These definetly dont suck

Never had the HC 15.
The others are my top 3.

St James XO

... though I don't drink a lot of rum...

The Ron Centennario's quite good.

Although I'd prefer a good Tawny Poet with my 'gars. :ss:2c

Re: nice rums?
 

I've found Ron Matusalem to be the best I've ever come in contact with.

Re: nice rums?
 

Yet to have the HC 15 either. Flor De Cana 12 and 18 is good as well.

Re: nice rums?
 

:tpd:

I love me some Zacapa, but cannot find it locally. :fl

Re: nice rums?
 

Check.... local store has all of 'em cept for the HC! I'm in heaven!!!:dr

Re: nice rums?
 

I have been drinking both the Zaya and the RC XX lately and loving both

Re: nice rums?
 

Will trade cigars for Ron Zacapa. :dr

Re: nice rums?
 

Diplomatico is pretty good stuff.

Re: nice rums?
 

Mmmmm. Only one I haven't had on this page is the HC15 -- HC7 is a nice treat, though. :tu

Re: nice rums?
 

My son has me looking for Westerhall?? Rum, made in Granada. Says it's good, but I haven't run it down yet. Of course, Bama isn't exactly the Mecca for fine spirits!

I haven't tried those Kelly shows, but I enjoy Appleton Estate's 21 year aged. Waiting on my one bright spot of suppliers to get in the new 30 year Appleton.

I'll eventually find some rums other than the standard grades that really need mixers to be accepted!

Re: nice rums?
 

Re: nice rums?
 

I see Ron Zacapa 25 from time to time. Worth the difference in price over the 23?

Re: nice rums?
 

Darrell tends to think so :ss

Re: nice rums?
 

:r

Darrell has had the 23 and that's it. Darrell also has scoured SJ looking for a bottle, with no luck. :(

Re: nice rums?
 

Sean - can you find this down there around Radford? Can't up here in NOVA but my daughter is down there in Radford so she could grab me some if it's available.


Ron

Re: nice rums?
 

I really appreciate the link. However, I suffer from a state that is backwards in many ways, One being that they still have dry counties, and thus do not allow shipment of Alcohol into the state. as expected, the site shows they will not ship to Bama! Got a sister in Tennessee (unless they lose home to the economy), so I might be able to have it shipped there. Don't know if I can trust her to keep bottle sealed til I can get it, though:r

Re: nice rums?
 

HC7 and Flor De Cana 7,12,etc years

Re: nice rums?
 

I'm with Sean, excepting the Havana Club the Santa Theresa is the best rum IMHO.

Re: nice rums?
 

:cYou don't DRINK Rum but I do....and yes you have my attention :tu

Rob

Re: nice rums?
 

One of these days I am going to break down and search to find one of these rums. I haven't had much luck yet.

Re: nice rums?
 

Havent tried any of these yet. I will find the ron zacapa. I have had a few bottles of Ron Del Barillito gold star that was good.

RZ XO, 25 year old :dr

Re: nice rums?
 

Ron Zacapa 23 Anos and Diplimatio Exclusiva Reserva...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-...oexclusiva.jpg

Re: nice rums?
 

Wife is Venezuelan .... I bought this one in Venezuela for some ungodly amount of money at the time ... 15-20 bucks I think ... when you realize drinkable anejo runs 3-4 bucks a fifth, the Diplimatico I see people liking here around 7-8, and gasoline is 12 cents a gallon .... thats a lot of money.

Short answer, no, we can't get that one here in Radford.

If there is a trip to Venezuela at Christmas, I'll smuggle you back one - I think we were 4-5 bottles over the limit last time, whats another bottle?

:-O

Re: nice rums?
 

I've got a bottle of the Santa Teresa, either got it here in MD or Florida, can't remember.

Nobody mentioned Pampero yet? That's another nice Venezuelan rum, should be pretty readily available too. I think it's similar to Zacapa, but not quite as sweet. I like it better.

Ron del Barrilito 3 Star is one of my all-time favorite rums. I like the dry, lighter style of Puerto Rican rums, this is the best I've had so far.

Rhum Agricole - Neisson, St James, La Favorite, Rhum Clement... all are great, and very different from every other rum you'll ever try. You owe it to yourself to pick one up if you come across it.

