Rum is my Spirit of choice but I'm no expert. Used to drink Captain Morgan but now I go for Kraken. Will try the Havana no 7 though next time I'm out.

The thread should be renamed "Diplomatico is the best rum, but what is a distant second best?"

Gorgeous stuff, but it's about £35-40 a bottle so got to be for special occasions. Like days that end in a Y.

Zacapa is quite good but not worth the price (if diplomatico is an available alternative).

If on a budget, Kraken is good.

Top stuff, needed a good cocktail rum for summer, if it is shit i'll...umm i'll... well it would be a sign of dissatisfaction anyway, possibly a mildly worded letter and offer of drinks as i'd feel guilty by the end of the letter xD

You sure that is a guddun for cocktails as i have 200 quid for summer drinks stuff and would rather not fuck any of my budget.

Diplomatico is good.
Pusser's is great. A few years ago one of the local shops had reduced their stock of it to a ridiculously low price, just to get rid of it and clear some space on the shelf. Happy days

Agree with others - Kraken is lovely.

Would also recommend 10 Cane and Pyrat
