This company is complete trash and they fucking hate you.

[@ckorhonen72]

I'm quite the rum guy and the best thing about rums is they are so incredible and diverse, and they cost a fraction of whiskeys because they are slept on how good many of them are. I would recommend rums from Foursquare, Clairin agricole rums are a really fun adventure into weird and wonderful, and there are so many other great brands and distilleries out there, from the Caribbean to Africa, to Europe and South America. And what makes rums so unique is they are the most diverse spirit out there. You can have white, gold, aged, dark, overproofed, agricole, etc. which you don't see such a variety in any other spirits. Explore and enjoy!

[@SgtSwaggr]

YES! Some Jamaican rum getting some love! There is no other spirit in the world like high ester Jamaican rum, truly mind blowing. Would recommend the Hampden 8 Marks Collection, they have released all eight of their house "marks" in single box so you can comparatively taste them.

[@DB-uv1st]

Second that recommendation!

[@bdwilcox]

They have released two 8 Marks Collections so far: one un-aged and another aged 1 year in a barrel.

Wray & Nephew white Overproof was not discontinued it's just having a shortage due to local environmental conditions and other issues at their facility. It's having a Chartreuse moment is all.

I am a rum guy, my entire collection is rum. It’s great to see some exploration from you guys. Beautiful rums

Yep same! My favorite so far has been Bumbu. Love the banana flavor in there, goes down super smooth

[@christopherpeek2647]

Do you have a bottle of Gracias Madre spiced rum

[@markg7508]

@ I do not, I doubt it’s available where I am.

[@picabobacip]

Very cool to have you talking about cachaça! I went to Republica Dominica a few weeks ago and I have been introduced to the Caïpirinha cocktail. They were using rum at the resort but I learned that the traditional way of doing the Caïpirinha is using cachaça. I got a bottle of that Leblon cachaça 3 weeks ago and it's great. For those of you searching for an alternative to the Mojito, the Caïpirinha is a great refreshing summer cocktail!

[@sajanpalanki3950]

0:46 He says that it doesn't say Hampden anywhere on the bottle right after showing a closeup of it literally saying Hampden Distillery at the bottom of the bottle lmao. Great video and now I'm very interested in this rum.

[@Joey-ro9yx]

'bout time Moose shows up. He was awesome when I visited Andalusia. Need to visit again that was 2+ years ago.

I am delighted that rocks ↔️ flowers is becoming an accepted tasting note. 😁

[@bru_bru21023]

Is this dude Daniel’s brother who made a wrong turn heading to Tennessee and ended up in Jamaica? Because seriously, his rum knowledge is *on point*, almost like he and Daniel secretly enrolled in a class called, “How to Sound Like You’re an Expert in Alcohol Without Actually Trying.” low key miss hearing Rex and Daniel saying Here's to fighting, stealing, and drinking. If you fight, may you fight for a friend. If you steal, may you steal a woman's heart. And if you drink, may you drink with us!" Because let’s face it, that’s just the only way to do it. Cheers to that!

[@steveharris1695]

Puget Sound Rum Company and their experimentation is what got me into whiskey. My go to is their Bottled in Bond Rum47.

[@nwill2355]

This video is making my gulliver remember all the different rum concoctions I tried in my youth. I really liked Chila Orchata Cream Rum that I tried not so long ago. It's SO GREAT that the Tribe keeps opening up our minds and pallets to new flavour profiles and distilling processes! Love you folks! 😊

[@WhiskeyMathanDearg]

Mooooose, such a knowledgeable and passionate individual! Oh…and Ronnie we like you too 😁

[@gweebara]

I love ❤ a fairy forest 🧚🌲

[@StuartHetzler]

rum is amazing because it has a rich history, diverse stylings, can taste fantastic, AND it tends to be an absolute fraction of the cost of whiskey. you can get yourself a really nice bottle of rum for like 40 bucks. We've really been enjoying the El Dorado 12 in our house lately.

[@Elmer_RedEagle]

Its so adorable when Princess Bri's mind just gets stuck on something lol

[@scott88]

Looove seeing Rum on a whiskey channel. Great cross overs. Hampden is the best!

