    Great video! You clearly know your drinks, and you talk about them in an interesting way. Definitely earned a sub. I'll for sure keep an eye for any of these rums next time I'm out about.
    You mentioned drinks that aren't available in the UK. There's one rum I've tried once that went down so easily and really surprised me with how mild it was (in a good way). It's called Reykjavik Rum, and naturally, it's only available in Iceland. I got some because my Dad bought a small bottle as a gift for me when he was passing through Iceland on his way back to the US from the UK. I only tried it once, and that was probably a year and a half ago, but I remember it being rather nice. Good news is that my recently made wife is also passing through Iceland on her way to stay with me for a few days, and was awesome enough to buy me some as a gift. In a day or two I'll be able to confirm whether or not it tastes as awesome as I remember it being, but if you ever come across any, I would definitely recommend checking it out!

    I just order the Hamilton Florida Rum Society rum yesterday, the Real McCoy 3 a local rum and looking for a Demerara rum. The El Dorado 8 and Hamilton are the only two brands I’ve found so I want to compare it. I have read that the el dorado is so high in sugar though. I bought Angostura 5 a few days ago cause I love Trinidad and Tobago for the music. Made a old Cuban with it and it got lost in the drink.

    • @StevetheBarmanUK

      El Dorado stripped their Sugar back in late 2010s... so not that sweet now...if at all. But i know certain "Demerara" Brands still tout ED is highly dosed to make their brands sound better to the consumer...

    Have you tried any rums from the Foursquare Distillery?...No color, no sugar, no additives with a high ABV. Phenomenal sipping rum and must try for any rum enthusiasts.

    • @StevetheBarmanUK
      @StevetheBarmanUK  Рік тому +2

      Yes I have. Yes. And you’ll also see the Doorlys behind the bar. Be careful on the no colours though. I know you’re talking about ECS Rum. But Foursquare does obvs own and produce Doorlys as their goto Rum. And that certainly does have colour added to it. In fact the majority of Rums that are masses produced over and over again will always have colour purely for consistency. The wider debate is does that colour effect the taste. Well, if you actually taste E150a, it’s hard to believe that it doesn’t. But no ECS Rums don’t… no cask series will as they don’t need consistent colour. Some of the EVS Rums are okay. A lot are very samey to me. It’s only drastically different cask finishes that I personally think are that different.

    • @wsp7118

      @StevetheBarmanUK  Рік тому +1

      Honestly, I find them rather bland. I have them here... but I don't know how they fit in. Cos they're just "normalish" Rums. Cane juice wise... don't come close to Renegade, Clement, Neisson, Rhum JM etc. Even Paranubes, or Uruapan from Mexico. Copalli are decent, but nothing that makes to stop and take note which is a shame. Even the Cacao one is missing Cacao! Just my opinion... but I think one shared by a lot of people, as there really isn't much noise about them. Real shame.

    • @StevetheBarmanUK
      @StevetheBarmanUK  Рік тому

      I do tend to stay away from Don Papa cos of the excessive sweetness and the fact most are “Spiced” or “Flavoured”. A lot are also limited releases I think. Take that Masskara…wasn’t it infused with Lime and Honey? Plus we’ll over £50/$60 in the UK when it was available. So yeah…I never tasted it.
