Well that just sucks.

All Blue Laws suck. In Indiana you can't buy any booze at TJ's on Sunday. Not even their rum cake. It's idiotic.

I know, it should have been me chewing on it, but I let the dog have a treat every now and then.

Do your neighbors not become concerned when they see you outside laying on the grass chewing a bone?

Looking good. Hopefully you had a Pens win to go along with it.

Good fences make GREAT neighbors. If LAYING on the grass is all they see, they are mostly happy. Especially when the dog is with me.

You should move to California where all the laws are great and the people are smart, upstanding citizens. Oh, wait...

Just grabbed some Plantation 20, the Plantation Pineapple, and a 1.75 of Gentleman Jack.

M_Six · 03-21-2017, 11:02 PM

Oooh, the Plantation Pineapple is gooood. Very tasty indeed.

UncleWede · 03-22-2017, 10:22 AM

I need to stay out of this thread. Found myself at the store last night, browsing the alcohol aisles, and not looking at my traditional faire of bourbon and scotch, but looking for rum. LUCKILY they didn't have anything nice

After watching the documentary "The Birth of Sake" . . . I was pleased to find a retailer just a few miles away.

It's as smooth as the 20 with just a hint of pineapple. The pineapple is stronger on the nose than it is on the palate. I poured a few shots over ice and was walking to my chair when Wifey said, "What's with the pineapple?" It's that strong.

I love pineapple. Gonna grab this.

1MOREMOD · 03-27-2017, 06:26 PM

I wanna try it also

Vincz · 03-30-2017, 06:50 AM

I don't know fellas, I didnt find the pineapple anywhere near as smooth as the 20. It's good, but no where near as refined, so to speak. You be the judge.

I tried some Kracken rum this weekend, that was pretty good but it had to be put on ice to really enjoy, not something I wanted neat.

The Plantation 20 is still by far my favorite

M_Six · 03-30-2017, 08:32 AM

I always have rum on the rocks, so I probably should have mentioned that. I've tried Kraken and it was ok with a splash of OJ, but I didn't enjoy it just over ice. Different tastes, I guess.

I do agree that Plantation 20 is still the best.

TXSTYLE · 03-30-2017, 01:52 PM

I can't even begin to tell you how enthralled I was to find Plantation 20 and share it with you all. I have had diehard Scotch and Whiskey guys try it over here assuming it would be meh. And they look are like WOW, I'm getting some of this. LOL!

M_Six · 03-31-2017, 08:16 PM

I'll be cracking open my Plantation 20 tonight.

M_Six · 04-01-2017, 12:29 AM

I've discovered a major problem with Plantation 20. It's so good that you have to be really careful you don't overdo it. Love this stuff.
