BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Rum

"Best" is subjective, of course, but I can tell you some of my favorites:
- Zaya, from Trinidad, is excellent. It used to be made in Guatemala - if you can find a bottle of the Guatemalan stuff, buy it! But, the Trinidadan stuff is also very good...goes for about $45/bottle
- Ron Zacapa 23 Años - was my favorite until I found Zaya. Again, around $45/bottle
- Pyrat - high quality, not as much molasses flavor as Zaya or Ron Zacapa, but a fine sipping rum, $40/bottle
- Mount Gay Extra Old - what rum should be: heavy, aromatic, sweet with a spicy bite on the back of your tongue. Goes great with a full-bodied cigar. $45/bottle
- Ron Matusalem - this one is a bit lighter, for a sipping rum, which makes for a more pronounced alcohol taste on the front, but settles into a nice caramel aftertaste. $35-40/bottle
If you really want sweet, you could try a spiced rum, like Captain Morgan or Admiral Nelson. However, the best of the spiced rum bunch (my opinion) is Sailor Jerry.
Hope this helps get you started!

Depends on what you are drinking it with or on the rocks. There are a lot of different rums!

Zacapa XO is fantastic too, and it can be had for $50 dollars a bottle right now, just google it.
Zaya is tasty, but Im digging the diplomatico that the guys at the leaf introduced me to.
Havent tried a lot of others yer, but have about four different bottles of stuff on the way.
