't notice it any more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I don't know what the regs are in your state, but a local store should be able to order single bottles for you - it can't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Threat Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Take a look at K&L wines. They ship, good prices and rotate their stock quite a bit. Quick glance shows they carry the El Dorado 15 https://www.klwines.com/Products/r?r=58+4294966195&d=2&t=&o=8&z=False Most importantly, they offer "K&L Exclusives" where they source single barrels then sell the bottles directly to cut costs. The savings are passed on to you. Hop on their newsletter to be informed of new inventory. I buy most of my liquor via their Exclusives because the deals are so good. Todays deals are three different 51 year old blended cask strength whiskeys for $299-$399 a bottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stogieluver Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hey Fos, Something you might be interested in seeing. I'll be glad to ship it to you. These are stocked in our local state owned liquor stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Had to go to Lincoln Nebraska and stopped at a liqueur store in Omaha called "The Spirit World." Stepped inside and oh my we felt like cave men. Great store, eating and bar to try a spirit before you buy. We have nothing like it at home so hats off to you guys that have a store like this. Picked up four bottles from my wish list. The pussers 15 was a bit high at $80 but taking into consideration I could drink it before I bought a bottle was pretty sweet. Jealous of anyone who has this store. If they allowed cigars I probably would have never left.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stogieluver Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Nice. We don't have anything like that here, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Appleton is nice, but priced at a premium. One thing you'll notice about rum is each country has its own style of rum. Haiti, Cuba, & Puerto Rico make leaner style. Central America has a richer style. Jamaica has its own style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 I found the Appleton for $32.99. It's going to be tough to beat the Zaya i think at the $25 a bottle I pay. Friend we are going to get together to taste all these with mentioned he was going to pick up a bottle of Sammy Haggars rum. I don't know if I should just bring a can of coke to try it. Looks like a straight up artificial everything in a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbandz Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi Times Cellars in Costa Mesa, Cali. long lists of goodies and I have been using them for 20 years. great prices too........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Found another bottle. Not sure what to expect but Rum Ratings gave it a solid 8. Picked it up for $70. I'm new to the area and someone tipped me off the a little mom and pop store that had a load of scotch and a small rum area. They had Appleton Rare Blend and Pusser's and also a bottle of Pyrat Cask 1623 40yr old rum for $199. I was really eyeballing the Pyrat with it given an 8.8 but I thought I got some very close to the same rating for 1/4 to 1/3 of the price. If I'm gong to drop $200 on a bottle it better be a solid 9+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
