    One man's quest to make 20 year old Rum in six days.

    We slowly start down the waterway. “You know the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney?” Davis says. “You can’t just get off and drink with the pirates. That’s the problem we were trying to solve.”

    Well, one of the problems. The other, which had brought me here to meet with Davis in the first place, has more to do with chemistry than with theater. The rum I’d just sampled tasted like it had spent at least a generation in a barrel. It had actually been aged only six days. “We’re throwing all the tools you’d use for curing cancer at making a mai tai,” Davis says.
    Davis sent a bottle of superb 33-year-old rum from Guyana to a lab for chemical analysis. Then he set out to forge its molecular fingerprint.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Friday had the opportunity to taste 3 "top branded" scotch whisky's.

    a 10yo, a 12yo, and an 18yo in that sequence, which was good.

    then reversed the order....which I do not recommend.

    rums have such amazing taste variations it can be hard sometimes to choose a best one.

    I'm a dedicated Bundy Original fan, but this one comes highly recommended.

    A bit pricey, but what you spend on the rum is saved on coke. I'm confident Bearman will second the motion.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