El Dorado 15 yr - Great cigar rum, smokey, heavy, full-bodied, stands up well to a heavy smoke.

Gosling's Black Seal - Cheap, available everywhere, delicious. Don't ever buy Meyer's Dark when Gosling's is sitting nearby.

Angostura 1919 & 1824 - I'm really liking these both a lot lately. The 1824 is a little more complex, the 1919 screams 'vanilla', but both are the drier style that I tend to prefer.

Pyrat XO - Not bad, but I have a hard time getting paste the citrusy/orange flavor. Almost seems too 'orangey' to be real. Great on ice though.

10 Cane - Only buy it on sale, but it makes a helluva mojito.

Of the sweet rums, I think I like Diplomatico a touch more than Zacapa, though they're awful close. Can't ever find Zaya (any Zaya), or Centenario in MD.

I'd love to get my hands on some HC, that's one that ain't exactly common around here. Maybe next trip overseas.


Now that there's a rum thread, someone needs to invite Che over here :)

Re: nice rums?
 

That's my man...

Re: nice rums?
 

I have been looking for Ron Zacapa for months now and cannot find it. I finally found a bottle of Zaya. I like that a lot.

Re: nice rums?
 

Seeing all these pictures is making me :dr. I need to stop spending all my money on cigars and start buying more Rum.

Re: nice rums?
 

My favorite at the moment is Zaya. I just wish I could compare the Guatemalan with the Trinidadian stuff. I've had both, and liked both, but really don't knwo what the difference was, as it was months between the time that I had them. Even my wife (not a rum drinker) will drink Zaya neat. :D

I've also had and liked Ron Matusalem Clasico.

HC 7 is another good one. Though I have had it side by side with Guatemalan Zaya, and preferred the Zaya. Just suited my palate better.

I know that I'll need to try some of the others that have been listed here, too

Re: nice rums?
 

I'm with you brother. I have all the ones in my rotation that Kelly posted but the Santa Teresa is my fave. Good taste my man.:ss

Re: nice rums?
 

ron zacapa all the way. there is a local shop that pretty much has everything. i still need to try the HC15. it's so easy to just go to the store and pick up a bottle of zacapa though that i never really run out.

darrell, if you keep not having any luck i'm sure we could figure out something.

Re: nice rums?
 

I poured some of the Santa Teresa last night, with a Famous Nic 3000, was a good night! Forgot how good that rum was, thanks for reminding me!

Re: nice rums?
 

Recently tried the new Zaya, I never had the older version, but I was surprised how sweet it was, lots of vanilla... I liked it, but I have a serious sweet tooth, ask my dentist.

Another rum I enjoy is Saliors Jerry, a little SJ with coke and a wedge of lime on a sunny day at the pool.... nice.

Re: nice rums?
 

:tpd: That's good stuff, I prefer SJ over Captain Morgan.

Re: nice rums?
 

I assisted in the death of a bottle of Havana Club the other night, my usual is Appleton's. The Zaya sounds promising,Gotta get my hands on a bottle....

Re: nice rums?
 

Found a local shop the other day that had ~12 bottles of Zaya in @ $39.99. As I already have some, I found another one to try...Rhum Barbancourt 15 yr. from Haiti. It was quite nice and went down easy, but I think I'd still choose Zaya as my favorite

Re: nice rums?
 

I just got a bottle of the new Zaya (Trinidad) and I am not a fan. It has a lot of vanella flavor to it, and non of the smokey flavor I liked so much in the original.:mad:

Re: nice rums?
 

Up here in North Kakalaki we can only get Zaya. Man do I miss Centanario! :(

Re: nice rums?
 

Can you believe none of it is for me? LOL :r

Is 32.99 a decent price?

Re: nice rums?
 

That's about right -- average, I'd say. You can probably get it cheaper in FL; but you can also pay a lot more elsewhere. Love that stuff. :dr Haven't had it in faaaaarrrrrr too long. :dr

Re: nice rums?
 

Will have to try the last one:hm got the top 3 though :al

Re: nice rums?
 

I particularly enjoy Pyrat XO and Appleton Estate rums.
