Steve, I am equally shocked, but unless someone is willing to make one of those 17-year limited editions available to me, I am also using less Appleton Estate, either in cocktails or for sipping. I got my first Hampden bottle about a month ago and it was a real eye-opener in more ways than one 😆
Hello Steve. I really like Véritas, which is both fruity and delicious with a good ABV. A blend of WP109 and Worthy Park Estate 50/50 could be interesting but I don't have the WP Estate to test. I tried a Mai Tai with Rum Artesanal blended Burke's Seamaster Jamaica Barbados which was delicious
Probitas is my first choice for Daquiris. It's not where I chose to go with a Mai Tai. It's a fabulous bottle.= and in the high $20s in my area (Austin, TX).
Steve, not sure if you can get it outside of the US but there is a rum we have called The Funk. Distilled in Jamiaca. bottled in Kentucky. 100 proof so a bit more approachable than the Wray and Nephew. $24 US. Worth a try if you can find it.
Nice breakdown and recap Steve. Excited for the 2 & 3 blend series (if your doing that haha). In terms of Appleton, I would say I don’t tend to group with Hampden, Worthy Park etc.. due to the Blend Rum vs Pot Still Rum differences. However, I am curious to see which situations you’d incorporate Appleton 12 vs the likes of the Plantation Xaymaca. For example, for a Planters Punch I always tend to go for the App 12 whereas maybe a Kingston Negroni I’d go for the Xaymaca
Just an idea: it would be nice to have a short sum up video for the great series instead of that bit at the end of this video. What you said is helpful, but I think it deserves its own video
Yeah. It’s coming if you listened to the newer videos…I’m still waiting for Worthy Park Select which I should actually get hold of tonight! 🤞THEN I can sum up
I actually wouldn’t do OFTD with Worthy 109. I’d do 109 (45ml) with something like Xaymaca (15ml) BUT…I am gonna play a bit more cos that’s just a theory at the moment.

$25 dollars here in Cali. K&L and Remedy both have it. It makes the best Daiquiri's and not a bad sipper in a pinch
29 dollars here is Houston, Texas !
$29 USD in Houston, TX

I got it for a special offer of 21€. an absolute steal
Just paid $21.99 in California
I just paid $36USD for my Probitas in Florida. For me, I love Worthy Park 109 if I can only have one rum in my Mai Tai.
Hi Steve! Just one question-Princess of Admiral or Forgotten Casks? Which one is smoother and softer and has more aroma?

Cheers Stephen, I’ll keep an eye out for that.

@@StevetheBarmanRumReviews still catching up on all the older vids, had a few busy months. But sounds good!
Would 0.5 oz of Plantation OFTD still improve the Worthy Park 109 and Hampden like it does with the Xaymaca?

AUD$80 here in the land downunder. Any reason why the US market has a different name for it?
Probitas was already a Trademark in the UK/EU for something else.
@@StevetheBarmanRumReviews Cheers. It is Veritas down here too but maybe more to do with the import channel?
👌🙏🥂
32.35 EUR here in the land of beer and chocolates
I’m in Mexico with a award winning white Rum for eleven dollars US any one want to export it ? Let me know small distillery
Have you heard of Papa Pilar or the Real McCoy?
Keep watching…you’ll see Real McCoy popping up VERY soon.
