FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Adam Smith
The original forum lounge thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum.

While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge, that doesn't mean that the FT rules don't apply here (they definitely do), please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

For those interested, previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread,2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition, 2018 edition, 2019 edition, 2020 edition, 2021 edition, and 2022 edition.

10 samples? Impressive!

These tests don't get run all in one night, it usually takes weeks

In what sense? Like which was preferred out of those 10 where the two types of rum were compared? Or which was the most interesting comparison?

Incorporating the rum you voted #1, what was the most interesting drink?

Hard to say. I don't try to stack rank. Aku Aku, Merciless Virgin, and Daiquiri No. 1 are all good, although the Aku Aku wasn't as good as I remembered it being previously.

Given a set up line like that, you have no idea how difficult it is to resist the urge to pile on with more comments.

Thanks. I may be at Smuggler's at some point and will add one of those to the batting order.

Oh, I think there are others I would prefer to those. Center of the Galaxy, Naked Ape, Dr. Fluffy, maybe a couple others that are a step above those.
