Lady Alyx Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I always go by the rum section in the store to see what new rum comes onto the store shelves. The other day I spied a 'new' Captain Morgan. It is Captain Morgan 'Tattoo'. Of course I bought it...and of course I tried it right away...mixing up a rummer/coke for my best girlfriend and meself....and I was surprised I liked it very much! It has a hearty taste and it is almost black in the bottle. My favortite rum is Sailor Jerry..it used to be the Captain, but this new one took me by surprise. Also I have tried one called 3 Palms and it also has a hearty taste as if you could taste the wood from the rum casks. Has anyone else tried these..? ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx

Maybe ye could flask a tad and be sharin wit us don't ya know? Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Lady Alyx Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 I would love to, but am not making it to that fair...it's a bit too far away for any of my folk to travel to...perhaps next time! Thar sure'll be some new fangled one out by that time...wink! Anyone in the Los Angeles area planning a Pirate Halloween party ? ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I very recently tried TATTOO and I liked it very much. Maybe a little too much......

Sir Eric Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Tattoo may be alright mixed, but straight up (which is how I usually take me rum) it tastes too much like Jagremeister... which makes sense as that's the market it's supposed to compete in. And, as I don't like overly sweet drinks OR licoriche, I have to pass on the Tattoo. NOAH: Wow... the whole world flooded in just less than a month, and us the only survivors!

Lady Alyx Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 I have not swigged it down straight yet...however it does have some after tastes...me beau tried it straight last night and he said fruity...I tend to think it has some type of herbal taste as well...It reminds me of root beer or maybe horehound. ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
The Doctor Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 You nailed it on the taste, Eric. I couldn't stand the stuff. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Monterey Jack Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I grabbed th' first bottle out o' the box when it showed up at my local store ; I like the captain but this one tasted too much like alcoholic Dr. Pepper to me. Monterey Jack "yes I am a pirate 200 years too late, the cannons don't thunder, there's nothin to plunder, I'm an over-40 victim of fate, arrivin too late.........."
Jonathan Hawks Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Ana ya can gets a nice Tattoo bomb ta drynk it out a. They be grand. Shoots anything that moves!!
Red Bess Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I've had some around for a while -- I haven't found it to be a good mix yet (I'm a Pussers & Pepsi With Lime gal myself) but a little on the rocks makes a nice nightcap -- probaby because it reminds me of Nyquil. Anyway, once this bottle is gone, I doubt I'll purchase another. Ladies in Scarlet: Piratical Art and Accessories
Rummy3 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I filled a flask with it (several times over) this weekend past and every pyrate that shared it seemed to enjoy it and want more!
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I agree with Rummy the likes of it were to the liking (well and licking) since you asked if it spilled it got licked up as well and I liked it fine. I did find that morgans spiced mixed on the half with tatoo and a smidge of vanilla rum did make a quite nice blend of flavors straight up! By the by, has anyone heard of dogfish rum?

Deadeye Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 By the by, has anyone heard of dogfish rum? I have heard of it, Diego, but never has it passed me lips. Is it worth the while? - 10 Fathoms Deep on the Road to Hell... Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum...
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 By the by, has anyone heard of dogfish rum? I have heard of it, Diego, but never has it passed me lips. Is it worth the while? I gotta say it is so worth not opening just because the bottle top (cork) is plasticized with a fuse hanging out of it you know like a (sp) mallotov coctail it's called honey rum aged in oak barrels and is quite the gold color looking alittle thicker (like a liquoure) I cant replace it if I opens it and loves it is my dilemma..... Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Rummy3 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I found a little history on it Brown Honey Rum: A double-distilled, amber rum aged on American oak and wildflower honey. Dark and smooth, this rum has a subtle woody character from the oak aging and a touch of sweetness derived from the honey. Available for distribution in DE, MD &PA here: Dogfish Head
Patrick Hand Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Finnaly tried some Tattoo........ didn't realy care for it.... to much like cough syurp..... (course we DID drink it all..... "waste not") Think I'll just stick ter th' rum flavored rum........
Durty Mick Moon Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 me own humble opinion....Captain Morgan's Private Stock be fairly good, especially in egg nog (try it: 1/3 Morgan's Private Stock n' 2/3 egg nog, a good pick-me-up fer breakfast) but the Planter's XO Rum is still the best I be tastin'....click here: Planter's XO Rum ....$19.99 here, a deal.......
Lady Seahawke Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Just an FYI ...this month's "Caribbean Travel and Life" has some great articles on Rum, informative and interesting.

Lady Alyx Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 Have I mentioned to you all Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum? One of my fav's ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Blackfoot Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Oh yes, Sailor Jerry's is dangerous for me! We had a couple of bottles and went from sips to drinking it like water. I don't remember too much after that! It is good! http://shop.store.yahoo.com/randalls/rws26088.html ]
