I'm going to try rum and coke tonight with my 12-year aged rum

[sakabatou]

First time drinking it and I'll give you my thoughts.

[hlthe2b]

1. LOL...I read your subject line as you're going to drink with your 12 year old...!

Of course, I try not to judge...

[sakabatou]

7. XD

[SCantiGOP]

30. Worse than that

It says they are going to drink rum and snort coke with their 12 year old.

Someone call Child Protective Services............

[cilla4progress]

2. What's the

occasion?

[sakabatou]

6. Nothing. I just wanna try it.

[brush]

18. Bottoms up on your Cuba Libre.

[dhill926]

3. May I humbly suggest...

skipping the coke and adding only a couple ice cubes...

[kozar]

5. THIS on old rum!!!!!! n/t

[sakabatou]

8. Or I could drink it strait. Again, this is just an experiment.

[kozar]

4. omg I am a rum freak!

when Mrs K Dad passed we found a 25 year old bottle of Jamacian rum that Mrs bought on a cruise way back. Sealed and perfect,, we drank,and omg ,,neither one of us enjoy straight shots until then. hope you enjoy!!!

9. Mine's Guatemalan

I had an 7 or 8 year rum. It was good by itself, but I wanna try it with coke.

[kozar]

10. After about 3 years,,country shouldn't matter,,,

at this point we are same as cheddar cheese,, to me,, older,,better,, doesn't necessarily need to be from Wisconsin or anywhere. I do not know your age,but plead you to understand,, if it is old,,just like cheddar,,try it alone first, because it will be that many years before you have a chance again.

11. Just pointing out the different country of origin

Nothing more. And yes, I have tried the 7/8 year rum.

[kozar]

12. no worries,just sharing my experiences,,, n/t

[sakabatou]

13. Ah

[kozar]

14. Anything, that is older,, try straight first,,

I will not say what all are thinking,,but yeah,,even that.

15. I've drunk the 7/8 strait, but I wanna try the coke version

I might nip at the 12.

16. Too bad you did not have some 12 year old south american coke

For some reason I find central and south american coke taste better... More sugar?
Different sugar?

[sakabatou]

17. Real coke uses sugar instead of corn syrup

Real coke is not in season here, as it comes out in stores around Passover.

[mitch96]

22. That must be it.. sugar

When I was in Panama and Ecuador way back when, I remember the coke tasted better there. The stuff on the ship tasted like shit after that...
I don't drink soda any more so now it's just a fond memory....

23. According to my friend, it's because I didn't use ice.

[Flaleftist]

28. You can often find real coke in Spanish markets.

Publix and even Home Depot carry them around here.

[sakabatou]

29. Neither are in biking distance

[yellowdogintexas]

24. Mexican coke is just about everywhere around here

I don't drink soda much but if I do I want Mexican coke!

Tastes like Coke did when I was a kid.

[mpcamb]

31. I think coke gets sweeter as you travel south.

Pretty sure the formula changes with regions, right?

[Codeine]

19. One would imagine

any complexity added by the aging process would be well and truly masked by the addition of the cola.

[sakabatou]

20. The results...

TASTED LIKE GODDAMN COUGH MEDICINE!

Looks like I'll take my rum straight from now on.

[sakabatou]

21. Addendum: my friend is going to teach me to do it right

[JesterCS]

25. I read title as try rum and coke with my 12-year old

Lol

[secondwind]

26. Don't forget the lime!!

27. Depending on how much of it you drink

You might want to wait 12 hours or so before writing a detailed report.......

*By the way, what age was the coke?
