our minibar in Ocho Rios

[GrogNerd]

think they're keeping the kegs of Red Stripe in pool water, so we'll drink from our mini-bar

they eventually left a bottle of scotch to fill the empty spot

Those aren't the three I'd pick- what scotch did you get?

 

[GrogNerd]

have not heard of any of these brands, but then not much of a distilled spirits drinker

they aren't bad, though and the mini-bar is free, so I ain't complaining

That Appleton rum is good stuff give it a try

Have a bottle in my home bar right now as a matter a fact

I have been drinking the rum & will be bringing home a bottle. they've got this fruit juice in the mini bar that tastes awesome with the rum

also bringing home some of the AWESOME coffee they have here.

Free scotch? Thats a losing proposition for any establishment I am patronizing.

Appleton make a rum liqueur called Rumona that was incredible granted the last time I had it Electric Avenue was a top 40 hit

What resort are you at? My wife and I went to Couples Ocho Rios in 2009, great trip. Still haven't had a Red Stripe since the trip. There were quite a few bars on site, and the beer was typically fine at the busier main bars, but was horrible at the less visited bars. They basically used a jockey box set up in the ice bin. Wasn't as cold as you typically see in the US, but was at reasonable temperature.

we're at The Jewel Dunn's River Resort & Spa

I miss my dog

We stayed at Montego Bay Sandals, actually got married there back in 05, and never left a 100 yard radius the entire time we were there. The food was great, the booze was great, the view was great, it was all great! Appleton rum is one of my favorites. I've seen it at Sams club here in Indiana.
