The Rum Thread

Porch Dweller · 01-14-2014, 06:50 AM

I spent some time in Honduras back in the early '90's and have been a big fan of aged Flor de Cana ever since.

I have been a fan of Goslings for years and Juan de Barrilito the 3 or 5 star are best but cant seem to find it here in the states. Even the liquor distributors that say they carry never seem to be able to get it. Years ago I was a die hard Bacardi fan especially when they first came out with black. I have tried many of the Appleton's and many of the spiced rums too. I think my favorite spiced would be Kraken but Sailor Jerry runs a very close second. I started this thread as I am searching for new ideas to try if I can get them here, and wanted to hear people's opinions of them. For myself the white or clear varieties of rum tend to have little flavor but are good for mixed drinks while the darker ones and spiced ones (a few anyway) are good as a stand alone.

I was a Zaya fan, but then I discovered Ron Zacapa 23yr and XO.

Others I like.
Cruzan Single Barrel
Ron Barcelo Imperial
Pampero - Anivesario

I like the 7 years much better than the 18 years myself. And I tried both in bulk this week in Esteli
