THIS IS NOT SWILL; IT’S SWIRL!!! The Ron Pomporo is a fine ‘SIPPING RHUM” that one pours into a balloon snifter and swirls. This is not a “Plantation Rhum” that one gives a Viking Funeral to by throwing it overboard into a sea of Coca Cola!!!

Finally, Simple isn’t necessarily a bad thing. My Miata is a SIMPLE Roadster which is fun to drive, easy to repair and sips gas. Now compair that to the BMW roadster which is OK to drive, COMPLEX to work on and chugs gasoline like, well, a Rhummy!!! The Pomporo is Simple, Smooth and makes yer lungs GLOW. Now compair that with the Depaz Blue Cane Rhum Agricole which is SO COMPLEX as to be undrinkable (It is so aciditic as to make yer tongue curl, it burns like a Habanero Chili Pepper going down yer throat and the aftertaste makes you think someone used yer glass to clean their paint brushes in).

I’ll stack this rhum against any sub $100.00 rhum you care to name!!!

We are doing a clean out and i thought there maybe a site somewhere that i could sell it on?

Simple, huh? Simple as in Simply Elegent?!!!All I know is that we were hosting an ‘Officer’s Call’ with some visiting Puerto Rican Officers and they brought out some killer, small lable Rhums. Talking Rhums to Puerto Ricans is like talking Tequila to Mexicans—you have to be on your top form to maintain any kind of creditability.

On the ‘sperm’ of the moment, I ran into _________ and spied a cool, squat looking Rhum in a letter bota bag (that I intended to use for my GPS). That was the Rhum I poured, sans coke, before we lit up our apre dinner cigars.
To this day, I still receive e-mail complements about that 5 minutes of glorie!!!

FYI, one rarely finds complexity in dark rhums because the malassis concentration in dark rhums usually overpowers all other aspects of the pour. Thats why they are usually reserved for mixed drinks like coke and Rhum.
It’s unfair to compair light Rhums to dark Rhums because they do different things—it would be like compairing a Ferrari F50 to a General Dynamics M1113 Hummv—the Ferrari would blow the doors off the M1113 on the pavement but the M1113 would blow the doors off the Ferrari crossing sand dunes or river crossings.

For Complexity, I usually gravitate to the Agricole Methode certifications like Chaffe Cour of Martineque which I will take over a Flur de Caine any day of the week.

I originally bought this rum at Isla Margarita and for a very low price – didnt know anything abour rums, so I just bought the most expensive one they had.
I brought it home and tasted it many month later and was blown away!
I since then tried to find it and discovered its very hard to come by, but I found it by chance in a airport in the Canary Islands….an airport of all places.
My point it, if you search for it, you will find it when you least expect it
