A Beverage-based Blog
   

       

Hi, this is a blog I put together quickly so that my girlfriend and I could post our thoughts on some of the things we drink. Right now, this is heavily centred around alcoholic beverages, but it might some day even encompass other beverages we enjoy, such as tea and coffee. Of course, the opinions expressed here are our own and may very significantly differ from yours (it's all a matter of taste, isn't it?), but, whether you agree or disagree with us, I hope it will be useful in some way, if only to introduce you to drinks or brands you didn't know existed. If you should have any comment on what you read here, please feel free to drop me a note at smassy at sdf dot lonestar dot org.

For context's sake, know that we are currently living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where we arrived from Montreal in August 2005; hence, when we refer to something as local, it more or less means NS or, at its broadest, the Atlantic provinces. It also means that all prices reported here are in Canadian currency, unless otherwise specified. Price are also non-inclusive of taxes (15% in Canada), once again, unless otherwise specified. But that's boring stuff…

Click on any category or subcategory to read entries more relevant to your interests and tastes. Happy drinking!

Smugglers Dark Rum

Price

$23.76/750ml (Taxes Included)

Bought at

Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (Halifax)

A weekend can go by so quickly, but it seems that a bottle of simple rum always manages to go proportionally faster. Indeed, Smugglers is a bottle of simple, highly drinkable rum--as I write this review, its volume decreases with each word I type, and so I must hurry before it is no more. Raisins abound; there's a bit of citrus here and there, with a dash of cinnamon; a bit of dryness mid-tongue; medium body. Good for long discussions and drowning sorrows. Drink with care today or kiss the toilet tomorrow. Enjoy. I did.
