Episode 10 of 5 Minutes of Rum is now posted. I talk about spiced rum in this one and particularly why you should probably just infuse your own.

Speaking of making your own, episode 11 of 5 Minutes of Rum is posted. It's all about Wray & Nephew Overproof rum, using that rum to make your own falernum (Falernum #9 from Beachbum Berry Remixed), and a modified version of The Hawaiian Eye. Enjoy!

Episode 12 of 5 Minutes of Rum is now live. In addition to some follow-up from E11 (J Wray & Ting), I take a look - and taste - at El Dorado 21 and El Dorado 12.

Curious as to why the ED 15 was left out, as it's way different than the 12, and seemingly quite available, at least in the Midwest. I'd consider the 15 as a sipper, on par with Ron Zacapa 23 on the smoothness scale, and definitely more complex, in my opinion.

Hi Kill Devil,
El Dorado 15 will make an appearance in a future episode, as will El Dorado 8. Honestly I hadn't planned on going back to El Dorado so quickly after talking about ED5 on episode 8, but I was fortunate enough to receive a bottle of El Dorado 21. And when planning out tasting the ED21 for an episode, it felt like I needed something else that was more accessible in that episode than a $100 bottle of rum. I happen to normally have ED on hand so that's what I went with.
Short version: El Dorado 15 is in the cards further on down the line.
Thanks for listening!

I'd never even heard of ED 21 until I saw it in St. Thomas. Yes, you are fortunate indeed!

Thanks for listening Darren. Very cool that you can enjoy a rum podcast at work.
I try to put them out as often as I can, and there are many more episodes to come!

Thanks for listening,
