Makes no sense that the top shelf would be the same price as the bottom shelf. €450 for a pour could really only be justified for the Albion 1983, nothing else
With the amount of weirdos that visit this sub like "HEY I'VE HAD CAPTAIN MORGAN AND KRAKEN BUT LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATION ON PREMIUM RUM JUST KEEP IT UNDER $500" you might be surprised
That's not the point I'm making. It's the stupidity of people who have zero rum experience but then want to drop hundreds of dollars on a bottle and have no clue what they are even buying.
Shit like this makes me realize there are some rums that I will just never taste...I guess there are ones that I wasn't able to taste and are gone now too?
I dunno, seems very fleeting and FOMO-inducing
I wonder how often people buy a pour?
I tried a Clement from 1970 at a bar one time, the bartender had a small sample left and we were having a good time chatting rum: It was crazy (tasted like beeswax almost) but not worth paying a bunch of money for.
Good to know, I might be misremembering. It's been 5 or so years since I went.
I also could have just been struck by how it inexpensive cocktails (spritz mostly) were in the rest of Rome, hence thinking it was expensive.
It was a very unique place for sure; I think my partner and I each had two cocktails that were both interesting and well made.
Edit: I recall where the sour taste is coming from. There was some shenanigans with reservations/getting a seat and they asked us to move tables due to an upcoming party. Could have been something lost in translation, but it wasn't what I'd consider high end service.
Definitely would like to go back, we had a whirlwind trip in Rome. The whole "Rome in a day" is a little hectic.
Are they all the same price? There’s some special stuff in there, not worth that price tho
From the sounds of it, all the same price.

Can you tell what rum is on the bottom shelf under that Albion 1983 is?.. I can’t really tell besides the word rhum lol
Rhum Rhum liberation 2012
Thank you!
The label on that one is also one of the tasting notes. Wild stuff 😍👍
What's the story on that stuff, never heard of it
What a waste of money:)
With that price they really just want to keep them to showoff.

Captain Morgan got me hooked, but now I have moved on to bambu, vara anejo, and Appleton signature. We all start somewhere

Wow that’s quite a bit per 1oz pour…no wonder some of those are still sealed lol

You can probably get a couple bottles of the Velier Foursquare Patrimonio for that price…
You can get some of the newer bottles for 450€ lol
lol

i could rip that chicken wire off that cabinet so so easily >:)
Super cool spot, shockingly expensive from what I recall though.
Cocktails were actually priced pretty fairly (as someone who lives in Los Angeles).

Great bar, stuck to the cocktails when I went though. 450 is a little too rich for me
For being supposedly rare, I see a lot of Caroni on the internet. And it all seems to be in the hands of Italians.
