I made mine as well since I haven't seen Allspice Dram in Alberta either. I used Lemonheart 151. It's a wonderful Tiki ingredient! It's good to see a bottle of Bacardi 151 in the wild. Reminds me of my late teen years!
"Pimento liqueur" is probably interchangeable with "allspice dram," since "pimento" is just the Jamaican term for the allspice bush. In the Southern US, pimentos (red peppers) go in cheese only.
@@BarTalkCocktails Bad... But that's why it's always good to know the local meaning of a word... two words or terms can mean totally different things in different countries! Example: In Canada, "rye" doesn't have much rye in it, and is, as far as I know, a broad term for blended whisky. In the US, rye whiskey must have at least 51% rye grain in the mash.
Quick question. Are you using cacao nibs or cacao beans? The description says beans, but you refer to them as nibs during the video. I know the nibs are dried and beans are just raw beans. I really wanna make this, but i wanna get it right. Please let me know. Thank you for the time and effort that you take to make all these videos for us to enjoy.
Good eye. I did refer to them as cacao nibs. My mistake. I used raw cacao beans. Glad you're going to make the Allspice Dram. It's worth the effort. Cheers!
I forgot my dram and now it's waiting for a month :D Will it still be OK or maybe too strong? I have used standard Bacardi carta blanca and not the overproof one
I'm sure your Allspice Dram is fine but, the only way to be sure is to smell and taste it. I would imagine after a month the flavours will be intense. Just strain it out, make your simple syrup and continue by adding more rum to the mix. Let it sit quietly and mature for another 2-3 weeks occasionally shaking it up. You'll be good as gold. I'm so glad you made some. You won't be sorry. Cheers!
Can’t wait for the end result. Made my dram based on Kraken Rum and turned out great. Lots of options after the pearl diver. Use a 1/2 tsp in a Calvados old fashion to get a wonderful apple pie 🥧 tasting drink.
Thanks for the great Allspice Dram recipe Bruce. I just made this sans cocao nibs because i couldnt find any. Other than that i followed your instructions. The flavor is fantastic! This was one of the more involved methods i found on yt but well worth it. Recommended.
@@BarTalkCocktails Well you may have a complete disregard for personal safety, but consider that your viewers probably don't wish to go out anytime soon, especially not in a ball of fire. It's not like you were throwing a splash of Pernod in the pan to flambe some seafood... Nearly a half bottle of 151 proof, spread out over a large pan and heated over open fire is a recipe for disaster. Honestly Bruce, I love your channel, and you need and deserve more subs. Try not to kill off your viewers, okay? Play safe, bud.
Started mine 2 days ago. Used Goslings 151. Really looking forward to it.
Awesome. Let me know how it turns out.
Starting one right now. I would love to sit at your bar someday
Cheers from Belgium 🇧🇪
What a fun, cool guy! Cheers 🍹
Hey thanks!
Don Q still makes a 151 Rum.
I learn something here every day :)
Good!!

Where did you pick up a bottle of Lemonheart 151? I can't get that here in Ontario. I've always wanted to try it.
@@BarTalkCocktails Have you tried uptownspirits.com?
@@BarTalkCocktails It's easy to find here in Alberta.
Very timely, this is my Tiki Summer!
Awesome! Be sure to give it a go, it’s worth it.

Hmm a cheese dram? Wonder what a cheese dram would taste like. Ha.

@@BarTalkCocktails Allspice on cheese and toast. Next experiment.
Pro trick: you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Ezekiel Kieran Yup, I've been using Flixzone for months myself :)

I'm looking forward to this I've got a bottle of st elizabeth's allspice dram that has been collecting dust on my shelf.
Nice! Hope you give it a go! Cheers
This is criminal! how can this video have such few views...I demand justice!
Me too! Ha. Thanks for watching, cheers!
She did the right thing, using that poker. Good on her! ⛏
Ahha, but did she really murder him? You have to watch the movie to find out who really did it... It's a good unexpected Noir twist. Cheers!
Ill be sure to watch it some time! If you say its good, I cant go wrong!
2 weeks😢
James Buchanan seriously, now Im going to be thinking about it just because I know I have to wait to see it 😂
It’ll be out sooner than that! Stay tuned! 😎

Now that I have been on the journey and made the cocktail, I finally watched the movie. It was good too.
You were definitely in for the long haul, I love it! Cheers Paul.
Could you just take spiced rum?
You could easily use spiced rum in place of 151. Often spiced rums will have complimentary flavours like candied citrus, caramel, etc. Cheers!
He censors “Jesus Christ” but then makes a reference to “hell” a few seconds later...... as one, I conclude he’s also a true Satanist. Very well done.
Bingo!
Thanks for watching!
Yeesh, Bruce!
151 proof over an open flame! Where's your common sense , man?!
