Newfoundland Screech?!!! - PortlandCarbo - 11-20-2005

I'm looking to find a way to buy some Screech as a gift for a friend & was hoping one of you might be able to help???... I would really appreciate it! I have a paypal account and would of course pay the bottle/shipping costs before - but I'm not even sure if you can ship it & if there are border issues?
Thanks in advance for the ideas & help! :thumb:

crazy dark rum, i had some in september, too bad he won't be able to kiss the cod fish (as per tradition)

but even if you're in the u.s. according to their site it's available in certain states

Maine
New Hampshire
Vermont

maybe if the border things to complicated you could order from a store there?

Thanks Kleh, I saw that - but they won't ship to me. Maybe a local liq. store can order it. Hmmm, I'll check on that tomorrow *monday*.

Are there any Newfoundland members out there????? I know I've seen ya before!

that is somm bad ass rum...emphasis on bad :mrgreen:

- worldpeace - 11-21-2005

it's 70 percent alcohol volume or something I heard.

I'm from Newfoundland myself, and the cruel irony is that most Screech is now made in Jamaica and merely bottled in Newfoundland. The stuff is vile to say the least, and the majority of us Newfies won't even touch it. It's something we basically feed to others as a "tradition". There's really nothing special about modern Screech as it's nothing more than rum containing 40% alcohol with a label saying Newfoundland Screech. That being said, I still get a bottle of the stuff from my father every year at Christmas.

Iceberg Vodka is definitely a far superior Newfie beverage. For a better taste of back home, try to find a case of Black Horse or Blue Star...

My dad got me drinking screech (we have no family ties to Newfoundland), I thought it was good stuff, got me drunk really fast...

okay, make that a bottle of screech and a 6pack of blue star.
honestly though, is there anyway to get both of these things short of traveling to the rock?
:lol:

- D-man - 11-22-2005

Screech is obtained easily enough. As for Blue Star, I'm not so sure...
