On the way home from Orlando this afternoon, we stopped at my favorite liquor store up there, and I picked up a few new rums. All but the Ron Barcelo are new to us. The Tanduay is particularly interesting, made in the Philippines. The Bohemio is from Panama, and the others are Dominican.

Based on the recommendations in this thread I've been upping my rum game. The Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 is excellent (and very inexpensive) as is the el Pasador de Oro XO. The Don Q Gran Anejo and the Pampero Aniversario were solid too.

Tried that one, not a huge fan

Okay, technically not rum, but sold in the rum aisle since it could be considered a cousin.

Brazilian Ypioca Ouro cachaca for a warm day in a refreshing Caipirinha.

Not my personal fav either but a couple of my players like it.

Got this as a gift a few years ago which started my rum obsession.

Great value and flavors. buy more than one bottle.

My current lineup

 

[justsomedude]

Ice: Ron Zacapa Centenario 23
neat: Plantation XO 20yr
Mixed: Zaya Gran Reserva 12 Year or Diplomatico Resrva Exclusiva

Poker chips and Rum. And blonds.

I actually love the Zaya with ice or neat. One of my faves.

But then, I prefer brunettes as well. So maybe we're just on different pages.

Beautiful bottle, but what's the turd for?

 

[PokerShark]

I do love me some rum!
Mount Gay is what I drink the most, used as a mixer.
Ron Zacapa 23 is excellent on it’s own. Haven’t tried the XO variant yet (maybe at Christmas).
Havana Club if I am making mojitos.
The Saint James is something I picked up in Corsica as it was available. Drinkable mixer.

If I’m out at a pub or a bar then I’ll be lucky if Mount Gay is available but Sailor Jerry, Captain Morgan or Kraken are acceptable substitutes for my rum and coke fix.

Enjoyed this neat with a ryj short churchhill.

This might be heresy to a purist, but this Plantation Pineapple makes a hell of a tasty classic daquari.

 

[AfterTheFact]

Got a few new bottles for my 50th.

Did someone say rum?

I lived in the Caribbean for nearly 4 years and developed a taste. Ron Zacapa is probably my favorite - the xo is sublime. The plantation xo is great value for money.

Rum and coconut water is one of the best drinks on the planet.

Pampero is one of my favorites!

Plantation xo for the win.

Nice haul, and happy b-day! Let there be cake!

Cake and rum go together *really* well!

 

[mipevi]
