The Rum Thread

[Kjonus]

So after seeing all the love for Scotch I thought that I'd see if there is as much love for the rum drinkers out there.

My current fav is Koloa Dark Rum

[davidI]

I find Rum very sweet and don't drink it very often but when I do, I like Flor De Cana from Nicaragua.

[roopi]

Never touch the stuff but someone gave me some Captain Private Stock on ice and it was actual decent. My guess is though that Captains probably isn't anything special to rum people.

[Nismorphed]

Lambs Black Sheep spiced rum is my favorite. With coke and I'm in heaven

[ExtraSlow]

There's been a couple rum threads over the years, but none really got too far. Just looked back and here's my post from one of them. I still stand by it.

my go-to has always been Havana Club. Make sure it's the real cuban stuff, not the US market variety that's made in Peurto Rico, as it's not the same.

Iv'e had some of the Zaya Gran Reserva as well, and it's excellent.
Since then I've done:
Flor De Cana, - I liked it.
Mount Gay - not too crazy about it.


Have done a bunch of different ones, and honestly, I've never found anything I like better than the 7 year Havana Club. It's a great value too, considering every drop in the blend is a minimum of 7 years old, that's not an average like some blends. I'm a bit of a heathen though, as I usually mix it with a splash of ginger ale. Ah well,
:guns: :guns:

Always liked Legendario from Cuba.

[syscal]

Wife is Guyanese, mother in law had El Dorado...made me a spiced rum lover. This is my favorite so far.

Had Mount Gay last weekend and liked it as well.

Both of those I'd drink straight.

Lambs and Bacardi have been failures unless mixed with Coke...so I don't have to taste them :barf:

What age? I've heard lots of people like it, but I tried a bottle of the 7 year and didn't even enjoy it in a mix.

I'm not a fan of the 4-year (or any clear rum really) but very happy to mix the 7 or drink the 12 / 18 neat.

I'm not a big drinker, but my boss gave me a bottle of this last year and I enjoyed it.

for all you scotch guys; give this a go, its got a lot more in common taste wise with scotch i find than rum

[jacky4566]

Say all you want, for a regular rum and coke this is what I drink.

Love the flavour.

[Inzane]

I know Appletons doesn't seem to get a lot of love out there, but don't knock the brand until you've tried their 12 year Extra Reserve.

It's good enough to sip neat.

Old Monk Used to be my go to, but then they started finding glass shards in the bottles haha. Switched to plastic, and it was never the same.

I have made a batch of my own, and it turned out pretty delicious. If you have time and paitence, its really not that hard.

[Kavy]

Rum is my go to drink, I find I have to have coke zero with rum or its just way too sweet.

I am a big fan of Sailor Jerry's

Ron Zacapa is my favorite, others I enjoy:
Flor de Cana (Nicaragua)
Ron Abuelo (Panama)

[ercchry]

if im going to mix my rum these are the two i like, starting drinking both on trips to the caribbean

cruzan, stuff is dirt cheap in the USVI

http://www.bartender.com/2calendar/cal-2009/Cal09BarMag-07adver.jpg

and brugal, we started getting our drinks poured with this once we started tipping the same dude everyday at the resort in the DR

http://listek.leroybar.sk/sites/default/files/alkohol/9477-brugaklb_cd.jpg

both are getting pretty easy to find in town which i like, priced like captain's too

[mr2mike]

Koloa is terrible. Went and did a tour at their shop in Hawaii when I was there. The dark was marginally better than Captain Morgan but for the price, there's way better.

I stick to Havana Club, Mount Gay, Diplomatico or Appleton 12 yr.

http://www.whiskyantique.com/dati/immagini/ru0270e1180-19_IM168413.jpg

Havana and Appleton are quite sweet and so is Mount Gay. Diplomatico you could pour neat and enjoy.

Cruzan isn't bad just not my top one.
Captain Morgan Private Stock is ok.
Brugal is in this category too.

Captain Morgan Lime bite run is good for rum and coke if you don't have a lime.

Sailor Jerry and Kraken are in my lower category as they're terrible neat. Just marketed well.
Captain Morgan Black spiced rum is not good. Fake coloring added to make it look aged. It isn't.

Navy and Lamb's is by far the worst. Also White Koloa is this bad too, just you'll pay more for it.

I've had my share of rum tastings and it's interesting to have someone pour samples of a bunch of decent rum and you blind test them. Top picks aren't always the one your tastes chooses.

[Kjonus]

Wow some great response. Lets keep it going.

Was surprised Lamb's was talked about all, pretty bottom of the barrel for me. But again everyone has different taste as mr2mike isn't a fan of Koloa but I seem to think its pretty good.

