By the way, is the cork as heavy as it looks or is that plastic?😄 That’s one seriously awesome device. ---

that gives the phrase »on the rocks« a completely new meaning 😅 ---

Right now I have a blend resting of 4 equal parts: - World of Esters [RX12364](https://rumx.com/en/rums/12364/) - Rummieclub Overproof [RX9437](https://rumx.com/en/rums/9437/) - Nectar le Galion [RX12657](https://rumx.com/en/rums/12657/) - Warehouse #1 NYE/WK [RX10891](https://rumx.com/en/rums/10891/) At the moment the esters must be fighting each other because it doesn’t smell like much. Hopefully a bit more resting will bring out the flavours. It mostly is curiosity that gets me blending: “How would this taste with that?” ---

“Fighting each other” is quite right. In my experience, blends of unaged rums need a lot of time to stabilise. Which aromas come forward and which get lost can swing back and forth dramatically. I’d give an unaged blend 2-3 months rest before I’d consider it done. Aged blends don’t seem to behave that way but I’ve mixed unaged blends that seemed balanced at the start, got dominated by one component after a week or two and the other component a couple of weeks later. ---

Using just the Papalin 5 as the high ester component would probably work out better. The notes from the TCRL Hampden hold up well if not too well, the dark notes from the Diamond are barely there. I’ll probably try a 25:50:25 blend of Papalin 5:TCRL Hampden:Diamond MDR next but not today. ---

> [@Your best homemade blend?](https://community.rumx.com/t/your-best-homemade-blend/29733): > > Hello everyone, I don’t know if like me when you taste multiple rums you think “those are amazing ! But… What would be if I mix the two…?”. So, sometimes with the remaining few centiliters of my bottles, I try some homemade blend. I thought that would be a good topic to share our best discovered blends. Have you tried that ? Recently, I tried to mix a STCE 2010 from velier (65%) with an Albion 2004 from el dorado (35%). The result was simply amazing! Cheers! It’s definitely fun to create your own blend. 👍 ---

We even had a Home Blend Online Community Tasting. That was pretty exciting. I’m also looking forward to Part 2 🤗🤗🤗 [https://community.rumx.com/t/de-cypher-the-blend-grandmasterclass/20621](https://community.rumx.com/t/de-cypher-the-blend-grandmasterclass/20621) ---

I thought that at first too, but it’s actually real volcanic rock. It looks mighty, but it’s very light. ![image_cropper_1790138097213](https://community.rumx.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/0/c0a744344683925b481f563fe5e47f2ba5be8bea.jpeg) ---

I find the 57% a little better than this one, but the 47% is still good imo. I have introduced quite a few people to ester this way 😏 ---

They should not sell too many of these bottles, otherwise Nicaragua will shrink significantly. ---

When the bottle is empty, you can use the stone to remove calluses on your feet. 🤔 ---
