Anyone tried this from 1988? I have a friend wanting to sell me a bottle.

Only person I could think of would probably be BearsandDeacs. How much? I bought 3 bottles of Stitzel-Weller juice (Rebel Yell, Cabin Still and Old Fitz Prime) from the late 60s/early 70s for $300.

His asking price was $350 a bottle. I told him he is not really my friend at that price.

That does seem steep, but I am definitely not an authority. I may have gotten ripped off on the 3 bottles I bought, but I feel like I got a fair deal.
 
I don't think that $350 is a bad price for that bottle based on the current market. At that price I'd take it off his hands if he wants to sell and you don't want it.
 
Had a couple of pours of Weller SR last night. First bourbon I've had in a while - so fucking good.
 
Anyone ever had Midsummer Night's Dram? Had a couple of pours last week. Blended, seasonal Shakespeare-themed rye whiskey: I really enjoyed it. Didn't realize it was like $200 a bottle.

Retail price is more like $70-80 I think

I am sipping on some right now while watching the games and catching up on the forum.

Rum is interesting. So many off the shelf rums today are full of added sugar and coloring and it definitely has an impact on the taste. I prefer a good rhum agricole, which is made from sugar cane juice as opposed to molasses. It's also a French term and was originally from the French caribbean islands (although i think that others are now producing it the same way). Rhum agricole also has stricter rules so you get a *more* pure product. Definitely worth doing some research - a good reference site is Captain Jimbo's Rum Project (http://rumproject.com/).

Here's another great reference if you want to check how much sugar has been added to your favorite rum:

Bringing this rum post back up, as I've been trying different aged rums lately, and had one that is as close to a whisky as I've ever had in a rum. Foursquare Port Cask Finish. The oak really comes through, and it is not as sweet as most other rums. I guess their distiller (Richard Steale) is known as being a rum purist and eschews added sugars and other outside ingredients. At only $40, I definitely recommend giving this one a shot. Another that I really like is Plantation 20th Anniversary XO, although it is more sweet.