[@kristoferbochat]

Man I missed you guys. My feed has been overwhelmed with crap and I lost track of you. Hooray for the Fairy Forest.

[@joethesampleguy3414]

I have an El Salvadoran rum from Rolling Fork that is just spectacular. Cheers!

[@Succumbed2Rum]

Welcome to the Rum rabbit-hole! It's a level up to Whiskey IMO. So much variety and flavor profiles to explore. Also - tiki drinks.

[@doesntmatter46]

Would have loved to seen you guys try some Rhum Agricole from Martinique as well as some of the historic wooden pot stills making Demerara Rum in Guyana like Port Morant or Enmore.

[@wtfjackbbq49]

I am a rum or gin guy. I like exploring the different new to me flavors in both, but I always end up keeping R.L. Seals on hand. Its probably not as interesting a rum as you would be looking for on your channel, but it is a great rum to keep on hand in my opinion.

[@virior]

One correction on cachaça. It is not made with only sugar cane juice, but the whole plant mash, like a grappa. If it only has the juice it is called aguardente, to be called cachaça it has to be made with the whole plant mash.

[@mikewicked.x]

Brianna really channeling Louise Belcher from Bob's Burgers here.

[@portlandtransplant]

Eight Bells rum by New England Distilling is a favorite of mine. It is rum aged in whiskey barrels. The sweetness of rum with nose and notes of whiskey from a small Maine distillery.

[@timk.9836]

If you like sweet, Diplomatico is from Venezuela and i love it on the rocks.

[@TheInfinityzeN]

Rum has always been my go to. Lucked out when I retired and ended up buying a house that is only a few minutes drive from Wildcat Brothers. "Louisiana Style Rums" are made with sugar cane juice as the primary sugar, with the possible addition of small quantities of crystalized sugar, molasses, or fruit. Many of them are aged on wood as well.

[@noddyninetythree4771]

Balcones regular Rum is my all-time favorite of the genre. For years I've said that "it's the best rum a whiskey drinker will ever have while also being the best whisky a rum drinker will'. for the longest time it was nearly impossible to find and i purchased a ticket to a "punch" class at the distillery just so I could drink the rum straight. I still believe that I came up with the best 'punch' of the night.

[@ama168william]

The Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum is still available in my area.

[@act4306]

Where you at?

[@noddyninetythree4771]

@@act4306 it's all over ACT... which is Waco's airport. so it's all over Waco. just saw 2 cases on the shelf at Twins... minus the one bottle i left with.

[@TimBaker]

This was such a fun episode. I love it!

[@Mark1JT]

Wray & Nephew is one of my favourite rums of all time. It's a ripe banana explosion and in a good cola is a whole other level. Still readily available here in Nova Scotia.

[@jberks1213]

The last time you guys did a rum episode you had a bottle called Indelible by Foursquare out of Barbados. I found that bottle and now have several other special releases from them that grace the shelves in my home amongst the whiskey. They are phenomenal.

[@dansullivan8968]

Small fact, early American rum barrels were made from Chestnut tress which were abundant and it leads to an different profile.

[@Aaron48219]

3:45 Haven't been able to get Wray & Nephew here in Michigan for about a year and a half now. Store customers have just given up asking for it at this point. Haven't heard any solid explanations, the most credible though being is the dunder pits at the distallery flooding, something due to the rainfall they had and no legal way of disposing of the overflow. tl;dr, they have to rebuild due to flooding. 14:00 Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 is a fantastic sipper if you're a whiskey or bourbon sipper, made from pressed sugar cane.I highly recommend it! Also Flor de Cana Centenario 18 at around the same price point.

[@chrisdeterman3247]

Brianna has totally taken over Rex's spot as the mischievous one.

[@DM-kv9kj]

I think she did that from the start really.

[@fireborn9065]

Smith & Cross rum is one of my favorites. It's like putting buttered caramel on a barrel stave and slamming it onto your tongue. 😜

[@meltedwing]

Plantation 5 year is my go to rum. Super delicious.

[@coltonbaysinger]

Just started getting into rum and it's quickly becoming my go-to! I used to think it was just some cheap stuff you threw into a coke now and then, but boy was I wrong.

