151 proof / 75% ALCOHOL

I've had Lamb's 151, but it tastes a lot like Lemonhart 151; IOW a lot like
turpentine. Not sure why they distill that proof, or why people drink it,
with the possible exception of getting quickly in the bag. I much prefer 80
proof--one can actually taste the rum. Even Goslings 80 is better than
their 100. For sipping straight up, 151 proof is awful.

Yes Max... I'd expect no less from a .... shall we kindly state.... delicate
palate... such as yourself.
I find the 151 a full bodied rum, rich and with a bite that lets you know in
no uncertain terms that you have achieved the pinnacle of rum expertise.

To those of us that have matriculated beyond the 'panty remover' stage...
the 151 Lambs has excellent taste and enough jaw.... to lift the hairs on
the nape of your neck.

It's obviously way too manly of a rum for some... as you seem to be touting
the self same defense as the rest of the limp wristed detractors incapable
of appreciating a fine and serious rum.

"Oh Captain Mooron... it's way too strong".. whined a simpering bilge
barnacle!

Well fancy Boy.... I sip it straight up, neat, room temp...... it's
delicious! In fact a stunt I'm well known for is to guzzle a quart of the
regular proof rum in one go..... then sit down and get to the serious
drinking.

Now Max old boy.... care to re-address your initial critique of my choice in
rum????

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. But I prefer rum to taste like rum, not like
mineral spirits or paint thinner. It's a flavor issue, not one of strength.
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.

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? Why are the very finest sipping
bourbons and ryes the same? Why don't they make 150 proof cognacs and
armegnacs? Only the Brits, for some arcane reason, choose to distill such
high alcohol content rums, but at a price: flavor. They simply don't taste
anywhere near as good as lower proof rums. 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.

So, doesn't that chest beating you did seem a bit silly now?

Max

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?

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

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.

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.

Max, IIRC all rum and burbon is distilled to almost pure alcohol.

Once it is put in charred oak casks to age a percentage of the alcohol
evaporates( the Angles share). This also make it smoother and it picks
up flavor from the barrels.

The carmelation between the charred barrels and the wood gives it it's
color. Most fine rums and burbons are aged at least 5 years in oak.

Wrong on 2 counts. Inner Circle Dark OP rum. 78% ethanol, lots of
flavour, made right here in Australia. Was originally a CSR (Colonial
Sugar Refinery) Directors Special blend.

I have a 6-pack of bottles to take to sea with me, along with the
Absolut vodka.

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.
