Scott, which rum was deemed most favorite?

[scottb]

The group loved the Zacapa 23 of course, then 2nd was the ED 12 and third was the Matusalem Clasico.

Cheers.

I'm bummed that I didn't make it up to Victoria while I was in Seattle a couple of weeks ago, but I can't do everything.

As for solera, I feel that term is very much over-used in the rum industry with only Santa Teresa using anything that comes close to a true solera aging system. Certainly Zacapa is good rum, but Solera, well it's more of a dynamic blending process with Solera used more for marketing than the actual process.

Glad everyone enjoyed the evening and hopefully they learned something about sugar cane spirits.

Thanks Ed,

Yeah everybody had a great time learning about the complex method of Solera. We all enjoyed the fine rums that I brought.

I'm taking the summer off from tastings, but I will be back in September for my next one.


Cheers.
