"Maxprop" wrote in message Nope. Now, Cappy, re-read my post and tell me where, if anywhere, I implied that it is "too strong" or "too manly" for my "delicate palate." To the contrary, I'm perfectly confident I can spot you shot for shot with anything, 151proof or not. That... I doubt you could acomplish Max..... very few people can go shot for shot with me and win a gavity race. The very fact you stated that the alcohol content masks the taste of the rum is a certain indicator of your inability to handle the higher octane ratings with grace. But I prefer rum to taste like rum, not like mineral spirits or paint thinner. It's a flavor issue, not one of strength. Balderdash.... Lambs is very smooth, rich, mellow and I prefer it's taste to the likes of Barcardi. I don't drink the Bracardi 151 due to the fact it tastes terrible. It's not an issue of strenght... it's an issue of flavour... and obviously your 'delicate palatte' cannot tolerate the strenght.of this much prized rum. In college I used to drink 190 proof grain alcohol (Everclear) straight from the bottle. But somewhere along the line I learned to imbibe for the pleasure of the spirit, not for the purpose of killing brain cells and puking on my friends' shoes. Now you see.... that just doesn't happen to me. I get drunk but I'm still far from adolesent activities you recounted upon your inebreation history. It could be you have never learned to pace yourself, or that you have no respect for the capabilities of the liquid you are consuming..... or maybe you might be sufferring a 'wet brain' syndrome. If alcohol content translates into great flavor, full-body, and manliness, as you chest-thumpingly claim, why then do the vast majority of superb single-malt scotches range around 80 proof? To make it paletable to women as well as men? Why are the very finest sipping bourbons and ryes the same? See above... Why don't they make 150 proof cognacs and armegnacs? Those damned Frenchies..... Only the Brits, for some arcane reason, choose to distill such high alcohol content rums, but at a price: flavor. No Max... the price is the seperation of Pansies and Men. I understand this offends your sensibilities... seeing you are squarely placed in the Fancy Boy Corral. They simply don't taste anywhere near as good as lower proof rums. I heard this from ...Women! For getting blasted, they are almost without peer, if that's what floats your boat. You seem to believe that imbibing mass quantities of ethanol equates with chest hair and balls. Whatever. I don't drink to get blasted..... I drink because I enjoy the taste of the beverage. I also believe you get better bang for the buck in buying a higher proof alcohol.... let's face it Max.... just drink less or mix it lighter. So, doesn't that chest beating you did seem a bit silly now? Absolutely not...... oh look... you just dropped your hanky. Now why don't you run along and discuss your situation with the other Dandies..... they might share your delicate tastes. CM |

Overproof wrote: Nope.... http://www.drinks.co.uk/acatalog/LAM..._RUM_70cl.html 151 proof / 75% ALCOHOL I'd like to try thestuff on the label you submitted though...... A friend brought a bottle over, saw overproff on it and figured that was it, smooth, aged in a oak cask for 5 + years. 151's ok, but I prefer to give the angles their share. Joe CM "Joe" wrote in message ups.com... Is this it? http://www.rumportal.com/distilleryimages/rfro.jpg Joe Googles fault if I posted this twice. |

"katysails" wrote in message Uh, Max..the Brits aren't really known for having a good sense of flavor. Their food is very bland....unless it's been influenced by Indian curry cooking. Scones are about as palatable as eating wallpaper paste unless a pint of jam is poured on them to disguise the fact that there's no flavor. And most everything is cooked to rags.....so...do we make the conjecture that 150 proof alcohol has damaged the nerve endings in their tongues, or do we think that maybe they're compensating somehow? Maybe the quicker you get drunk the less you have to worry about what your food tastes like? Or perhaps if one gets immediately drunk, one doesn't have to eat at all, exsanguinating gastric ulcers notwithstanding. Max |

"katysails" wrote in message Proves nothing...we were talking about the Brits, not Max...Max has a rather odd but eclectic palate for many things...he's one of those people that enjoys the experience and isn't adverse to trying anything new or different...and he shares his experiences with others...gee...now I'll have to find something insulting to say about him to balance this off.... That's okay--I believe the balance sheet is skewed strongly in favor of insults currently. :-) Max |

