Blackwell Rum

Has anyone tried this Jamaican Rum?
The 'hints of orange peel and burnt coconut' has piqued my interest ......
It had quite a nice write up in the Caribbean Journal: http://www.caribjournal.com/2012/07/...blackwell-rum/

I've bought it at the airport last few trips. Not cheap at about $35/bottle but it is really good and not available where I live. I drink it on the rocks and use the cheaper stuff for mixing. As far as orange peels and burnt coconut....yeah whatever, my tasters arent that literate.

Oh yeah!!! It is so awesome rum! Not available where I live either but next trip I'm going to buy more than one.

I found it in New York I bought all they had, 5 bottles, it is the best rum ever. Good sipping rum.

Sorry but I feel is a below average rum....way overpriced.....much better rums all around. It's a rum that part blackstrap, part Spiced....keep looking....try any El Dorado, Plantation, or Diplomatico or even Appleton rums ...all excellent sipping rums.....this is no sipper.

I guess Chris is branching out?

Yeah, anything to make a buck. Just got done reading Don Taylor's Book (Bob's Manager) and he doesn't paint such a flattering picture of him. Good thing his mother had loads of money or he might have ended up a cheap con artist instead of a rich one.

Peace and Guidance

We got the Blackwell to bring back for somebody. It's pretty awesome! You can get it at HiLo for way cheaper than $35! Waaaaay cheaper. I don't recall exactly what we paid, but it was under $20 US. Now wonder at the airport! The Eaton's rum bbq sauce is less than $3 at HiLo and it goes for a whopping $10 at the airport. Duty free is not necessarily profit free!

Well I am not a rummy connaisseur, but I liked it very much, they gave me a bottle at The Caves and I bought it and have been sipping it. Maybe there is better, but, I was very surprised at how good this is.
