rum...ron

[cptaidan88]

Ron Diplomatico which is from Venezuela is the best I've had so far. It's about £40 a bottle depending where you get it but I could happily drink it neat.

Goslings Bermudan rum is beautiful.

Had some golden rum? In Grenada was fantastic unfortunately I was always to pissed to remember what it's called

Why are all the guys who own the brands called Ron?

I've been drinking rum for years now and nothing beats Brugal from the Dominican, there are 2 varieties of it, make sure you buy the bottle with the net on it, thats the premium selection, very mild and smooth as heck.

I see everyone has their own favourites, the reason I say abuelo is the best is because it smells of sugar cane and it tastes of it, now there are of course some great 15-20 yr old rums available, but they do not taste of cane, and , to me, that is what they should taste of

Mount Gay is a decent Jamaican Rum in my opinion.

Agreed, and for a shitty rum travel to Queensland for Bundeberg

Wood's 100 Old Navy Rum

I love rum. Ron Zacapa from Guatemala is excellent as is Eldorado from Guyana. (Various ages available). Diplomatico from Venezuela is like a fine cognac and deifinitely must not be mixed with anything. I also like Gosling's Black Seal from Bermuda and Pussers Gunpowder Proof which at 54.5% is the original strength as supplied to Royal Navy personnel until 1970 but which is no longer allowed on Royal Navy property as is any booze over 40%. The Blue Label at 40% is what they now have in the messes. Having said that most of the locals in the English speaking Caribbean prefer Mount Gay (pronounced 'Mongay').
