Bro you hate everything.
You are worse than I am

With fancy liquors, it escalates quickly. I bought good ingredients for Mai Tais awhile ago and spent over $100.

I've realized the opposite. I get a lot more servings from a high end bottle of booze than a high end beer.

I hate your face if that's what you're talking about.

Agreed. Since leaving SD the wife and I spend very little on craft/indie/whateverthefuck beer anymore. Homebrew, bourbon and rum is where it's at. Bourbon has gone off the rails in terms of cost but there's a ton of great stuff for reasonable $ on the shelf. And if you're patient you can land the mini-rarez. Rum is by far an even better deal.

BBA beer is tasty but by far the least ROI. If I see a $25 BBA beer sitting on the shelf I'll go look at the Bourbon/Rum aisles to see what's equivalent in cost knowing I'll get a lot more milage out of that other bottle. And to some degree this is what's hurting the market share game.

So many breweries now it's all just fading into background noise.

Anyway I'm on the TikiTrain.

High quality rum is prohibitively expensive, at least on my budget. The single cask, aged, cask strength rums are often disproportionately expensive for their age. I wish I could get into rum, but it's hard to find the really high quality rums without spending more than I'm comfortable with.

 

[jwacky]

Heard all about that last night. Sounds expensive for what you get.

Details?

High end rum is way cheaper than whiskey atm. The secondary hasn't inflated store prices as of yet.

Which ones are you talking about? I'm mostly referring to rums using in making cocktails. Appleton 12, El Dorado 12/15. Not the super high end stuff for sipping neat. Then it's not much different than any high end aged bourbon.

Ah yeah, the ones you are talking about are very reasonable. Forget what I wrote.

Foundry members and another small group should be receiving the information today. I can relay once I get it.

Relative to the age, I tend to think rum is worse than whisky.

Thanks. Mostly just curious. Sounds like it'll be small, and I'm about tapped out with other memberships.

I think it depends on the whiskey. Aged scotch gets expensive in a hurry. Bourbon has nutty secondary prices but MSRP is relatively reasonable (I guess). And the secondary market is on a relatively small amount of bottles. Tons of great every day options. Rye is a tad niche and outside of the Thomas H Handy and Sazerac there aren't a whole lot of super high end bottles out there. $50 or less gets you some nice stuff.

I'm relatively new to beer from the whiskey world and rum strikes me as very affordable, with the caveat that I don't know a whole lot about it.

Indeed. It's only money, right? Can always get second and third jobs to support the crippling addiction.
