) had a good time, thought I'd tell ya a little about it.Anyway, it was cloudy and drizzled for three full days while we were there, I must of dragged some of the British weather over there with me. When it rains for that long and you have travelled roughly 48,000 miles expecting to spend most of the time swimming in the sea and playing beach volley ball you quite quickly get bored! So by day three I had read all the literature I had taken with me and finished off all the levels of the ridiculous iPhone game "plants vs zombies". so... exasperated I went to the bar at midday and started looking through the spirits menu and found an extensive list of Rums and whiskys which I decided to work my way through on this rainy afternoon. ( It was all inclusive or "free" as I saw it and it was raining so why not right?)
I have not bought any commercial spirit at home since I got my first still a couple of years ago and when I go out I drink beer almost exclusively so I was interested to try some of these Spirits neat and see how they compare to my own offerings.
WOW! my rum destroys these things! Iv been making rum for about 6 months now and thought my rum was very drinkable but sorta average since the only thing I have compared it to is a couple of bottles of super top shelf carribean Rums from my dads house that he bought on a cruise last year ($60+ per bottle cockspur reserve and Havana club barrel proof). These expensive Rums taste similar to mine but the oaky, vanilla, sweet aroma coming out of the glass blows my offerings away.... For now at least.
I tried appletons especial - chemical/plastic taste
Bacardi white - heads
Bacardi anejo - almost no flavor or aroma
Matusalem - can't remember what I thought of this one...don't remember it being good but maybe I was starting to feel a little under the weather by this time of my sampling afternoon...
I had no idea how good my product was getting! I'm proud of myself suddenly
While away I also sampled many a tequila
Here is some advice for anyone visiting Mexico... Always ask for the good tequila!!! Our hotel stocked about a dozen different tequila bottles of varying quality. The best white that they had was smooth and peppery and nice in a shot, I even bought a bottle! However, on the last night in the disco I was given a couple of shots of something that tasted a little like tequila and a lot like heads from a vm run! I didn't get terribly drunk that night but suffered all the next day with the worst hangover I have had in years! God damned cheap ass bar man letting me put that junk in my mouth...
Anyways, apart from being offered cocaine a few times more that i would generally like it was a beautiful place and I would recommend it to anyone
