i used to hate rum, but after i had flor de cana i realized it is not all crap! i have since also tried mount gay. i will look forward to more good rums in the future.

sup with pyrat? i bought some bc it was on 'temporary price reduction'. haven't opened it yet...

was it pyrat xo reserve? thats a good one but the bottle shape isn't good for pouring

eyed a bottle of anejo pampero the other day. might have to go back for it

do!

lxy changed my mind about rum, i didn't think it was very good before

i didn't either, but she showed me the light!

the pyrat was... i'm not sure which. it had a charm with a buddha or something on it hung around the neck. it was too sweet.

was about to make this joke, thought "i bet s1ocki already made it," cmd+f'ed stil--, sighed

that Sailor Jerrys is pretty good. 92 proof

@harbl & tehresa: LOL :) <3
@am0n: i've got a cupboard of expensive, "good" rums that i don't want to drink, so i'll await your verdict before trying the centenario; plz report back.
@carne asada: really? not for me, sailor jerry.

sailor jerry is shit btw.

i thought i looked mad cheesy but i liked it enough. not much of a rum drinker iirc

it looks mad phallic more like

@am0n: nepalese rum! scotte's says it's good, anyway. friend brought some old monk from india ($3 at the duty-free, i think?). not so hot.
@carne asada: try better rum, you will be more of a rum drinker.

bah rum i do not like it

how is that even possible, jjjusten?

its my one liquor no go! i am sorry to disappoint ;_;

but. i thought you would drink anything?

jjj i thought it was my no go too, for the longest time!
maybe you need to try again with the right rum.

i mean, it's still not my go-to or favorite by any means, but i hate it much less than i thought i did and have been able to move past my bad college rum experiences :)

oh ill drink anything, but i dont always enjoy it (i hear there are pictures on the interwebs to this effect).

i broke my college sponsored tequila ban successfully, rum has actually just kind of never been my thing, there is a flavor in there that makes me go yurrrghhh

i will never make you drink rum if you will never make me drink tequila

fix'd

found the ron zacapa centenario. i don't know how to rate it but its not living up to the reviews. gonna buy the pampero and do a comparison. spied some bottles of mt gay extra old, matusalem and cockspur 12. also saw a $180 bottle of pappy van winkle >:O

cockspur 12 is so so good.

eclipse is the only mt. gay i've liked. (drinking it right now)

you will never regret buying pampero.

what about flor de cana

also why don't you want to drink your expensive rums

yes.

all of the fdc ambers i've tasted are very good. haven't had the top of the line.

not much difference between the years, maybe? not when mixing anyway.

xp because they're not good! i would drink them right up if i liked them!

can I get a high end S&D?

i.e. recommend me something that is actually better or as good as Pampero. Not Pyrat.

looool australia wtf

i tried the fijian rum when i was there. BOUNTY. yeech

I've never had rum at all, as far as I know, but am interested to give it a try. Suggestions?
I'm coming as a whisk(e)y drinker, if that makes any difference, and particularly enjoy more heartily flavoured varieties.

If I can get it in a supermarket here in the UK then even better.

Not many votes on this poll, sadly, so I don't lay too much stock in its results.

Thanks rum drinking friends.

so do you want something that you can drink on its own or with a little ice?

(vs. something to mix with?)

lol

it's really complex but not at all sophisticated,

a needlessly complex tiki cocktail? be still my heart.

I just meant it's bold and fun and funky rather than elegant or delicate. Have you ever had a 1934 zombie?

It's a great value as well, I think they charge $21 which is like $5 more than your average cocktail in Manhattan with maybe a third of the booze. You don't need a second drink unless you wanna get really blasted, and even then you only need 2.

Had a drink there with peanut butter in it once!

Anyway, to answer the question I think Appleton Estate 12 is a good one.

Tipsy, what is the name of that big Caribbean rum book you got at xmas?