[@Connor_Crain]

Most places in my area don’t have a huge rum selection but Barboncourt is my favorite that I’m able to get regularly

[@briancardinali]

I love Whiskey but Rum is my Jam. If you want grassy go with a Clairin Sajous. For a funky Jamaican go Doctor Bird or Rum Fire. My favorite sipper that is deep dark and rich like a good bourbon go with Guyana with a Demerara rum like Hamilton Single Cask, ElDorado 15. Dos Maderas is also a great sip. For a cachaça go with ypióca reserva. Enjoy!!!

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

I got back into rum around a decade ago. I had my share of rum as a young man (decades ago), but it was like 90% Bacardi, the rest being Myers or Ronrico, but always the base, mass market stuff, and it was typically dark rum for rum & coke. I got more into wine and stopped buying rum by around 27 years of age, with the exception of the occasional mojado or other such cocktail. When I began doing some serious travelling, I made it a point to taste food and beverages from the places I visited. It was a trip to Ireland that got me started on whiskey, later backed up by a trip to Scotland. When I took a trip to Dominican Republic around a decade or so back, I asked the bartender at the resort for their best example of DR rum. I was not impressed, but I did decide to rekindle my relationship with rum and seek out better choices than what I had in my youth, and particularly ones that stood on their own and not just in cocktails. What I found that I really liked was Mount Gay Black Barrel rum, and I have been buying that whenever a hankering for rum has arisen, but I should broaden my horizons, and I will look for the Hampden diamond h logo.

[@danielmarschinke]

I didn’t know wray and nephews is done done. That stuff is amazing and was always super affordable. It’s one of my favorite mixers. Sad day

[@corvusonis7974]

I don`t know where the info about closing is coming. They had issues in 2024 but they fixed everything and invested in new still, they plan to grow in 2025.

[@pikekeke]

I think this is just a weird rumour people made up when they had some issues keeping up with production in 2024 due to weather. Instead of just looking up to see what is going people go "oh what if they're no longer making this rum", and then that spreads. The overproof rum is also the only thing they make, so for them to stop producing this means that Wray and nephew entirely would have to shut down, which 5 seconds of googling shows you they haven't. This guy thinking that the overproof rum is just one of multiple products they make is making this whole vid kinda sus.

[@ian3314]

This guy is so amazing and so fun. Thanks for this awesome video!

[@mmeiselph7234]

Moose is awesome.

[@perseusfeuerborn6746]

Fantastic vid! Love me some rum

[@mattg5852]

I love aged rum…. I love it so much…. And unlike whiskey I don’t get a headache the same night if I drink to much of it

[@chuckbryant363]

The Havana Club rums are affordable and excellent. The 3 year white is great for mojitos and the 7 is a great sipper.

[@jaimeisreal]

Q: Has Wray & Nephew white Overproof Rum been discontinued? A: No, Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum has not been discontinued, but production has been impacted by heavy rainfall and other factors as of 2024.

[@ItBe_Kanti]

Yay my favorite spirit, rum!

[@B1gC4st]

Rum is a really fun category, especially the ones who do things like whiskey guys. Holmes Cay and Plantation are great if you want to discover stuff from weird places. So essentially three kinds of rum? Molasses, Rum Agricole (from fresh sugar cane juice), and Cachaca (from fermented Sugar Cane juice). Source material would be Rum Agricole (French Style) because Cachaca is fermented before distillation. Feel like a lot was missed here by not having a Foursquare release.

[@chriskola3822]

Cachaça reminds me of rum mixed with a bit of tequila. Lovely drink. Caipirinha is a dangerously drinkable drink.

[@ericryden4273]

Not a Rum guy, never knew anyone who is... but now I want to know more and go out and experiment. Thank you for the great episode.

[@MadeForNothing.]

It is better than whiskey that's for sure. You can actually tell the difference between brands. All whiskey tastes the same.

[@eltigre5265]

Privateer Navy Proof is an all time favorite. also anything coming out of worthy park

[@CarterZero1]

I really enjoyed the little knowledge bomb right there in the middle of the video.

