Ron Centenario XX Anos Fundacion

Well my friend works for a liquor distributor and I got hold of a MD beverage journal the place uses. So far i'm not seeing it in MD anywhere.

Oh well.

After reading through this thread, I went ahead and picked up a bottle of Diplomaticos Reserva and everything I read in here was spot on!!!

Very tasty treat, no doubt!

Will have to get the Ron Centenario XX next.

I have also come to enjoy Ron Anejo Botran Solera 1893 and Oronoco. I would have to say my favorites so far are Havana Club 7yr, Zacapa XO, Zaya and the Diplomaticos Reserva but I still have a lot of rums to try.

Zacapa 23 FTW!

Day to day I actually love a Kraken (with a cube) with cigars. Bloody excellent stuff. Quite reasonable too.

I just got an e-mail from SV. This stuff is on sale right now for <$30 before shipping. Here's a link: http://www.shoppersvineyard.com/stor...M-302p8827.htm

And there's a shipping discount code for the rest of May. SV5 will get you $5 off shipping. I picked up a bottle of it, and a bottle of Zaya. I've never had either, and haven't been able to find them locally.

Hope this helps a BOTL.

anybody like flavored rums? I do appreciate a good flavored rum. Don't get me wrong I love the Pyrat, ron Zacapa, and Zimcaya rums. But I really like the vanilla flavored rums like Brimley gold and there is a rum called Sebastion's that you can get in tortola. Its fantastic. Calypso Island, now made by cruzan, used to be absolutely amazing, but since they were bought out, they changed and are not as good.

I had some Ron Abuelo 12 yr over the weekend. It was very smooth. It had a nice clean finish.

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the older bottles of Zaya and the newer ones since the factory was moved?

I understand that there is a slight difference in the labeling but I have no idea as to what it is.

The old bottles say Guatemala, the new, Trinidad, if that is what you mean, sir.
There are one or two other small differences, as I recall, but that is the easiest to remember.

That is great info. I was not aware of the difference in countries, but that is a big help and very easy to remember.

BTW, if you know where there is any Guat, don't tell Wayne.

You can PM me, though.
