We’re 2/3 the way through and it’s just before BTAC season.
My personal favorites:
- Heaven Hill 22 year (bit disappointed but still amazing)
- Penelope ALW 18 year (way better than expected)
- Elijah Craig 15 (don’t want to admit it but it’s worth the hype)
Also waiting on the T8ke Found North bottle that many people seem to think is a worth contender.
Hello! I’ve recently started getting into Tiki because my girlfriend, who dislikes almost all alcoholic drinks, liked a Humuhumunukunukuapua for the first time when I made it for her. She also likes mojitos and tolerate Mai Tais and Saturns.
I’ve been seeing a lot of recommendations for getting an aged Jamaican rum to complete a tiki bar setup, especially since tiki seems to benefit a lot from “blending” rums, which doesn’t really have an equivalent in other cocktails (ie, you don’t blend whiskies to make a old fashioned)
My current rums are:
Maggie’s Farm Dark 50:50 Rum
OFTD
Don Q Cristal
Smith and Cross
Would I benefit from adding something like Appleton 12 to the mix? Especially looking to improve my Mai Tai game.
Cheers!
