So I will be traveling to the Arctic in a couple of days and my host is a Newfoundlander who likes amber rum. Go figure. Is Lambs Amber the right choice? Please advise! I hate agonizing over decisions

 

You mean he doesn't want a gallon of screech???

As for the rum.. it depends on his taste buds.. Buy him one of each

 

yeah was thinking that too if i can find that stuff. alcohol is controlled there and u need a permit, sometimes the police will seize it when you arrive at the airport so i cant overdo it too much! lol,

 

My mom is cuckoo over Havana Club rum.

 

Wiser or glen something single malt my choice for the quantity limited. 25 to 30 year port but it would get seized for sure.

 

LOL! Those might not make it to the airport!

Had some Havana Club this eve! still got some from Cuba in Dec.

 

glen fiddich, is what you are thinking of Mike. It is a very nice Scotch, if you like Scotch

 

My wife is the same way. Although I'm more of a tequlia guy, i've even acquired a taste for Havana Club.

 

aaah....well if we're talking single malt scotch I'm an Oban kind of girl

 

I like scotch, but scotch doesn't like me. I like to sip on a good single 15-20 year malt. Warms me up and numbs up the old bones. Sure needed one tall glass yesterday.

Never tried Oban, whats it like. Oaky, peety, or smokey I have a friend that collects rare odd single malts. I think that we tried every bottle at christmas time. I just collect what ever is cheap at the duty free shops.

Dan, hopefully your rum adventure goes good. Probably not alot else to do at night beside playing cards and a few stiff drinks. Helps you to go to sleep.

 

well actually I dont know the first thing about cards, I have never had enough leisure time in my life to learn. I decided on the Lambs. Oban is peaty and I find a tiny bit briny,just love the stuff. Off to Iqauit tomorrow, see you guys on the other side in three weeks! OK I exaggerate, they actually do have internet there even if no liquor store.

 

Have a safe journey, post some pics for us of what its like up there.

 

Hey Mike, I would post some pics but I got internet thats slower than 15W40 in -40C, which is what the temp was the other day (absolute -30C), BTW, holy moly its still cold up here. Shoulda brought more rum. Went on the "snow machine" for a quick ride but gave up due to extreme cold and whiteout conditions! Tonight for fun went to a public consultation on the new proposed landfill siting/design an alls I can say is I'm glad that we lost that job to those guys, and that I was not the poor hapless consultant standing up there, lol.

 

Take some pics and post them later. Ya rum would help warm you up. We are suppose to get another big dump of snow tonight. Sure get used to the warm weather pretty quick. -40 deg's that is darn cold. Hopefully you brought from warm cloths.

 

I love cane sugar rum. Mmmmm Mmmmm yum. I have a bottle in the fridge right now
