Barrell Rum Private Select "Ryan's Taters - Rumbo" Review
This is definitely the most unique thing I have been a part of with this whole picking thing. Rum can be a real naughty girl because some people absolutely love it and then some people want to throw it against a wall in pure, unadulterated rage.
We picked this when we were visiting Barrell Craft Spirits back in May and we were a bit...how do I say...BURNED THE FUCK OUT ON BOURBON! After a while you want an ice cold Miller Lite that you can chug while eating stadium nachos. Anyway we asked Joe (the Barrell Craft Spirits guy) if we could do something different and he got giddy and skipped away only to return with some rum. We tried it and exploded with rumspiration. This is a blend of four different rums from Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana and Martinique.
In da nose I got sour apple and mango that has a tad of that Jamaican funk. Jamaican funk is this taste/odor thing comprised of rubber, esters and sulphur. It sounds exotic and terrible - it is. In da mouf I got orange, coffee and overripe banana.
I'm extremely proud of this and want you all to spend all your dirty ass money on this bottle. I want you to drink it and think of me wearing nothing but a tank top. Could you imagine? Ew. Anyway buy this rum at Ryan's Liquor.
