A Slice of Island Life | Waylaid In The West Indies
https://waylaidinthewestindies.wordpress.com/2009/10/03/a-slice-of-island-life
Waylaid In The West Indies. Ruminations Upon Living In The Caribbean. A Slice of Island Life. El Fortin Conde de Mirassol. Once in a while we all need to take a break and just enjoy our surroundings. Let’s take a look around this little known Caribbean Island. The photo above is of the last Spanish Fort built in the Western hemisphere. It was never completed by the Spanish. It acted as a jail for a time during the mid 1900’s. It is now a wonderful museum. A Bananaquit feeding on a banana flower. So lovel...

Lost Spirits Distillery’s Aging Reactor Could Transform the Craft Spirits Industry. April 1, 2015. At the American Distilling Institute conference today (4/1/15), Bryan Davis of Lost Spirits Distillery. To this story goes into the science of spirit flavors and how Lost Spirits backs up their claims, but for this post, it’s sufficient to know that barrel aging is about transforming organic compounds into more pleasant tasting organic compounds. In an earlier post. Gas Chromatograph of volatile compounds i...

Tasting Notes: Ron del Barrilito Rums | Waylaid In The West Indies
https://waylaidinthewestindies.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/tasting-notes-ron-del-barrilito-rums
Waylaid In The West Indies. Ruminations Upon Living In The Caribbean. Tasting Notes: Ron del Barrilito Rums. Two Star and Three Star. A color comparison of the Two Star and the Three Star. First up is the Two Star. A beautiful medium yellow gold color leads into light but very distinctive aromas of nuts, molasses and wood with a light peppery alcohol bite. The aromas carry well onto the tongue with a medium body and a nice warm, dryish finish. Who am I to argue? Bottled at 86 proof. The deep old gold col...

Tasting Notes: Ron Mocambo 20 Art Edition | Waylaid In The West Indies
https://waylaidinthewestindies.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/tasting-notes-ron-mocambo-20-art-edition
Waylaid In The West Indies. Ruminations Upon Living In The Caribbean. Tasting Notes: Ron Mocambo 20 Art Edition. In the world of spirits today Mexico is not known for it’s rum. There are however a few still producing rum which will bring you back to the old “New Spain”. Here is one example. To the eye this rum exhibits a deep, leathery brown colored center leading to a green tinged edge. In a world of Hi-Tech squeaky clean distillates I love tasting a rum like this. It tastes like an old world, well ...

Life’s a Beach | Waylaid In The West Indies
https://waylaidinthewestindies.wordpress.com/2009/09/22/lifes-a-beach
Waylaid In The West Indies. Ruminations Upon Living In The Caribbean. Life’s a Beach. A day well spent. Vieques Island is not a large tourist destination compared to many Caribbean Islands. That means the beaches here are uncrowded and often you will have an entire beach to yourself. Sometimes a visitor will stop by. In the South side Barrio of Esperanza there is a small beach that locals like to gather at especially on weekends. Locals enjoying Esperanza Beach. Shack Bar La Nasa on Esperanza Beach.

Tasting Notes: Zaya Gran Reserva Rum | Waylaid In The West Indies
https://waylaidinthewestindies.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/tasting-notes-zaya-gran-reserva-rum
Waylaid In The West Indies. Ruminations Upon Living In The Caribbean. Tasting Notes: Zaya Gran Reserva Rum. I’m not going to get into the debate whether the “old” Zaya made in Guatemala was better than the new iteration being made in Trinidad. I wouldn’t mind having a go at in a proper venue with samples of both present. Alas that’s not happening today. A high quality and distinctive rum. Sweet with heat and just enough flavor interest to carry it all off well. Tasted September 26, 2009. Feed for comment...
