[xRunnerLance]

So, To start.. I must say that I absolutely Love Rum!
I Just cant get enough =) In a good way tho. My only problem.. is location!

While here in Alberta, we have the largest selection in all of canada, I am looking to get my hands on a few others that sadly just arn't available here.
This is where I turn to you, my fellow X-runner enthusiasts for help. Im looking for people who are willing to ship a bottle to me up here =)
From my research, as long as its declared and I pay duty/taxes/ect..
Of course im willing to pay for the cost of shipping and such.

I have, they refered me to www.liquorconnect.com.
It's the website for the liquor control board of Alberta. It lists every single bottle of liquor, wine, beer etc that is available in Alberta. Once I Found that out, I went on the hunt to other provinces, unfortunately we Canadians just arnt as lucky as other places in the world.
The only bottle on that list that is available here is Banks 5 island.. At a staggering 86$ per bottle vs. 28$ is the US. Only one store has stock (3 left) and it's no longer imported by the importer (already tried that aswell)

I've done my share of driving (in the X of course!) and done the research, but shy of moving south of the border.. Lol
Thus, my reach out to our American enthusiasts for help

Interesting thread to say the least:top:

captains about as adventurous as my rum gets lol

 

[xRunnerLance]

flyer- I may have to look for that when im down in that area for my wedding in 2015

tacoX - I may just have to take you up on that sometime if i ever hear of anything

raziug - I used to be the same.. I was raised on the captain ever since I could remember. An old journeyman of mine got me onto Sailor Jerrys, which is quite good. But from there I started to venture out into other brands. If you like spiced rum, I do have a few suggestions; VooDoo is suprisingly good (~30$), Captain Morgan Silver and Black (~30-35$) spiced are both delicious and smooth goin down. The Kraken is about par with C.M Black. One of my favorites so far is called The Lash. But, so far my favorite by far is Elements Eight Spiced rum. Its up there with my more expensive bottles, so I dont drink it too often for that fact... and ill be Damned if i share it with anyone!

Taken from the website: "The result is a harmonious balance of 10 St Lucian fruits and spices expertly married with fine aged rum."
It has a very floral smell to it, reminds me a lot of lilac . its just one of those that you'd have to go and try for yourself. I highly recommend it =)

I assume with those rums you don't ruin it by mixing with anything?
I was in the Dominican Republic a couple years ago and they had some great rum. Can't remember any particular names, but it was in about every drink I had. I think even there water had a little rum thrown in LOL.

I can probably find all of those at this liquor store here. They have a walmart size store that is dedicated to just liquors and wines. I found a bottle there that noone else carried in the states. Its from argentina.
