Jib Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Ever tried Black Seal Rum? Got a bottle from a shipmate. Drank it a weekend past with before mentioned shipmate and a few friends. It was so tasty we drank the whole bottle in a few hours. I guess it is a nicely priced rum too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Lasseter Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 To quote....... somebody.... "Funny ol' world, innit?" I just picked up a bottle... had a bad day at work and after work... So far I really like it.... smokey flavour... you can taste the molasses as an aftertaste (well,I can)... I recommend it as well... Mind you, I'm not a huge drinker, nor ummm... 'Rum Snob'...

Tartan Jack Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Black strap and black seal have a somewhat similar molasses flavor, with Seal having notably more "bite" than strap. I like them both, but generally prefer Strap for armchair sipping. -John "Tartan Jack" Wages, of South Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Black Jack Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm drinking Ginger Beer right now. Its a carbonated non-alcoholic drink, heavy on the ginger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster James Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Ginger beer! Been drinking the stuff since I was naught but a young sprout! Used to be hard to come by, Cock & Bull being the only brand about. Nowadays it's not hard to find. If you like your ginger, try some of Reed's Extra. And as to the Gosling's, that's my usual rhum of choice. But I think they're making the bottles smaller these days; they just don't seem to go as far as they used to.

Jib Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Any idea where to find Ginger Beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster James Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Liquor stores, in the mixer section you can usually find Cock & Bull. Grocery stores, especially trendy ones such as WFM and its ilk, carry Reed's. Reed's Store Locator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkyns Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Any idea where to find Ginger Beer? Check out your supermarket's Hispanic section. They generally have a brand or two. Just make sure it says ginger BEER. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

Now, that said, I've got to keep a weather eye open for Jarritos Ginger Beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Black Jack Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wherever they sell Black Seal Rum, they sell it together now as a package deal, in some places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jib Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Picked up another bottle of Black Seal Rum over the weekend. The store did not carry Ginger Beer and looked at me as if I was crazy! I will try another place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Ever had the 151 Black Seal? It'll knock Yer eyebrows off! Tried mixing it with apple cider, and cinnamon, and it was still toxic! The 80 proof is good stuff though. Matusalem Gran Reseva 15 yr. old has become my new standard. it is getting easier to find than any of the others without travelling 60 miles to an up-scale liquor specialty store.