[@guicaon]

Barrels are a big thing in cachaça, aging can happen in jequitibá-rosa, jequitibá-branco, castanheira, oak, cumaru, bálsamo, amendoim, ipê, amburana, grápia, ariribá, jatobá, freijó, canela-sassafrás, araucária, eucalyptus, jackfruit tree... Many of these tree species are endangered, including amburana (critically endangered).

[@brettAnichols]

My favorite rum is Plantation O.F.T.D. I haven't tried many rums. But that's not likely to change. Any time it's up to me to purchase a rum, I don't see myself buying anything else.

[@danieldoyle6305]

Love when you guys go exploring the wide world's of other spirits!

[@hell123fire1]

Im verrrry surprised the rum fan didnt have you try a Caroni. You were saying in this the dundery hamilton was like the scotch of the rum world...try a caroni and i bet youll update your thoughts on that. A small tidbit on the distillery its from trinidad and shuttered its doors in 2002 so all bottles today are the last of a dead breed which is sad. The storage barrels were purchased by many finishers who then aged them in different barrel offerings and bottled at varrying abv. On avg. Most batches are only a few hundred on offer to the market. But comparativly to any aged whiskey (if it were to share this story) these bottles *can* be aquired for a verry reasonable cost. Caroni are singular in nose & palate and are a somewhat extreme departure from the norm you would find off the shelf in the rum market. But they are truly amazing and a fleeting chance at tasting a piece of history.

[@Nowheremt]

I recommend Probitas.

[@wotsken]

It's all about the fairy forest for me !

[@DB-uv1st]

Great video!!

[@PostNukeProductions]

Making a rum video without mentioning Agricole? Blasphemy! But seriously, I'm always happy to see some interesting spirits exploration. If you want to try an Agricole, I recommend Rhum JM Terroir Volcanique. Just a touch of that grassy, green flavor like you were talking about with the cachaca, backed up with a good dose of baking spice and fruit from the heavily charred barrels. Really nice stuff if you can find it!

[@RedbeardInBluegrass]

See if you can borrow him on the weekends, just leave him unsupervised in the distillery and see what insane stuff comes out lmao

[@numanuma20]

Rolling fork rum is a Starlight distillery brand. I’m the rum guy. I like it more than whiskey. Rhum Clement is one I like. It’s an agricole rum which is made from cane juice giving you like grass notes.

[@louisvillebourbonbuzz]

It’s not a Starlight Distillery brand. Just aged in their warehouses.

[@Ebbyman413]

"Fairy Forest" was definitely not on my 'Briana's Tasting Notes' BINGO card... did not see that one coming!

[@davidkloeckener7446]

There needs to be t-shirts with Briana’s tasting notes……..especially Fairy Forest hahaha

[@ics18]

Let me try (and probably fail miserably) to teach you guys how to pronounce cachaça: Ca - The C is that "K" sound in Car, the A is more the sound in stArt (never with the R tho). Cha - The Ch is the sound of SH in SHoot with the A of stArt. Ça - The Ç is like the S in See and the A is also the one in stArt. Idk if it was good, but I tried. trying to summarize: kashassa, but all A's sound like the one in stArt (without the rrrr sound after the A).

[@joyfuflower]

This is good timing as bourbon will probably be hit by tariffs or even pulled off the shelves here in Canada soon. It sucks as a whiskey lover but we're nothing if not stubborn, comes with the cold lol

[@billeverett4090]

I don’t know much about rum but I have had the opportunity to try a couple dozens over the years and there are some great ones out there - typically quite a bit cheaper than a comparable bourbon. Wider range of flavors/character than bourbon I think (though probably not scotch). I hadn’t thought about the tariff impact until your comment but for me, who lives in the US, they might drive down prices on the bourbon (how much I have no idea). It’s a pretty obvious target for retaliatory tariffs and given the aging process, not easy to ramp production down if global supply is impacted.

[@MrHavy09]

So has anyone tried slipping dunder into a whiskey experiment just to see what it does? It seems similar to using your extras in the second batch of whatever you distill to wring the extra flavour; but you’re waiting a lot longer to put it back in. I know they keep saying you’re not supposed to do these things in whiskey; but I still want to explore what happens when the world gets weird
