Is this something like a 4loko?

Its a wine sold at Trader Joe's. It's called Charles Shaw and it's only $2 a bottle, hence the nickname 2 buck chuck

They changed it to 3 buck chuck by my house, still a good deal obv

Picked up a bottle of Flor de Cana Centenario Gold 18 year rum today.

My impressions:

Very smooth rum. No afterburn in the mouth/throat. Tastes of dark chocolate and caramel, with a bit of a charred oak taste, from being aged 18 years in oak barrels. Some people may be put off by the oak taste, but I personally liked it. The rum also comes in a 12 year version, which I haven't tried, but would assume doesn't have quite as strong of an oak taste to it.

Very good sipping rum, which is the way I prefer it. If you wanted to mix it with coke, I believe it would mix nicely. I think that the rich, sweet flavors of rum go together with coke really well in general.

Just got back from Vacation in Southern Califorinia ... 9 days in Del Mar by San Diego and Monarch Beach in Orange County. My new favorite cocktail is a French 75: gin, champagne, lemon juice and sugar.

tonight, it's Old Overholt Rye ($13 w/ tax), in honor of Don Draper.

@SCS That sounds really nice. The 12 year sounds excellent

You're suppose to drink Ten High in a pastic bottle when f**ked up. That way the bottle doesn't break when you pass out on the streets of the south side ...
