Das #Leckerli zum Probieren:
Appetit auf ein leckeres #Rosinenbrot mit einem Schuss #Rum? 🍞🍇
Dieses Rezept ergibt ein leckeres, fluffiges #Brot mit eingeweichten #Rosinen und einem leichten #Zitronengeschmack durch die #Zitronenschale. Der #Kuchen braucht Zeit zum Gehen für den #Hefeteig.
Weicht Ihr die Rosinen auch immer in Rum ein? Ist bei mir der einzige Grund, wieso die Flasche in der Bar steht. 😊

"By 1774 it also had come to mean rather the opposite: "odd, strange, bad, queer, spurious," ..."
rum(n.) #rum
etymology --
"liquor distilled from the juice of sugar cane or molasses," 1650s, apparently a shortening of rumbullion (1651), rombostion (1652), words all of uncertain origin, but suspicion falls on rum (adj.) "excellent, fine, good, valuable;" the phrase rum bouse "good liquor" is attested from 1560s and through 17c. The English word was borrowed into Dutch, German, Swedish, Danish, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Russian.
In the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, is a manuscript entitled "A briefe description of the Island of Barbados." It is undated but from internal evidence it must have been written about the year 1651. In describing the various drinks in vogue in Barbados, the writer says : "The chief fudling they make in the Island is Rumbullion alias Kill-Divill, and this is made of sugar canes distilled, a hot, hellish, and terrible liquor. ["The Etymology of the Word Rum," in Timehri, 1885]
Rum was used from c.1800 in North America as a general (hostile) name for intoxicating liquors, hence rum-runner and much other Prohibition-era slang.
Rum I take to be the name which unwashed moralists apply alike to the product distilled from molasses and the noblest juices of the vineyard. Burgundy in "all its sunset glow" is rum. Champagne, soul of "the foaming grape of Eastern France," is rum. ... Sir, I repudiate the loathsome vulgarism as an insult to the first miracle wrought by the Founder of our religion! [Oliver Wendell Holmes, "The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table," 1871]
also from 1650srum(adj.)
"excellent, fine, good, valuable," canting slang, 1560s, also rome, "fine," said to be from Romany rom "male, husband" (see Romany). A very common 16c. cant word (opposed to queer), as in rum kicks "Breeches of gold or silver brocade, or richly laced with gold or silver" [Grose, "Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue," 1785].By 1774 it also had come to mean rather the opposite: "odd, strange, bad, queer, spurious," perhaps because it had been so often used approvingly by rogues in reference to one another. Or perhaps this is a different word. This was the main sense after c. 1800.
Rom (or rum) and quier (or queer) enter largely into combination, thus-- rom = gallant, fine, clever, excellent, strong; rom-bouse = wine or strong drink; rum-bite = a clever trick or fraud; rum-blowen = a handsome mistress; rum-bung = a full purse; rum-diver = a clever pickpocket; rum-padder = a well-mounted highwayman, etc.: also queere = base, roguish; queer-bung = an empty purse; queer-cole = bad money; queer-diver = a bungling pickpocket; queer-ken = a prison; queer-mort = a foundered whore, and so forth. [John S. Farmer, "Musa Pedestris," 1896] also from 1560s

#gifted by #probitasrum, we don't normally review rums. But we have a habit of making cocktails with them when we aren't enjoying a pint or dram.
Taking exception to our usual reviews of bourbons, whisk(e)y, beer, and cider, we figured what better time to review a rum than during #rummonth.
A collaboration between two respected rum distillers, one from Barbados and the other from Jamaica, this blend had us pondering a Rye Tai (which includes a 100+ proof rye whiskey) or, in place of our usual overproof rum addition.
Final thoughts? Here's the breakdown that we came up with, "Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of glue, punchy phenolic, brown butter, and that expectant funk including overripe bananas.
Sipping, we recover notes of caramel, vanilla bean, pineapple, citrus zest, and some overripe banana
Finishing, blackstrap molasses, baking spices and some toasted oak remain."

I've posted about the (Spiced) Four W Daiquiri before, but that was with Foursquare Spiced rum. Very different flavor from this Cargo Cult (heavy vanilla), but both are good. The secret? Go heavy on the maple syrup to offset the grapefruit.🍹😊

If you're not making your daiquiris with funky Jamaican rum, you've been wasting good booze. Shame on you. 😞
That Mezan Trinidad 2009 is surprisingly good. A bit mild on flavor (not ABV), but good. I reserve judgement on the Cargo Cult until I've mixed more with it.