I doubt you could acomplish Max..... very few people can go shot for shot with me and win a gavity race. The very fact you stated that the alcohol content masks the taste of the rum is a certain indicator of your inability to handle the higher octane ratings with grace. Balderdash, you Belgian Cannuck. It must be all that dry, cold air up there giving you the misimpression that you have a tolerance for ethanol. But I prefer rum to taste like rum, not like mineral spirits or paint thinner. It's a flavor issue, not one of strength. Balderdash.... Hey, that's my word, you plagiarist . . . Lambs is very smooth, rich, mellow and I prefer it's taste to the likes of Barcardi. I prefer the taste of gasoline, kerosene, and whale vomit to Bacardi. No sane rum drinker would be otherwise. I don't drink the Bracardi 151 due to the fact it tastes terrible. It's not an issue of strenght... it's an issue of flavour... and obviously your 'delicate palatte' cannot tolerate the strenght.of this much prized rum. I've not tried Lamb's, but I have drunk Lemonhart, which is purported to be a better English rum of higher alcohol content. A rite of passage in my fraternity was for one's brothers to buy straight shots of 151 proof Lemonhart rum upon one's 21st birthday, either until the birthday idiot passed out or cried "uncle." I drank 25 shots before ending up face down on the floor, after which they took me to the local horsepistol and had my stomach pumped, which was entirely unnecessary as it seemed to be purging itself quite nicely in the car. I still haven't forgiven the *******s for using MY car. In college I used to drink 190 proof grain alcohol (Everclear) straight from the bottle. But somewhere along the line I learned to imbibe for the pleasure of the spirit, not for the purpose of killing brain cells and puking on my friends' shoes. Now you see.... that just doesn't happen to me. I get drunk but I'm still far from adolesent activities you recounted upon your inebreation history. It could be you have never learned to pace yourself, or that you have no respect for the capabilities of the liquid you are consuming..... or maybe you might be sufferring a 'wet brain' syndrome. None of the above. Today, a mature man of . . . well, never mind . . . I'm fully capable of imbibing mass quantities of ethanol-bearing fluids with relative impunity. Provided I drink straight liquor and eschew mixers, especially those of a sugary nature, I can absorb a surprising quantity of said fluids and still maintain a modicum of alertness and coherency. Interspersed with a small amount of food, I can drink all night and still sing the Notre Dame fight song verbatim 'til the cows come home. And some of those cows are damn big. If alcohol content translates into great flavor, full-body, and manliness, as you chest-thumpingly claim, why then do the vast majority of superb single-malt scotches range around 80 proof? To make it paletable to women as well as men? Tsk, tsk. Methinks we have a genderophobe in our midsts. I know women who can drink you under the proverbial table, you lambic-loving supra-Yooper. Why are the very finest sipping bourbons and ryes the same? See above... Why don't they make 150 proof cognacs and armegnacs? Those damned Frenchies..... . . . who, normally void of reasonability and rationality, had the decidedly uncharacteristic good sense to distill their national spirits at the proper alcoholic content. Only the Brits, for some arcane reason, choose to distill such high alcohol content rums, but at a price: flavor. No Max... the price is the seperation of Pansies and Men. I understand this offends your sensibilities... seeing you are squarely placed in the Fancy Boy Corral. Call it what you will, but we routinely eat Canadians for lunch in that there fenced-in mudhole. They simply don't taste anywhere near as good as lower proof rums. I heard this from ...Women! Boy is Katy gonna open up a can of Whoop-Ass on you, boy. For getting blasted, they are almost without peer, if that's what floats your boat. You seem to believe that imbibing mass quantities of ethanol equates with chest hair and balls. Whatever. I don't drink to get blasted..... I drink because I enjoy the taste of the beverage. I also believe you get better bang for the buck in buying a higher proof alcohol.... let's face it Max.... just drink less or mix it lighter. AHA!!! The truth emerges. The Cappy is a weenie who "drinks less" or even--omigod, perish the thought--MIXES (forgive me, O' sainted distill-masters of the Caribbean) rum with God knows what. The thought brings bile to my tongue and a tightness to my chest. So, doesn't that chest beating you did seem a bit silly now? Absolutely not...... oh look... you just dropped your hanky. Now why don't you run along and discuss your situation with the other Dandies..... they might share your delicate tastes. That wasn't my hanky, you Athabascan oil slick. That was the gauntlet, and I've thrown it down in challenge to you for a shot-for-shot contest of wills and stomachs. First to puke or pass out loses, and must certainly be labeled a "girlie-man" for the remainder of his days. How do you look in a dress, CM? Max |
