The best I've had is Ron Zacapa Centenario. A bit pricey, though.

That's the one, good value and smoother than the 1919.james80 wrote:Angostura 1824 their Single Barrel Reserve is quite good to and not expensive.Gradie wrote: as are the Angostura 1919 and another that I forget (it's another year)...
I should say that may be a tad biased living in Trinidad.
It's available duty free at most UK airports which makes it fantastic value for the quality (though still not a cheap rum).Jape wrote:The best I've had is Ron Zacapa Centenario. A bit pricey, though.
From the suggestions above it sounds like El Dorado may be my next purchase

Re: any rum drinkers around?
The 1919 is very strongly vanilla flavoured - fine, as long as you like vanilla!

I am also a fan of flor de Cana from Nicaraguastolivar wrote:Flor de Caña from Nicuragua is my favorite. I prefer the 7 year the best
But my top two are Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva from Venezuela and Inner Circle Red from Australia. My intro to the Venezuelan tipple was via a Chinese neighbour here in UK, she had great taste!

Re: any rum drinkers around?
Cadenhead offer a very good line in rum, well worth exploring. Their Cask Strength line can go up to an eye-watering 70-odd per cent, and the Green Label range has some very nice sipping rums indeed.
In addition, their shop (Chiltern Street, Marylebone) has a barrel of a hugely tasty dark rum from which they will happily fill a bottle on demand. Not cheap (£40, if memory is not too hazy) but well worth it, IMHO.

Mount Gay...oldest Rum distillery in the world and " the rum that invented rums". Also the only rums in my house.Loddonite wrote:The only rum I have in the house.Berkshire wrote:Mount Gay Extra Old Rum, Barbados. http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-4520.aspx
Mount Gay Eclipse - for mixed drinks
Mount Gay Extra Old - for sipping on ice
then there is Mount Gay Old Cask
ONLY for sipping and special occasions. Crazy good rum.
I have tasted El Dorado and it would be my second choice if there was a worldwide Mount Gay shortage !
Small collection of timepieces that I enjoy

Any kind of dark spiced rum, look at hedonism in London it's amazing and they mail anything you want, just had a consignment of wines and gin

Re: any rum drinkers around?
Mount Gay stopped producing rum last September due to the collapse of a deal to sell the company. They're still operating, I assume selling what's been aging, but I'm not sure what's going to happen going forward. The news reports were a little sketchy.

Re: any rum drinkers around?
sounds like it's time to buy a couple of bottles of the good stuff while they're still selling.
