Rum

@richardaldred ordered

Doorly’s five has arrived, I’m told a suitable substitute for the Brigand. Shall report back Friday

Anyone who ordered the Drop Store offer on Foursquare Rum Sixty Six, has yours arrived yet? No sign of mine or any shipping notification.

@DethBeard @zazkar ?

Nothing yet

Nope, I emailed customer services to query it, but it was after 5pm

Likewise no word yet.

Same. Previous orders were delivered in 7-10 days, so they are beyond that.

Email from Drop Store:

Good morning,
Thank you for contacting us here at the Drop Store regarding your purchases. We are experiencing slight delays and we aim to have deliveries dispatched within 5-7 working days from the date your order was placed. This does not include the bank holidays or the weekends. Please have a look out in your emails spam/junk or inboxes for DHL tracking numbers once your order has been processed. Apologises for the inconvenience and your patience is acknowledged

5-7 days would be between yesterday (Monday) and tomorrow (Wednesday) for me.
The money left my account within minutes of placing the order, so no delay on that part!

Just got an update from DHL, expected delivery Wednesday

Snap

And same here.

We all trying a nip tomorrow night then? 🙂

Guess I rattled them with my query, as I have not had dispatch notification yet :(

Edit: Patience was required, got a dispatch notification, delivery due tomorrow.

Result. Rum party tomorrow then

I’ll take part in spirit, but not on zoom!

Lovely jubbly

Got mine as well. Quite cool 3-piece all-paper bottle packaging in the box which looked like it could take a proper beating and still keep the contents intact. That impressed me.

Have to admit I didn’t appreciate the packaging, possibly distracted by the complimentary gin miniature

Well the whites pretty smooth

I got a Whitley rhubarb and ginger. What about you?

The 12 is very very good

Straight for the 12 with lime and snooker. Decent.

@richardaldred yes same gin, one for Mrs Z

Rhubarb and ginger here too!
MrsDeth wasn't overly impressed but said she'll drink it

12 is very drinkable. Dangerous for a school night

Without wishing to pollute the rum chat with further gin, it's good with Fentimans pink rhubarb tonic
