There are wonderfull standard singles (I don’t know if standard, basic or other word), a exemple is Edradour 10 Ys (in my amateur vision), none like Cragganmore.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />SócratesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-33988540138563340862016-08-12T23:12:46.602-03:002016-08-12T23:12:46.602-03:00The Mt.

I also would recommend Flor de Cana 7, Cruzan Single Barrel, and English Harbour 5 year as very reasonably priced sipping rums. Also, Appleton 12 year is an absolute steal, if you enjoy Jamaican rums. But like Islay whisky or Northwest IPAs, Jamaican rum is very much an aquired taste.Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15559268757060815000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-45579667871340740122016-08-12T11:38:17.213-03:002016-08-12T11:38:17.213-03:00I agree with the comment on rum.

The latter is surprisingly dry.Jason Deblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305087714773608306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-76503893697160981922016-08-11T23:03:48.768-03:002016-08-11T23:03:48.768-03:00Absolutely.

Many aged rums are also a tremendous value, if one enjoys the various styles.Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15559268757060815000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-32176518365052258262016-08-10T08:50:40.320-03:002016-08-10T08:50:40.320-03:00The prices are soaring where I live too.

I'm not sure if you're seeing the same trend in NB, but over here the price of single malts has gone bananas in past year or two. I'm going to have to start reserving the good stuff for special occasions...Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15559268757060815000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-75491119036920495002016-08-07T04:02:23.210-03:002016-08-07T04:02:23.210-03:00Try the 25 year Old as well!!!!!!!1Try the 25 year Old as well!!!!!!!1Michael Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662336838381633380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-67558956398607641672016-08-03T13:11:51.482-03:002016-08-03T13:11:51.482-03:00Great review as always!Great review as always!Glen Mhor Whiskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332265190121712442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-7101857293449057032016-07-31T14:53:17.105-03:002016-07-31T14:53:17.105-03:00Good review.
