Nice cocktail range.. with a nice rum range!

I have the Cherrywood XO..wonder how it compares to the Cherrywood?

I´m also curious about how the taste of the Temptryst Sugarcane Infused is?
and not the least...the dark chocolate..

[Paulipbartender]

Also a full favoured coffee cocktail

50ml Temptryst Algerita wood
10ml agave syrup
20ml espresso
3 drops of angostura orange bitters

Paul,

it's a tough job but you've managed to cleverly craft candid cane concoctions into luscious libations from Dan's spirituous specialties.

With your sense of good taste... your recipes no doubt taste good.

I hope that you and the IP bartenders team are enjoying the rums. You have left my homework cut out for me.

In some ways I am in a bit of a shock. I know that more people drink cocktails and that such is the major factor in commercial success... but I worked so hard to develop such a range of flavors.

I'm sipping a rumgarita right now. This really does bring out more of the flavor of the algerita fruit that I grew up with. So.. IT WORKS! Somewhere between a sidecar and a margarita. But it also brings out more of the phenolic Scotch whisky notes in this rum.

Coconut shell...mmmmmmm

Glad you like it - we had great fun yesterday mixing and playing with all your rums. As I've said before, you've crafted some fascinating flavours that bring some wonderful new tools to the table. We should have some more recipes for you soon - I'm particularly loving the Peachwood Dark Daiquiri - your rum balances nicely with the Pussers character for a really interesting cocktail

Guess I know what I need to review this week... ;)

And I need to review the Lemon Rum. I'm very sorry I still haven't reviewed it Angelsword but I've been kind of busy.

The Lemon Wood Rum is another that steps outside the normal rum experience.

[Tiare]

Any nice cocktail recipe for the Cherrywood XO?

I remain a big fan of Apple Tree (sweet, fruity, warm and smooth) and Cherrywood VSO.
