Rummm?

[s0leful0ne]

I am currently enjoying some Ron Zacapa and an illusione 4/2g.

What are your favorite rums?

 

[Padron_26_64_4_Me]

Flor de Cano or 10 Cane

And the folks here had a bit of the best of both worlds...

Zaya. Hands down.

 

[smokinghole]

Thus far Zaya has a slight lead on Zacapa for me but I buy both bottles equally. I also have a bottle of Dogfish head brown honey rum, and Ron Pampero Aniversario which are both quite delicious.

Matusalem, Flor de Caña, Zaya, Zacapa (in crescendo order). Love me rum.

I am a Zaya kind of guy, but also love Ron Zacapa, and the occasional tumbler of Pyrat. Ron Matusalem is nice as well, and Mount Gay Extra Old has a nice burn on the finish. If you like spiced rums, I recommend Sailor Jerry and The Kraken 94 Proof.

My favorite's have a little spiciness to them. Zaya and Diplomaticos

 

[terrantheman]

HC 7, Ron Zacapa, Zaya, El Dorado and I'm sure there are some I have not tried that are also wonderful!

Zacapa XO, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva & Legendario Elixir de Cuba.

From everything I have tried so far, HC7 does it for me. Zacapa is too sweet for my liking and I do enjoy Flor de Cana, but I prefer HC7 for drinking straight. Unfortunately the Washington State liquor stores do not have a good selection...

For Zaya drinkers, how does that compare to the others? I like more of a "bite" like scotch can give you so that's why I don't like the sweet rums... is Zaya sweet or does it have any bite to it?

Sweet man. VERY sweet.

Zacapa, Zaya, Ron Varadero and Flor De Cana are high on my list.

 

[Greg]

I've never tried Zaya, can't find it here, and can't order it either....


That said, Zacapa is right up there for me, as is Pyrat, but I prefer HC, especially the barrel proof stuff.

 

[s0leful0ne]

Guatemalan Zaya (discontinued for 7(?) years now) is probably the best rum i've had. Even better than Zacapa. The Zaya on sale now is from Trinidad, which is probably the sweet rum that you remember. The two zaya's are world's apart.

I've had some HC, tasted a bit unrefined to me. Ron Centenarrio XX used to be one of my favorites but now seems bland.

There is a bottle of Pyrat sitting here that I have yet to try, but i've heard very good things.

Zacapa, Zaya, Ron Varadero and Flor De Cana are high on my list.

Excellent one, as well.

 

[Bass man]

I'd add Zaya to my list if it was still the Guatemalan formula. I like sweet rums, but the Zaya from Trinidad just doesn't cut it.

And for Aloha Style, the Zacapo XO is a fantastic rum. NOT sweet like the Zacapa 23, but with a smooth full bodied flavor.

 

[dpricenator]

Appleton Estates...has some bite to it.

 

[Alwayslit]

Ron Z without a doubt. Currently having my mixer rum of Cappy Morgan 100 proof and mexican coke. Also Appleton VS is a good change up.
