REFINED VICES

Dan has graciously allowed me to review another of his offerings: Temptryst Mesquite.

Excellent rum. Pour a glass, let it breathe a bit and open like a treasure chest of smoky, woody flavors.

The Temptryst rums seem like an interesting pair.

More than a pair!

QFE. While I haven't done a proper review of it yet, I've had a bottle of the Dark Chocolate on my shelf for a while now, and it is excellent.

I arranged a trade for it for my wife, but I drink it more often than she does.

So are any of these actually available for purchase anywhere?

Not yet.

Actually I was just remarking that I need to start reviewing a few rums that are A) Actually for sale, and B) Can actually be found.

So far I've reviewed 2 Temptryst rums (not available) and Ron Zacapa 23 Anos (which is available for a good price) and my next review is of Brugal Siglo de Oro (hard to find for a decent price).

Available yes. But not for purchase. It all depends on who you know. For example, there are rums available in the UK that may not be found here.
