Popped open another of my private cask rums. XXX Six, a 2010 vintage from Mauritius, bottled at 67.2%. This one is full of warmth, with hints of vanilla & licorice. #Rum #Rhum #RumBuckaroo #LordRumBuckaroo #XXXSix #MauritiusRum #Mixology #RumFest #ChicagoRumFest #PrivateCask #RumBarrel https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc6Qpmlu3AAni0YyTUQi7uSNnngbUn47GWP8pQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Letting Hamilton’s Zombie Blend warm me up. Hamilton teamed with Beachbum Berry on this one. This rum is bottled at 59%, & it will kick in quick. This is a fast Zombie! Have this one on hand if you can, for some excellent mixology. #Rum #Rhum #LordRumBuckaroo #RumBuckaroo #HamiltonRum #HamiltonZombieBlendRum #RumFest #ChicagoRumFest #Zombie #Mixology https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc3s5zAOm96Q5038Znj93HAFPf_lqUHOssXmLI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Only a couple of days to Rum Fest! This rum from Plantation has quite a cast of rum aficionados behind it. While O. F. T. D officially stands for Old Fashioned Traditional Dark, those were not exactly the words uttered by the first to sample it. Bottled at 69%, this rum is the overproof you need in your home bar. I met Alexander Gabriel, the master blender from Plantation, just before it launched. Hearing the story of O. F. T. D. from the source. #Rum #Rhum #OverproofRum #RumBuckaroo #LordRumBuckaroo #PlantationRum #PlantationOFTD #RumFest #ChicagoRumFest #Mixology https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc1J3yZusb6cSVGsI_MvJxCiJotzeT9rSJoQn40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tonight I get to one of the Plantation Rums in my collection, Xaymaca. Thins one has a bite, with a bit of island funk as well. Bottled at 43%, it warms you up quick. #Rum #Rhum #LordRumBuckaroo #RumBuckaroo #PlantationRum #Plantation #PlantationXaymaca #Xaymaca #RumFest #ChicagoRumFest #Spirits #Mixology https://www.instagram.com/p/CcwBZ3-ueyLpwfYiQgY1oZx4ZvXLs3Kbz7X0z40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sampling a rum from northern Michigan. High Five Spirits produced this Mackinac Island Rum & it’s the first chance I’ve had to sample it. It’s a bit rough sipped neat. Certainly has lots of potential as a mixing rum. #Rum #Rhum #RumBuckaroo #LordRumBuckaroo #MackinacIslandRum #HighFiveSpirits #Mixology #RumFest #ChicagoRumFest https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccqw4IvOcke1kR0gLRcOdduBbo-mayIdZYsNQ40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bundaberg Rum! So difficult to come by in the USA. A welcome addition from a friend. This rum has bite, with a hint of sticky, as it lingers in your mouth. Makes a wicked Rum & Coke! (Always use sugar Coke!!!) #Rum #Rhum #RumBuckaroo #LordRumBuckaroo #BundabergRum #BundabergDistillery #Australia #RumFest #ChicagoRumFest https://www.instagram.com/p/CcliP3Tu9kW_FKOLlrU1kNjrTXyM_l_H5IFAMc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More rum tasting, as I get ready for Chicago Rum Fest next week. This is from the legendary Foursquare Rum Distillery. The Zinfandel Cask Blend, aged for 11 years, bottled at 43%. This one starts smooth, bites a little, then warms you up. All the delicate flavors introduce themselves & puts a smile on your face. #Rum #Rhum #LordRumBuckaroo #RumBuckaroo #FoursquareDistillery #FoursquareZinfandelCask #ZinfandelCaskBlend #RumFest #ChicagoRumFest https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjGebrunJ19QFRyeQj5_an2p4hpRwhAB94Aks0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
