Why do you hate people so?

I don't hate people. Bundaberg Rum is awesome.

You're welcome.

I guess we all have different tastes. And clearly some people enjoy that flavour of the waste dump at a sugar cane refinery that only Bundy offers.

Only Republicans hate Bundaberg Rum.

Been drinking more whisky this year. Still a wine man first, tbh. It's very different, f**king hard to switch your palate and I don't really want to fully switch it anyway.

Anyway the one I wanted to get any other whisky merkins on to is Finlaggan Port Cask, if you can find it. It's an Islay. I love Speyside, but I also love Islay and oddly it's often the easiest to drink with my vino palate? I think the smoke masks the heat.

This Finlaggan shit rocks. Peated Islay, finished in proper Portuguese port casks. Ever had heavily smoked bacon with pancakes and some sort of sweet fruity sauce, maybe berries? That's kinda what this tastes like. So good. Smoky and sweet with a really dry finish.

I've also just ordered a (3 bottle) case of Laphroaig Lore, which even as a Speyside fan is my all time fave whisky...

The true and only valid use for Bundy Rum

It's a fight potion for when you gotta bust some heads

Didn't mind it, but those rappers have overhyped it

Had a friends birthday at Hugos at Manly last week and i ordered one of these

TOMMY GUN MARGARITA​

Espolòn tequila, shaken with lime & house-made
caramelised pineapple, herb & jalapeno shrub.

It was sensational, the jalapeno gave it a real bite but the caramelised pineapple counted the hotness, absolutely beautiful, looking forward to having another one there some time.