I finally cracked this 2017 Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society Papa's Pilar Rum bottle from Julio's Liquors in honor of National Rum Day. A 24 year dark rum finished in Spanish sherry casks.

I like rum and tequila, so I go through a lot of lime juice. Usually I have a lot of limes in the house, lately I haven't because of cost. Got back to fresh juice and there's a huge difference from first press bottled lime juice.

A poor man’s “Reflecting Pool”, created while #camping.
Supposed to be, from respectable #recipes I’ve seen: big slabs of blue dried fruit (not blue bacon-strips-lookin’ generic rolls), #pineapple (not cheap #lemonade), #rum (not #vodka), & #BlueCuraçao (I’d substitute [green] #Midori if I could).
Still yummy, & enough of them will help cloud my memory of the real reflecting pool, the real white house, the real national anniversary.

The question is if the use of "Tippy" is in place of "Tipsy" for any particular reason.

The last drink from this bottle of locally-made Koloa rum that I've had for a while goes well with a halftime lead. This is their coffee rum...my favorite of theirs.

Tonight I'm drinking the Black Tot Rum Rare Old Natural Cask Strength Demerara Rum, Aged 40 Years. I just cracked it. It is a fairly dark dram - holding it up to a light, it is opaque.
The nose makes me expect more molasses and sweet notes than I get on the palate.
The first thing that hits me is a bit of tannic astringency, but it quickly rounds out and the dark, demerara sweetness comes in on the finish. It is a dry sweetness, not at all syrupy or cloying.
It is warming and comforting, very easy to sip at 44.2% ABV. I'll have to side-by-side it with The Last Consignment.

I’ve seen some recipes for a “reflecting pool” cocktails floating around the internet for a few days. One, I’m sure was AI, as the ingredients could create the image presented. But then I saw a post with a recipe that actually sounds fun and plausible. So I thought I’d give it a go.
I used pineapple juice, and the first attempt came out too frothy, but once you start drinking it starts looking a bit weird… the fruit roll up appeared to hold together fine..
So, for round 2, I built it directly in the glass, so the rum was in direct contact with the “liner”. It’s a bit more blue than I’d like, and I added a bonus garnish. When I was at the store getting the fruit roll ups needed for this, I saw the dried seaweed snacks and thought that would be a fantastic addition to such a ridiculous cocktail. I think it really works 😂
Afterward I finished it, there was evidence the fruit roll up was dissolving, but unfortunately, it wasn’t coming off in pieces that would give the desired effect 😆 -

Some new arrivals from Drammers Club / Drinqy. The recent online Kavalan Whisky tasting included a bottle of the No.1 Distillery Select. It hadn't arrived at the time, so it just shipped, and they offered free shipping on any other bottles added to the shipment, so I pulled the trigger on a few I'd been thinking about.
Compass Box Whisky Glasgow Blend Single Marrying Cask, 'Drammers Club #87'. This was married in an ex-Cameronbridge Lowland Single Grain Cask.
Tenmile Distillery Little Rest American Single Malt Whisky, Double Matured Cask Strength, Batch 002. Tenmile is doing some great things over in Wassaic, NY. And I'm always happy to support my friend Melissa.
FEW Spirits Immortal Rye - Rye Whiskey with Eight Immortals Oolong Tea. You may notice this bottle is opened, as we had a gathering on Saturday - and this shipment happened to arrive earlier that day.
I picked this up as my friend Marc is the distiller at our local Nashoba Valley Spirits, and creator of their own tea-infused bourbon and single malt whisky. So when I saw this I wanted to compare a tea-infused rye. I have to say, the tea influence is very faint here. It isn't a bad pour, but I don't think I'd guess there was tea if I didn't know. I prefer our local offerings.
And then yesterday another box showed up from the UK with a very special rum. Black Tot Rum Rare Old Natural Cask Strength Demerara Rum, Aged 40 Years. This is Demerara Rum distilled in Guyana in 1975, and was the heart of the blended rum served by the Royal Navy until 1970. It will be interesting to compare this with The Last Consignment.

Switching to ginger beer with rum after the excellent #rum (Goslings) and coke after lunch. Small 237 mL excellently sized bottle coke (US; cane sugar sweetened) was super, but better I don't caffeineate any more.
