Any Rum Connoisseurs?

[Dannyboy]

I started out drinking Mount Gay Extra Old but now I drink Zaya.  There have been a few other bottles in between but Zaya has been the best one so far.  Ron Zacapa 23 is a close second.  I need to find a bottle of that Mount Gay Tri.

on our honeymoon in Barbados we took a tour of the mount gay rum distillery. Didnt really get to see anything they just show you barrels that are aging the rum and such none of the actual process. The tasting after the tour was fun!
The tour guide said rum was invented in barbados and MT gay was the oldest distillery.

I've not made it to the high $ rums yet.  

These are two of my favorites.

We usually have a bottle of the Cruzan and Black Seal around.

The Cruzan makes a mean bananas foster.   

We are currently nursing a bottle of this:

Cruzan makes solid flavored rums good for cocktails or single mixed drinks but, they tend to be overly sweet and that plus teh sweetnes of the mixer is a dangerous fatal combination !!!

I know you guys can't get this in the U.S, but my absolute favourite rums.

Lets see, I'll update my selections.

Pyrat Pistol:


Kraken - Dark like blackstrap but not as sweet as Crazan blackstrap or Goslins Black Seal.


Captain Spiced silver for making Mojitos, but since DM620 mentioned the Appletons white (I can get it, $1 cheaper than Captain) I'll give it a shot in my Mojitos.

That Havana Club linup looks nice!

pitbull, where you at?

JM, Appleton White is smooth, not as 'rough going down' as some other wihites ...
duccarlos, that's a great one

I've been partial lately to 10 Cane rum. Going to have to try the Mount Gay as well.

[the_Journeyman]

I've tried the 10 Cane, and just can't seem to get into it.  It is halfway between my preferences, I use white/silver or dark to really dark.

Yes yes y-e-s! When I was last in Belize I brought a ... quantity ... of that back, for $5 a bottle at the time, can't go wrong

Having some of this at the moment:



Not the best I've had, but far from the worst

Release the Kraken!

I generally keep a bottle of Tortuga and a bottle of Black Seal.

Tortuga is good, but if I can't find it, I'll buy some Appleton (it's made at the same place, now days).

Black Seal is my favorite to sit and drink on in the evenings.
