Damn... I only saw the (4) clear, I would of at least had a glass.

That is horrible to hear... I hope it makes it the year as well.

I just got through talking to Dave from this rum review website. I was put in touch through the owner of an obscure liquor store that noticed me checking the back of his rum shelves, something I always do, looking for Guat Zaya. Dave does the same thing. He said he believes similar rums are Botran Solera 1893, Diplimatico "green bottle", and Zacapa, which the last I already knew. I will keep my eyes out for those others now.

Best rum I've ever had, period. Going to order another a bottle soon

Looks $$$

That's the beauty of it...not really considering how good it is. You can find it online for around $50-60.

IF that's above your range, the Don Q Gold runs around $20.

Bill86 · 09-16-2011, 01:54 PM

I wasnt a fan of the Don Q I bought that same bottle for $56 I'd say it is easily priced $20-$25 too high.

Even better if it's aged 15 years...

My current "go-to" rum

And when I'm in the mood for something sweet:

I know that some purists will sneer, but I really enjoy the stuff.

Frodo · 10-22-2011, 06:00 PM

I really want to try a bottle of the Brugal 1888. New expression that is aged in sherry casks !?! Loved the Brugal Extra Viejo...

10-22-2011, 07:19 PM

Mmmmm, Zaya. I'm fine with the new stuff.

theonlybear4CORT · 10-23-2011, 06:31 AM

I really like the zacapa.

Have any of you had the BRINLEY GOLD VANILLA RUM? The local grocery store had them for $10 a bottle. So, I picked up a couple.

Tredegar · 11-02-2011, 07:33 AM

I am a big fan of Ron Zacapa but last night I got turned on to some El Dorado 12 year old rum. Man, what a great flavor that has! Smooth, sweet and very thick molasses flavor.

theonlybear4CORT · 11-02-2011, 06:23 PM

Is it priced cheaper then the zacapa?

Last time I bought some, it was.

replicant_argent · 11-03-2011, 09:14 AM

about 15 bucks cheaper, as I recall.

Tredegar · 11-03-2011, 09:49 AM

Yep. About 15-20 bucks cheaper than Ron Zacapa. They also have a 15 and 21 year old rum. The guy said he tried both but he swore by the 12 year old.

Skywalker · 11-05-2011, 10:57 AM

Just picked up some Bacardi Oakheart.

I was concerned, because it was Bacardi, that it would be a mixed drink type rum.

It is good for sipping!

I think it tastes great. I had two glasses last night!

darkleeroy · 11-07-2011, 07:28 PM

I hear Oakheart is really good, I passed on it the one time it was offered to me. Sailor Jerry is currently my favorite spiced, which isn't really a nice rum at all, but it tastes good with Coke Zero.

I'm partial to Zacapa atm, going to buy a bottle this Wed.

I just bought a bottle of Flor de Cana 4 yo this weekend. Nothing impressive.
