Spike's done an awesome job galvanizing the Breezeway community around the launch. Glad to see it mentioned here.

@WhoKnowsNose Ай бұрын

The Breezeway blend makes a fantastic daiquiri! No arguments there. However, it does seem to get lost pretty easily in other cocktails. I've tried a few different drinks and really couldn't taste it at all, which is a bummer because it really is a tasty rum.

@therumrevival Ай бұрын

That's good to know. I figured it would be a bit on the lighter side but wasnt' sure how much of the jamaican dominated. I'm finally cracking it open this weekend so I'll put it through its paces.

I got my first bottle of Rum Fire last week. I made a nuclear daiquiri with it and it's a total banger 😵 everything is ready this week to finally try the Rum Firewalker 😬 thank you for sharing your passion in such a pleasing way.

Great video, I like how you didn't just get rare finds but common shelfers. Seems like the only rum never missing from the shelf is rum fire, totally understandable because I did the same getting a flask before getting the big bottle. Will you ever do a Q/A video? Are you a bartender? What kind of work you do outside youtube?

Yep, always have to have Rum Fire on hand. I like the idea of doing a QA. Maybe if I hit 5k subscribers or something, I'll do one. Maybe as a live stream, perhaps?

I was a little on the fence with the Breezeway blend but really enjoyed it in a Mai Tai. Might be good for cocktail newbies to compare with something in the same range but different, like Ham 86.

For the amburana cachaca, my fav cocktail is the "iz bananaz" recipe from punch. And i also recently bought a pint of rum fire, but only so i could make vanilla extract with it. I saw somewhere on instagram a recipe that infuses the vanilla for 9 months. I couldnt find that recipe again, so i just added 4 pods to the pint + the scraped beans, and im gonna let it sit and see if it makes some interesting desserts

Love these vids! Thank you, Arminder. Over the past couple months I picked up, on your recommendation, a bottle of Clarin Sajous. (I was new to sipping sugar cane spirits and this was challenging at first, but I've kept returning to a 'ti punch with it and I really like it now). I also more recently picked up, I think also on your recommendation, St. Benevolence aged, which is very lovable. I've recently begun growing my own mint and I'm curious if you've got a good rec for a mojito rum. (My go-so far is Probitas.) Or, if you have any other mint cocktail/spirit recs, my ears are shucked. Keep on revivalin'!

Tiki Lover's white 100 proof makes good Daiquiri's and it's non chill filtered and no additives. I bought 5 of them a couple of years ago at K&L on closeout for $10 each and I should have bought a case because of the price. To me nothing touches Probitas for Daiquiri's. Ron Colon 111 proof makes good Daiquiri's but it's overpriced for what it is and glad I got it on closeout at K&L for $28.

dead reckoning is a bottler that i have been eyeing for months, but i have yet to go through with a purchase, simply because the selections i am most interested in are not in my usual price range. would you say the killik is a worthy neat sipper, or would you suggest a different selection? also, unrelated, but i recently tried the kōhana kea in espresso, and it is phenomenal. if you have yet to try it, and if you enjoy espresso, i would suggest trying agricole in espresso. it really brings out the deeper notes of both drinks. great video as always, arminder.

In terms of a Dead Reckoning sipper, I'd check out one of their aged rums instead of the killik. I did do a first impression on a few of them on my patreon a couple of months back.

Forgive me Arminder, for I have bought more rum. It has been several weeks since my last confession. I saw a 7 year old Beenleigh by Oldman Spirits. I got it because it was the Quokka Edition. I defy you to look at the label and not buy it. I also eyed a 12 year old cask strength Cuban from Dram Mór. I'm unsure of how much the embargo effects you folks, hailing as I do from the UK, but cask strength Cubans are hard to come by, I believe some local regulations there about bottling strength. Finally, I gave my hard earned coin to the Transcontinental Rum Line for their 7 year old Beenleigh too. The only one I've opened. Very Australian. Eucalyptus and fig pudding. Nice.

@therumrevival Ай бұрын

That Quokka edition label is amazing lol I need that bottle. The few cask strength Cubans I've tasted have been absolutely delightful. Unfortunately the embargo means we have to ship them from out of the country which gets expensive. That TCRL Beenlieght is quite nice and that reminds me that I should get a bottle.

Have you considered making a video or videos focusing on rum brands and bottles that prioritize sustainability, environmental friendliness, and social responsibility. Given that rum production, originating from cane juice in tropical areas, can contribute to deforestation and biodiversity loss, it's crucial to highlight brands that mitigate these impacts. Additionally, considering rum's historical ties to slavery, identifying brands that have moved away from this legacy would be valuable information. Topics like these would greatly enrich your channel content and is something that is missing in rums exploration on KZfaq.
