There was a discussion about crushed ice somewhere.

I bought this semi professional one, after various cheaper models crashed. It’s quite big but I’m super happy with it. The granularity of the Ice is perfect for my taste

I use it since 2 1/2 years at least. I use it often, but as you see, I don’t clean lt to often.

Edit. It’s this one: Betec Ideen rund für Haushalt und Bad - Eiszerkleinerer - Ice Crusher - Eiscrusher

A photo from Main Rum Companys Stock. The Mark on the Barrels is BTXCA

We know this is Ten Cane 2008 - so there is still some 2008 left :).

What does BTXCA mean?

B(?)T(rinidad)X(==10?)C(ane)A(?)

Perhaps it is B(arbados) - if those stocks have been transferred to Barbados due to the Foursquare Deal? Although it was believed before those stocks we aged at Angostura?

Perhaps B <> A(angostura).

Hi, I just found a funny page featuring photos of miniature bottles of various alcohols, including rums. Here is an example of DLL but there are many more! Miniature Bottle Library - Demerera Distillers.

Ja, das habe ich auch vor zwei bis drei Tagen gelesen, aber die hatten doch eh immer eine sehr bescheidene Rum Auswahl dachte ich. Vielleicht kauft das Zeug DealClub auf und verramscht es dann wieder

Didnt really know where to post this, since it really is a bit off-topic. Im a fan of such projects and know the people behind it, so I had to buy a set to support them.

It is a triple set of Plum and Apple brandys. We have a Slivovice (plum) from 2014 aged in a Foursquare, Barbados, Barrel. Another Slivovice (plum) from 2014 aged in a Angostura, Trinidad, Barrel. And finally a Jablkovice (apple) from 2019 aged in a Goldcock (whisky) Barrel and then in a Travellers, Belize, Barrel.

I will certainly try them out for a completely different experience. Slivovice is normally something people connect with bad hangovers and headache in Germany. So im interested to see how aged brandys from eastern europe will do. Especially with such Barrel aging.

If you want to also enjoy a set of these, I propose 3x3cl for 9€ + shipping (so its not super expensive anyways).

I do not expect many answers on this. But hey, i certainly am excited to broaden the horizon :sweat_smile:

War echt alles sehr mittelmäßig bei denen. Bin nie fündig geworden und in letzter Zeit war die Gin-Auswahl auch nicht der Hammer.

Trotzdem schade, ich hätte ihnen den Erfolg gegönnt.

Phew… I’d say there are worse ways to die, but honestly, I can’t think of many.

I’d be especially interested in how on earth they got that clean again :thinking:

Ich habe vor ca. einem Monat meine Flasche Caroni The Last geöffnet und (erneut) festgestellt, dass ich wohl kein Caroni Fan werde.

Bevor die geöffnete Flasche jetzt Staub ansetzt, möchte ich sie zum Tausch anbieten. Es fehlen ca. 2-3 cl (siehe Foto)
Fotos der Rechnung und der intakten Kapsel kann ich auch auf Wunsch bereitstellen.

Meine Wunsch-Tauschkandidaten wären:

  • Long Pond Distilla RX12843
  • Rum Artesanal Rockley 1986 RX7784 (bevorzugt)

Ihr könnt auch gerne eine andere Rarität anbieten (ich mag schwere Jamaica und Guyana Rums).
