1888 8 Year Old Rum

I do have a liking for a good rum. But it has to be good. One that can be enjoyed and sipped like a good whiskey. 1888 is up their, it’s one of the best rums I’ve come across.

1888

1888 is a smooth sipping rum that has been aged for 5 years in ex bourbon oak casks, then finished for 3 in sherry casks. It has a sweet aroma with a caramel mouth feel. It’s not overly sweet and has a slight floral finish.

I’m not a very good taster, don’t always know how to describe what I’m tasting. I just know this is dang good and everyone that’s tried it has loved it.

I prefer it neat but cold. Adding ice does change the mouth feel, almost thicker in the mouth after the ice melts a bit. Still a great drink, I just like it neat a bit better.

You can check out the 1888 site here for a bit more info. This falls into my highly recommend category.

It is Alive!

So it’s been a long while since I’ve posted here. Well, I’m back. I’m ready to kick this thing back into gear. Hopefully, I’ll find my voice again and have some things to write about. I’m going to expand the topic from strictly hunting to bourbon, outdoors, random thoughts on life and other things.

I hope you find something of interest. Thanks for reading.
