Rum-What should I try?

[Moro]

...Sad thing is it will be gone come 3/29.

Thanks again.

We can always fix that...

No way!!! Dogfish Head Makes a rum!!! its on the link Smokinfish threw up. Without exaggerating, dogfish head is THE BEST brewery in the world! their beers are out of this world! if you can find a liquor store that can pull enough strings to even get it, and they're not sold out:crosseyed

Me go-to is actually the Varadero 7 years Añejo (Cuban and, in me humble opinion, better than Havana Club).

I'll second that vote for Varadero & over HC7. The Varadero seems to only be available in Cuba & Spain.

For you PA folks, the PLCB internet site has Rum Clement Cherub from Marinique, a delicious aged rum with orange & other spices.

ok pyrat xo reserve or matusalem gran reserve? which should i choose?

Pyrat tastes like butterscotch to me. No thanks!opeyes:

Once we were able to get it here, but I can no longer find it... :hanghead: Need to milk the last bottle I still have and go to Cuba again...(sure, just like that, oi?)

Moro, I'm a fan of Bacardi Solera and Anejo down in your neck of the woods. can't buy it up here, so I stock up whenever I go to Mexico. heh. Nice stuff.

Definitely going to look for a bottle of the Matusalem now, based on the recommendations here.

Old Monk from India is really good I thought. :waving:

 

[Bull Moose]

Get the Matusalem Gran Reserva and pair it with a nice CC....HEAVEN. Something anyone who can get a hold on both should try!

 

[tatjunkie]

I'm no expert in rum, seeing as there is a lot I have not had but Zaya Gran reserva is great! Smooth as can be and delicious straight up or with coke

Are you talking about the old Zaya (Guatemala) or new Zaya (Trinidad)? I've heard mixed reviews about the new stuff so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's still good.

If you like Zaya then I would definitely recommend Ron Zacapa 23.

I have to admit I do love some Appleton.

 

[smokem94]

Can you get the matusalem in Canada or Mexico???? I would like to get some based on this thread.

 

[Phi Delt]

Pretty sure you can get it here in Canada. Just have to find somewhere local that carries it. ::cbig:

Trinidad

Appelton rum from Jamaica is great as well

Ye can get it in the U.S. Though it is cheaper here.

Not too much of a fan there...sorry.

I thought it was from Cuba....sorry

It originally was Cuba's most sold rum; now it simply keeps the recipe. But it still is incredibly good.
