Favorite Rums

I've seen beer threads and whiskey threads, is there anyone here who enjoys a good rum? It can be straight, in coke, Cuba Libre... post your favorites.

These are some that I currently have or recently tried.

If you can find #6... get it... fantastic rum... worth every penny... and it's not that expensive.

3. Havana Club Añejo Especial, Cuban

4. Pamper Aniversario, Venezuelan
5. Zacapa 23, Guatemalan


6. La Hechicera, Colombian

 

Im not a big drinker or alcohol connoisseur, but I do enjoy a bottle of Appleton's rum.

 

OVERPROOF by Wray & Nephew

 

Isn't rum made from mole asses?

Just kidding. Subbed for research reasons.

 

I've seen Appleton, they have a pretty wide range. I've been meaning to try them, I just have 5 other bottles to go through first (#s 2-6 on my list above)

 

Is it the taste or alcohol content that makes this one good? Isn't a lot of the Overproof stuff is mixed with Everclear or 151? If so, that sounds brutal.

 

It has a distinct flavor but it really goes good in frozen mango and rum drinks. My wife is a bartender so she knows what she is doing in mixing what with what.

 

Here you go notice level almost gone!!

 

I guess I'll have to give it a try when I get back to the US.

If you find a bottle of Pedro Mandingas Rum, I'd suggest picking it up. It's Panamanian, white, really good. Also... if you're in Bogotá or Panama City (Panama) try his rum bar... great coctails.

 

This is pretty good if you like sipping on your drink

 

These are good but, I'd prefer them in a cocktail

 

Going to Barbados this year going to try some more kinds of rum there.

 

I'm trying all the rum I can find in Colombia that aren't available in the US.

 

I usually go basic with rum & coke or Cuba Libre

 

These folks are LOCAL and their "creations" make my wife SMILE Strawberry and Blueberry to name a few..

I guess I have to visit florida now...

 

Their FREE tours include "tastings" and as I stated their "Rum Shines" are

 

Florida is one of the states I've never been to...

 

Depending on your "Taste", there are many venues catering to just that..LOCAL means just that if you take the time to look..

 

Pedro Mandingas has their own rum, made in Panama but they have a bar here in Bogota
