For me we can meet on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. Saturday is nice as it will be after the fair.
We can also meet at the fair of course. I will wear a RumX T-Shirt or Hoodie depending on the temperature.

The 1802 seems a good choice. I can also ask my friend from Paris for an advice ?

I should be free on Saturday evening after cigars and spirits with Christophe. If I’m not too drunk I’ll join in the evening. We’ll be at the Live on Monday.

I just went through the new releases for the upcoming Whisky Live and added all the new rums to the database. So you can already mark favorites or use the new “create list” feature to access the releases quickly at the show. :sunglasses::tumbler_glass:

We’re already looking forward to a fantastic community weekend with you! :fr::tumbler_glass::partying_face:

Huge props @Oliver for releasing that in advance !!

So far I am interested in the Flag Series and the Colours of Rum new collection. Also interested in the LMDW Plantation collaborations and the new Cambridge.

Is it me or the new HV tend to be less and less spectacular ? I mean, no offense to the producers and bottlers, maybe I am used to a high level profile too, but it doesn’t seem « wow » to me.

Looking forward to tasting all those beauties with you the RumX community !

Btw is there something confirmed or planned then for the Saturday evening ?

I think that the wow effects decrease greatly the more styles and marks you’ve already tried. At some point you’ve had everything from rubber to raisins to gasoline and esters and plum and acetone (
 you name it) in the jar, just in different expressions. Maybe that’s the reason.

I find the HV mostly very good, sometimes excellent, but a “gamechanger” is of course hard to find when you have already tried many things.

You have a point indeed, I have tasted a few HV bottlings already. But when you got first LP TECA 2005 or HGML 2010 with a certain age, and then you get a 2 year renegade it kinda feels off, even though I am interested in tasting something that changes a bit (quite curious with the Cambodian rum for instance)
