I've yet to find it any any liquor store. You can get it special ordered, but you may likely have to pay for an entire case at a time. I plan to do just this when I have the funds. I've picking up a few bottles when I visit Seattle to tide me over. Martiniques - You can usually find the Saint James Amber at places with a decent stock. The one out in Gresham on burnside has it. I'll bet 23rd/uptown, the Pearl store, and 12th/Hawthorne carry it. I've sometimes seen the extra old. I just keep my eyes open and buy what/when I can. If I'm pressed, I'll order off the internet, but the shipping is usually prohibitive unless I'm doing a large order. Looks like Depaz Rhum is also on the OLCC special order list - so somewhere might have that... I use Lemon Hart 80 for regular mixing demerara. I’ve yet to find it any any liquor store.

What non-151 demerara (Guyana) and Martinique rums are available in the Portland metro area? Which liquor store? Did you get yours locally, or elsewhere? Thanks.

I adore questions :) Honey Mix is equal parts Honey (orange blossom, but clover works) and water. Heat to combine and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. It's much easier to quickly mix than honey in a drink (which requires either sticky fingers or heating to properly mix). It does add some water content to the total volume, so you need 2x the amount for the same flavor profile. And thanks for the well-wishes. Miss you! Au contraire, Caoilin! I adore questions :)

Glad you're better! Pardon the non-mixologist's ignorance, but what's "honey mix"? Hey Cute! Glad you’re better!

Pardon the non-mixologist’s ignorance, but what’s “honey mix”?
