Happy St Patrick's Day! 🇮🇪☘️ Gotta have Happy St Patrick's Day! 🇮🇪☘️

Gotta have an appropriately coloured cocktail so went for a super green Matcha Dark & Stormy!

- 30ml @boutiqueyrum Signature Blend #1
- 30ml @boutiqueyrum Signature Blend #2
- 2 teaspoons Matcha Syrup (recipe below)
- 90ml ginger beer
- lime wedge for garnish

Combine all ingredients except the ginger beer in a shaker, shake with ice and pour into an ice filled glass. Top up with ginger beer, garnish and enjoy! 

To make Matcha Syrup combine 80g sugar, 60ml water and 1 table spoon/15g Matcha in a pan, heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the matcha well blended. 

Sláinte!
When you have cool friends who get you cool things When you have cool friends who get you cool things! Knowing that I like rum and Japan they found a great blend of the two for the perfect gift! 😍

I was given this bottle of Tokyo Nights Japanese Rum by two awesome friends @joblogsrum and @rumandjump 😎 !

A rum hailing from Okinawa Island, Japan 🇯🇵. At around 1000 miles southwest of Japan's capital, Tokyo, the islands find themselves in a tropical equatorial climate with conditions appealing to sugarcane growth. Sugarcane is one of the largest cultivated crops within the region. 

The rum is made from locally grown sugarcane and distilled in a copper-pot still. No added sweeteners or flavourings, just a pleasant unaged agricultural rum! 

Also a funky holographic embossed label too! 🤩
Tasting notes and some cocktails inbound! 🍸🥃

Many thanks and cheers chums!

Brilliant night at @blackparrot_bar yesterday! Su Brilliant night at @blackparrot_bar yesterday! Superb cocktails masterfully crafted and dispensed by @claphampingu & @fionka92 !

It was a bit of a @ninefolddistillery shindig with a special cocktail menu (last pic) putting the Ninefold rums to great use! That daiquiri was spot on! 

Got to meet up with a few regular rum cohorts and to meet Dr. Kit Carruthers, the chap putting in all the hard work at Ninefold!

Good booze and company = a lot of fun! RumFam is the best fam!

Cheers!

New rum time! Barrel Aged Pure Single Rum - Editi New rum time!

Barrel Aged Pure Single Rum - Edition #2 from @ninefolddistillery

I purchased a bottle as I really enjoyed the sample I had recently (many thanks Kit!), I think there are still a few available so head on ever to their site if you fancy getting your own!

I'll be looking forward to revisiting this one at length to see if I can pick out any more qualities upon further exposure! I'm also eager to do a side by side with some of the Barrel Aged Pure Single Rum - Edition #1 I have still. Cheers!

...

Previous thoughts on Edition #2:

• Nose: fruity aromas of nearly ripe banana, tropical pineapple and orange along with rich raisins and sultanas. Sweet elements of vanilla cream custard, fruit cake and Quality Street toffee pennies.

• Palate: sweet butterscotch sauce, velvety chocolate, a rich oak element as well as some outlier hints of orange, shortbread biscuits and a subtle spiciness.

Ramu & Rum! Picked up a bottle of @theduppyshare Ramu & Rum!

Picked up a bottle of @theduppyshare white recently, been trying it in a few different things! Also a new local convenience store opened not too long ago near me and when I popped in the other day they had a selection of Sangaria drinks so I grabbed a Ramune soda with the intention of mixing the two up!

- 60ml Duppy Share White
- 100ml Ramune soda

Don't think this really needs 'instructions' but anyway -

Add some ice to a glass, pour in the rum and soda, give it a stir, enjoy!

Hadn't had a Ramune in years and the last was the more iconic Codd-neck bottle with the glass ball stopper that you have to pop down to open.

This version had a lemonade/cream soda/bubble gum like flavour to it (though not too potent/overly sickly) and went okay with the sweet, fruity and somewhat spicy elements of the Duppy White.

Probably better on a hot summer's day rather than a sombre winter's afternoon, one to revisit in the future!

Cheers!

Another tasty drink first had over the Christmas p Another tasty drink first had over the Christmas period - a Melontai! 

Got told about this from @rumandjump and with the Mai Tai being one of my favourite cocktails I had to give it a go!

Based off the classic Mai Tai recipe but subtracts a few sweeter things for some meloncello!

The result was super tasty and will definitely be doing more rounds of these!

Melontai - 

30ml @boutiqueyrum Signature Blend 1
30ml @boutiqueyrum Signature Blend 2
30ml lime juice
10ml orgeat 
15ml @dolcecilentomeloncello

Combine in a shaker with crushed ice, shake well and dirty dump into your glass. Top up with more crushed ice of needed and suitably garnish. Enjoy!

Cheers!
Time to try this new drop from @ninefolddistillery Time to try this new drop from @ninefolddistillery ! 🥃

A wonderful dusky aureate rum, having an inviting aroma with the duality of a sweet and piquant flavour!

On the nose I get fruity aromas of nearly ripe banana, tropical pineapple and orange along with rich raisins and sultanas. Sweet elements of vanilla cream custard, fruit cake and Quality Street toffee pennies.

Sipping away at this Ninefold rum I'm getting sweet butterscotch sauce, velvety chocolate, a rich oak element as well as some outlier hints of orange, shortbread biscuits and a subtle spiciness. 

A lingering sweet warmth remains leaving your palate thinking "that was rather good, time for another sip". It is very easily quaffed!

This has what I think a lot of people would refer to as the Ninefold profile and brings with it further nuanced rummy goodness that I can only put down to the distillers proficiency and the increased aging period, which is a minimum of 21 months for this bottling versus 12 months for the #1 edition and the resting period of the unaged. 

If you like the unaged pure single rum Ninefold put out or got to try the #1 edition that came out in 2020 I'm certain you'll enjoy this too! 

It's available to order on the 28th of this month, I know I'll be hitting that F5 key Friday morning!

Cheers!
