Rum thread!


mshills

Recommended Posts

I've recently relocated to sunny Miami, and I'm gravitating away from my drink of choice over the years (Scotch), as it just doesn't "feel" like a hot weather drink.

 

I want to learn about rum. I'm not much for mixed cocktails -- my idea of a "mixed drink" is brown liquor and maybe an ice cube. So, looking for advice on good sippin' rums. I've enjoyed Pampero Aniversario and Zacapa Centenario.

 

Looking to branch out and get educated. Let's hear it!

When I went to St Croix a couple years ago we did a tour of the Cruzan facility and I had the Cruzan Single Barrel Rum. Prior to this the only liquor I really drink on the rocks is vodka so other than that I dont drink a lot of stuff on the rocks - whisky, scotch nothing like that. But wow, this really blew me away. Doesnt make it into my heavy rotation but on that day it definitely made it into my glass as I "relaxed" in one of their hammocks.

I love 10 Cane and Cockspur. And I will never pass on a snifter of the Pampero. The best I have ever tasted was the Prichard's. I seem to really enjoy the aged or darker colored rums. I can't seem to get past the sterile taste of White rums (I tend to put diet coke in white rums). Maybe I just haven't gotten into a good one. A friend of mine swears by the Mount Gay Silver for sipping very cold.

I would love to get my hands on a nice aged Cachaca

Keep it coming, gents. I'm not much for the white rums -- it just seems to me that something I'm either going to have neat or over ice should be BROWN. :-) But I'm an equal opportunity sipper, so I'm open to experimenting.

Sounds like I need to try a Cruzan Single Barrel,10 Cane, Cockspur. Will report back.

The Kraken is good. I didn't enjoy straight (could be because it's spiced).....but it made an awesome rum & coke.

Maybe that was my problem. Because I would always seem to drink it straight and hit the Kraken when I was already tanked. Then, I would go around and knocking over street signs and act like King Kong. Wife would eventually have to come find me on standing on a pool table hitting balls at people in the dive bar down the road.

Good thing that bottle ran out....

I started with Scotch neat...then took a liking to bourbon...then added rum to the cabinet. Good sipping rums; El Dorado 8yr Cask, 12yr, 15yr and 21yr. The whole El Dorago line is great...the 21 is WOW...not wealthy enough to try the 25yr. Appletons 12yr and Master Blenders Legacy. Mount Gay XO. Havana Club Barrel Proof (now rebranded as Selection de Maestros). Angostura 1919. Best value cheap sippers; Havana Club Anejo Reserva and Plantation Grande Reserve (both about $20)

Spoon. Tanduay sells rum you can buy in casks. You have to have a connection in the company or a bigger account.

My friend has one. You can replicate the smoothness by buying the Tanduay product you like and refilling the small cask/barrel. Let it sit 3 months and your good to go.

Still prefer single malts and vodka.

If you ever get to Barbados, skip the Mount Gay tour and see St Nicholas' Abbey. Then, grab a bottle of their 12 year old and you'll wonder why you ever drank that swill from Mount Gay (which is utterly fantastic rum in its own right!).

I was born in Guyana. I love El Dorado 15yrs old on the rocks. Chasing it with fresh coconut water is money!!!

Rum might as well be the official alcohol of Florida. In all my travels my favorite bottle of Rum is the following. For the price, there is nothing even close to it in terms of quality for such a small bounty.

I picked up a bottle of this on Friday because of this thread. Really smooth with some caramel aftertaste. It’s not bad, but bordering on almost too sweet for my taste.
