Rum

I had a couple of bottles of Zacapa from Guatemala. It's 23 year old and lovely. I've run out as it was duty free but decided to try Old Hopkins when I saw it in Aldi-it's really not bad for £15ish.
 
In the last few months, I've tried (by the bottle)
Kraken
Sailor Jerries
Havana club especial
Mount Gay
Captain Morgans
Aldi's Seadog

Havana Club is definitely the best from that list
Havana Club 7 Anos is the best of the lot in my humble view. I am also a fan of Mount Gay after once doing a tour of the distillery in Bridgetown, Barbados. That was a day which got very messy.

I'll give it a bash if I find it on offer
I think it's generally £25 ish and the others are 16/17 when on offer

We had a similar day in the Dominican Republic after visiting a rum factory
As a group we'd bought a substantial amount and the rep was given six bottles which were consumed on the minibus back to the resort

The Havana Club 7 Anos is not cheap. The problem is that once you have tasted it you won't want anything else. I got some in Asda for about £22 but it can cost up to £27 in other places. But it is superb. A very smooth taste and not too sweet like the especial is.
