Just polished off my first Evan Williams single barrel, not sure how you can beat it in its price range.

Fantastic.

If he is serious about rum anything Foursquare, Worthy Park of Hampden would be big hitter bottles. They might also be a little hard to find. If you can’t find those look for bottles by Plantation and Real McCoy that say Barbados Rum it is just Foursquare they those companies sourced, Another that is good is JM Rhum XO it is usually available and is a spicier style that is unique. Actually I think Seelbachs online still has a 14yr old Worthy Park for $99. I have a bottle and it is excellent.

wow - 124 proof rum!

FPD has been a good one

Evening baws, made it back home

What are your thoughts on these? I've passed on their rolling fork picks, but I did seriously consider pulling the trigger a few times. Blind buying at that price point is a big gamble.

I have about 6 bottles of Rolling Fork, the two I opened are both Seelbach picks. One Worthy Park 14 the other that Foursquare. Both are excellent, that Foursquare is full of caramel, butterscotch and even some praline notes, has nice heavy mouthfeel. When you add water the fruits start to come out and some spicy notes on finish. You are paying about $10/ year on these. Also being single cask and not exactly fitting the distillery character adds uniqueness.

How does it compare to the 12.

I’m curious about this too, I find the 12 year very oaky, almost too much oak.