As for what else I have in the cabinet which I've been working on;

El Dorado 12 year (a good Demerara which most isn't)
Ron Santiago de Cuba (dark)
Legendario Elixir (pulled right off the bottling line in Havana)
Pyrat XO Reserve
Old Sam (Demerara too)
Appleton Estate V/X
Appleton Estate 12 Year Old

....do I have a problem :D

[Nufy]

A colleague brought some of this on our golf trip last year...

http://www.saintluciarums.com/images/right-panel/admiral-rodney.jpg

Very very good...


Other than that I have a couple different years of Appletons in my bar at all times.

The eldorado 12 year as someone else mentioned is very good as well.

I stick to Havana Club, Mount Gay, Diplomatico or Appleton 12 yr.

For me it's Kraken for a rum and coke or Diplomatico for a neat drink / sipping.

Had my first Diplomatico Reserve, neat the other night. It was an absolute pleasure!

The misses came back from Bahama's with a bottle of Tortuga! It's pretty delicious as well.

I am a big fan of Sailor Jerry's

http://boozewarehouse.widagroup.net/images/ww/Products/sailor-jerry-rum.jpg

Are you kidding?

Sailor Jerry's is disgusting. I remember it was what all the kids got in university when they couldn't afford anything else. I think it was like $13 for a bottle when I was going to school in the US. I thought it was one of the nastiest alcohols I had ever dranken, and the hangovers from drinking it were death.

To be completely honest, my favourite rum is bacardi gold. Yeah it's cheap, but I think it tastes great.

[ExtraSlow]

Based on Mike's recommendation, I picked up some Diplomatico. Wow is that smooth for sipping. Did a little head to head with it and Havana Club, and it's no comparison.
Couple bucks more, so maybe it's overkill when you're mixing, but I think I'll try to have a bottle of that around the house from now on.

[mr2mike]

Excellent. Glad you like it.

Just bought some Plantation 20yr Thanks to kaput's recommendation.
Giving it to my dad for xmas.

Fyi for anyone looking for these rums. There's a lot of very high end selection at Liquor Depot in Brentwood. Some are in the $200 range.

[2Legit2Quit]

What rum goes best with eggnog?

[ExtraSlow]

Whatever bottle is largest. I can't stand eggnog unless it's at least 50% diluted with rum.

[npham]

Here's what I have on the go right now:

Flor de Cana 4 Year White
Flor de Cana 7 Year Dark
Bacardi 8 Year Dark

All are great value, but the Bacardi with Coke has been really good.

[codetrap]

Is good... :thumbsup:

There is however a rum thread.

I will however give props to anyone posting drunk, as I have enjoyed that pastime in the . . .past?

Props for me then!!!

drinking and interneting(I know this isn't a real word!) is a bad idea!

If anyone is interested, I noticed that the Plantation Barbados 20 is down to $60 at Coop now. The last bottle I had a year or two ago was closer to $90 and was well worth that price. It's a steal now.

Which Co-Op did you see it at?

Would you agree that the 12yr is much, much nicer than the standard V/X? Well worth the extra ~ $10/bottle IMHO.

[mr2mike]

Yes the 12 yr is better than the V/X. However, you're getting into the price point where going for something even smoother is also a choice. Keep that in mind for next time.


Review on Plantation Barbados 20.
Insanely smooth. Buttery, banana aftertaste and well worth the money. Very dangerous as it doesn't even taste like alcohol.

Picked up some Mont Gay rum at duty free for cheap.
Basically got two sets of Rum's now. Mixed drinks or straight.

[J.M.]

Looks like I gotta pick up some Plantation Barbados 20.

[kaput]

.

[roopi]

Picked up some Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros in Cuba at the duty free. I've never tried it before. Not much of a rum drinker so i probably won't open it until I have a guest request it. Is it anything special?

[SilverKast]

My favorite is the Centenario rum from Costa Rica (not to be confused with the Zacapa). Unfortunately it's not available anywhere in Alberta as far as I know. I even had Willow Park look it up to see if it was something available and they said no. So this far I'm limited to getting it when I know anyone going down to Costa Rica or anywhere thereabouts that sells it!

I also enjoy Zaya, and it's convenient as Costco carries it as well :D

grabbed a bottle of this today, its super smooth… seems like a deal at $60/bottle (willowpark) but that might be cause im use to scotch prices :rofl:

For those interested Co-Op has Dictador 12 year on sale for $10 off, figured I'd get one for the collection :drool:

That's one of the best reasons to drink rum. Not nearly the same insane markups. Plus, peaty scotch makes my farts foul . . . er.
:barf:

[The_Penguin]

I know someone mentioned the 21 year old, but this is surprisingly good for under $40.00

My favorite rum is English Harbour 5 year. Had it when I went down to Antigua for field school in 2004, and you can get it at ~$30 a bottle at Willow Park. For the age, it's actually really smooth and gives a good sugary finish that doesn't heat up as much as scotches do on the tongue.

