Great breakdown, Steve. This really helped me.
I really appreciate the unaged agricole as I came to rum via rye whiskey and tequila.
Just bought my first rum - Plantation Original Dark (US$25 / 1L, it was basically the cheapest non spiced-rum brand I could find in my area that you name-dropped).
Been a whiskey neat drinker my whole life and I am happy to go on a new journey. Cheers!
Great to have you with us 👍
I’m really a fan of you and your rum collection. Jesus, it’s my dream
Thanks for watching! 😊
STEVE!!! Great video!!! I'm just getting into Agricole style rum, and it's def interesting!! I really learn lots from your videos for sure!! CHEERS!!!
Very informative.I wish i would have seen a video like this when I started in Rums.
great video Steve. I looking forward to trying the Clements.
Great starter pack Steve
Thanks for the Doorly’s tip. I just bought my first bottle of 8 year. Killer!
Thanks again for the quality content Steve! Sipping some flor de Cana 12 today! Cheers!
Hope you enjoy it, it's a great Rum.
I only buy havana rum, just to piss the yanks off! Plus it's bloody good stuff! 👍
Hahahaha. I do love my Cuban Rums.
@@StevetheBarmanUK only joshing Steve. Cracking channel. 👍
Hi Steve ,your vids are very helpful.Ive always been a Havana Club man but im now trying others,Cheers Ross
some great points of reference 👍
Thanks matie!
My first "rum love" was Ron Cubay and its still a favorite but I've moved over to English style with my current Barbados path I suppose :P 100% agree they do well in fruity drinks, love the grande reserve in my pina coladas!
Few things beat a Ron Cubay daiquiri though =)
Haha, Ron Cubay is the Daddy of Daiquiris!
Hey steve,...as always wonderful cosy video,..it is always sooo great to hear u talk about our fav liquid,..btw. did u try the BACARDI SUPERIOR HERITAGE??
Christ, you'll be really lucky to get hold of any of that!!
In the US, you can get the 1.75 liter plastic handle of Doorly's 5 year for $30 and the 4 year Flor de Cana for the same. That's a great starter.
Also, I am finding that if a cocktail requires rhum agricole, I can mix half and half Wray and Nephew with Appleton Signature and get a good result.
Yeah, Jamaican OPs are great for that. Not quite the same cos it's not Sugar Cane juice...but a great great Sub.
My first rum was bacardi light rum, not great not bad
Hi there, a beginner here. My first rum was Captain Morgan dark rum. I then tried Gosling's only to find out that it has added sugar (and color? ) to it. Since I'm into low carbs, I am only interested in rums with no added sugar and preferably with no added color as well. I've now tried Flor de cana 12, and I like it. I'm waiting for Appleton 12 and Mount Gay Black, then soon Plantation Xaymaca and Doorly's. Your channel is really helpful. Thanks.
This comment deserves a whole Book in response. Look. Generalising here, most Rum does have Colour (same as some Whisk(e)y) and a lot of Rums have added Sugar too. Captain Morgan obvs being a big for all that. The fact is All supermarkets demand a consistent product, month on month, year or year. Rum producers don’t really publish this, except for Plantation. Plantation are epic for telling you exactly what’s in their Rums.
@@StevetheBarmanUK Thank you for taking your time to reply. Yes, true, the reason I only look for those with no added sugar (or color). There are a few, and it's okay. 🙂
One of my first rum was Bumbu from Barbados I found it so sweet that it was delicious and the bottle had something to do with that (the pirate myth) and I don’t know but I’m pretty sure there’s sugar added even though I don’t know if it’s pot or column still. (Are Barbados rum, which are English style, more frequently pot still just like Jamaica or more blended?)
So this isn’t “Barbados Rum” in the truest sense of the word. You’ll taste VERY different rums from WIRD, Foursquare, St Nicholas or Mount Gay. None of those will be even remotely close to Bumbu. In fact I think (although not 100% sure) Bumbu is a blend with other countries. They just buy Cheaper Rums and blend then add flavourings like Vanilla. (It’s basically a “Spiced Rum”.). As whether they are Pot or Column… the answer is all Distilleries have a mix of both. But all produce a Pot Still Rum, and a Blended Rum. Even Appleton in Jamaican is a blend of Pot & Column.
I just buy a collection of different boozes and just hope they can last more than a month, which some don't 😂
The pampero blanco,..is it nice?
Tune in for Thursday's video...
Hi
Hi Steve, could you maybe take a look at Mama Quilla XA in your under 50 series?
Never heard of it before, so just looked. It’s not a proper UK product. Which means it isn’t imported on mass. But a couple of places have it but it’s well over £60.
@@StevetheBarmanUK oh I thought it would be more available. Got it at my lokal store in Germany for 45€. Thanks for the reply and keep up the great work!
Steve do you have a copy of the tiki cocktail book "Smuggler's Cove"? It's beautiful and invaluable. Part recipe book, part history book, written by witty and wise people.
Yeah. Martin Cate. He’s a good lad. Comes here for RumFest.
Unfortunately my options for rum are very limited near me, as I live near dingle.
So I have to order from Dublin.
I have to get a bottle of Agricole as I have not tried any.
I'm really getting in to my Cane Juice. There's some great Rhums out there...
@@StevetheBarmanUK any recommendations?
Why can I not save this video??? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I wonder how many people that watch this video have actually never bought rum once.
