I was surprised that it was only $25 -- I expected $50. I doubt the 107 will be that inexpensive. Have you tried the 107? I wonder if it’s as good as the old man said it is. The hierarchy is: Special Reserve Antique 12 William LaRue. I've had all but the LaRue. It'a REALLY hard to find. Special Reserve is pretty much everywhere.

I figured at $25 that it was at the bottom of the hierarchy. But, it’s probably still pretty good, i’m guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it’s very smooth. i’ll try it with a splash of water like you suggested -- that’s how my brother drinks it. I don’t like sweet drinks, so stuff like rum & coke or seven and sevens don’t appeal to me. For the record, i think rum may be the worst alcoholic beverage in existence. For hard liquor, i was always a tequila man predominantly; but, have always liked bourbon. Being Portuguese, i grew up drinking home made stuff though. Very powerful stuff. my relatives would cut it with water and a pound of honey -- and it would still burn an invisible flame. This stuff was the left over stuff at the bottom of a wine vat that was run through a still. We called it “Jackass.” I have no more and that generation of my family have all passed away -- i don’t think i’ll ever get any again.
