Newfoundland Screech Rum Review

You guys crack me up. Great review. I'm sure you will enjoy the Tito's more. In terms of quality in any case.

Remember if it's Ten High, there are nine even lower...

Toldja.

Nuff' said.

I'm glad you guys are out there making the world safe for drunks everywhere.

Wow you have to be kidding me? Screech is not that strong. I mix it with Ginger Ale all the time and it makes a wonderful drink. I never get hangovers from it and I find it has a very nice sweet caramel type taste.

Please if anyone reads this, do not be turned from Screech because of the review above. It is worth a try.

though its not as strong as legand has it, i still have a hard time taking straight shots. for those with weaker stomachs i suggest scrape juice
( screech and grape juice mixed ) it goes down smooth and taste refreshing

hmmm okay

on this ferry-freighter i took up the coast of labrador, the crew wasn't allowed to touch a drop of alcohol.

so these were very thirsty sailors when the ship returned to Saint Anthony Newfoundland.

i ran into them at a bar the night the ship docked.

i'm a newspaper reporter. so for the next 5 or 6 hours, it was Sailors vs. Newspapermen.

they introduced me to the local beverage: Screech rum.

i got really fond of it very quickly.

yes indeed it's a rough and nasty sort of drink.

but i buy it whenever i can get my hands on it. i particularly like to travel around with miniatures. it's also wonderful to pour into coffee in the winter.

Screech must be very much like 17th and 18th century pirate rum. There's absolutely no effort to make it smooth or palatable, it's just powerful fermented molasses.

I am buzzed on screech for the first time in my life and I am from Newfoundland.

MY GOD this stuff is harsh!! But... by god does it ever give you the buzz you are looking for. YEA bring it on me jolly boys!!

P.s it’s amazing that I can type in this drunken state!!!

Howlin good taste. The Three of us, Capt. Payo, Boatswains mate Ellic, and the Teague (he's Irish) Love our Rum/Rhum. on average we go through about a Case of Screech every 2-3 weeks. We praise screech for its great taste(not like thoes sickly sweet rums) We stick to the three cardnal rules of Rum/Rhum drinking: Once a bottle is placed on the table it must be opened (to let out the dark spirits), once a bottle is opened it may never be restoppered or it will go bad, and once opened, a bottle must be drank as quickly as possible before "all t'good goes out of it." We have found that by following these rules we will never go wrong and are often quite taken to dress as colonial soldiers and dance Irish Jigs atop coffee tables.

Buddy, get your paws on Cabot Tower, another Newfie Rum. That shit will peel paint off the walls, and destroy your esophagus on the way down. i can never decide if it is worse then screech or not.

the stuff is supposed to be harsh. if you can't take it go back to drinking coolers or whatever.

Screech is not Newfie at all but it is popular there. It has a VERY bold and rich taste; not for the "vanilla" palette. Particularly those who tend to enjoy rums like Lemon Heart or Appleton Estates. These rums are like drinking Miller “Extra Light”. I enjoy its strong flavor and find most people can’t handle it. But all the more for me!

listen, im from newfoundland and it sounds to mw like your just a bunch of mainland bitches, do me and the rest of the world a favor and stick to the water you guys call rum.
