Hätte doch alle Flaschen von Whisky-Maniac aufkaufen sollen für 40€. Klasse Mixer, definitiv besser als der RA aus Cuba

Die Kombi aus Ex-Süsswein-Fass und Foursquare-Profil ist ja grundsätzlich schon vielversprechend, bin dennoch positiv überrascht. Der Absolutio ist echt gelungen. Der kommt dann wohl noch paar mal ins Glas in den kommenden Monaten…

Jetzt bin ich mal auf deine Bewertung gespannt. Für mich schlägt er auch den 2006 auch wegen des Preises

Bei 40€/0,5l für einen Mixer würde ich das jetzt nicht riesig bereuen…
Ärgere mich selber, dass ich nicht noch die letzten beiden Flaschen vom RX7060 für 36€ bei Limited-Rum mitgenommen habe.

Everything 
We made: watermelon rum punch, daiquiri, mai tai, captains grog (with some twists), mojito, dark’n stormy, cuba libre, rum & coke, old Cuban, some stuff with mescal…
I probably forgot some things 
The bottle in the middle is what’s left of a self inspired homemade cocktail from a friend: Clairin 39 months sherry, uitvlugt from kill devil (16 years - 1999 46%), C<>H (bottle on the right) and baie du gaiillon 6 months sherry grand arôme, selfmade apple rubarb cinnamon syrup, falernum, dom bénédictine, lime juice, ginger beer.
YUM 
The bottle on the right is some C<>H, fresh from the still

@TheGreatSpooner I decided to give the Caroni finished gin a try, its hardly a mid winter drink but thats ok! I first tried it neat, then in a classic gin and tonic, which is my favourite way to drink gin. First thing noticed is the very slight colour coming through, which is the barrel influence. On the nose the first thing that hits is licorice, then juniper, standard fair for a london dry, there might be slight oily influence but nothing great. On the palate the barrel influence is a bit more noticable with some dirty notes coming through and some rough edges knocked off, but its still predominatly gin notes. It makes a solid g&t, once mixed the barrel influence is clearly dissipated. I think its worth a try if you can get it it at a decent price, Certainly not worth 210 euro! I paid 70 from rhum attitude, you will need to decide if this is value for money. Solid 8 out of 10 for me. Sorry not rum but i guess its related.

In that period (2010-2015) there was a huge gin hype in germany. Also thats where all those cucumber, lemon, celery tips came from. Thankfully the hype around gin declined massively since corona. Nothing against a nice gin tonic in the summer though. Im just against all those Berlin/schwarzwald manufactured botanical infused hipster gins with prices around 40€/0,5l.

Yes we had the same hype over here, though it probaly peaked 5 years after Europe, like most things over here😄. I still enjoy a good gin and tonic however. There is a lot of gin distillers going broke in australia at the moment, the market has definitly contracted. If i could go back to 2012 i would buy up every Velier Caroni and Demerara i could get my hands on thats for sure!