Also, for just over $100, you can get English Harbour 10 year... it's a lot more up front and punch-you-in-the-nose, but it mellows out VERY fast and is like drinking liquid alcoholic caramel :D

Agreed. The 12 and the 15 year are my go to rums for regular sipping.

Having said that, how can we have a rum thread and not a single mention of Gosling's?!? So good.

Does it taste like rubbing alcohol?

[Deetz]

no man, all you do is mix it in a larger quantity.....it's actually amazing with pretty much any juice and makes wicked rum punches

[nonofyobiz]

My brother brought El Dorado 15 at Christmas and I really enjoyed it... Then I saw the price... Sub $50 on sale at solo and I couldn't believe it. . Didn't much care for the 12yr though.

Anyone have some good recommendations for something to replace captions spiced?

[RealJimmyJames]

Kraken or sailor jerry.

Captains Private stock?
Either or has been my go to for years, but I also enjoy a Flor de cana blue label similair to what erchhry suggested it' s a little more reasonable regular priced and very smooth..
Zaya rum is also on sale for $49 a bottle at safeway, quite a deal imo.

I agree with jimmy, go with sailor jerry. Same price point but superior to captains in every way.

[ExtraSlow]

Captains is awful rum. They water it down to 35%. I still buy it when it's on sale for mixed drinks because I'm a cheapskate. Kraken is pretty decent although I don't prefer spiced rum for drinking on the rocks. Have a bottle of sailor Jerry in the cabinet right now. Decent enough as long as you aren't paying a true premium price.

Give Baron Samedi Spiced Rum a try its 90 proof but not harsh in my mind, easy to drink on the rocks.

[tirebob]

For mixing drinks I am partial to Lemonhart, but I have a bottle of Flor de Cana 18 for sipping although it rarely gets touched as I just can't find anything as satisfying as Scotch for my go to drink.

[mr2mike]

Picked up some Plantation 5yr rum. Quickly cut the rope off the bottle because what is this?! I don't own a bondage craft room.

As smooth as it gets for that price point. $32

LoL at your^ necro bump!

Plantation XO (I think it's called) is my favourite, ever. I think it's roughly $65, also Barbados and maybe older.
Also has silly string.

[mr2mike]

Had it.
Arguably better but also more $.

Gotta bump everything.

[ExtraSlow]

Happy to see this thread is still bumping. I have been drinking Coop Spiced rum with my PC Eggnog. It bumps.

[2Legit2Quit]

Big bottle of Mount Gay from Costco is my go to for rum #gayandproud

Anyone tried Bumbu?

Pretty sweet by itself so best to have on rocks.

I'm convinced they spike that with crack.

Not a fan of 35% rums that pretend like they’re not just liquors… yeah, I’m looking at you too captain’s private stock!

[ExtraSlow]

I'm on the coop rum today. Mix with sprite because I have fond memories of a trip to the Dominican where we did a "monster truck safari" and the guides called it "Sante Libre" and everyone got absolutely plastered before we visited a Haitian village where there were poor people to look at.

I love experiencing other cultures. Good times.

Not tried Private stock. What is that like? Flor De Cana is good. I have a small bottle of that.
Im not a fan of Sailor Jerry, the taste feels opposite to me. It's like the no frills brand of spiced rum. How you guys like that I do not know.
Samedi Spiced Rum any good?

Private stock is liquid sugar

Something fairly reasonable at ~$40 and a nice smooth, buttery rum is cruzan’s single barrel

[tha_bandit]

bumbu not bad, costco had some zaya gran reserva, it was pretty good

[mr2mike]

Zaya is also a good choice. Costco is the place to buy that.

Zaya is what Mr. Mike's serves at their salad bar.
So... No.

Tried it for the 1st time. It was pretty sweet by itself, so it stayed in the cabinet for a bit, decided to try it with some ice and its some good stuff! Reminds me of rum and coke mix

That looks interesting. How was it?

It was nice, not as good as Bumbu but definitely had a nice smooth flavour. You could definitely notice some spice & honey.

Did you find that locally in Calgary? I haven't seen it myself but would like too get some. The Gunpowder and Rose Rum they make is good as well, it won some awards back in 2019.

Yes, Aspen Wine & Spirits is carrying it, it’s new to the store.

Picked this up today, looked interesting.

Will report back later.

Not holding up high hopes.
What's the details on the cask source and sugar sources?

[ExtraSlow]

They make good whiskey when they want to.
