nice rums?

pnoon · 10-12-2008, 10:20 PM

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

The Ron Centennario's quite good.

Although I'd prefer a good Tawny Poet with my 'gars.

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

BengalMan · 10-14-2008, 08:51 PM

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

Got my vote!

I've killed a bottle or two myself over the years...

on the Ron Matusalem

I don't know whether to thank Ron or curse him for introducing me to this one. Zaya is great, and still probably my favorite, but Matusalem is such a great value at the price here, $26.

Did a quick review of my three sipping rums: Zaya, RZ23 and Pampero

And...

I liked the Ron Zacapa the best, sweet, but not artificially so, and very smooth.

2nd was the Pampero, less sweet than the RZ, and with an oaky hint, also quite smooth

3rd was the Zaya. I was most excited about this one, I love vanilla, and everyone says this has it in spades. Well it does, but it was the least smooth, and had the most alcohol bite. It was still good, but I think it will reside in the freezer.

Hey, I'm not an enabler - just making you aware of various products out there -

Love that Matusalem!

Even better if it's aged 15 years...

My current "go-to" rum

And when I'm in the mood for something sweet:

I know that some purists will sneer, but I really enjoy the stuff.

I really want to try a bottle of the Brugal 1888. New expression that is aged in sherry casks !?! Loved the Brugal Extra Viejo...

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.
