I have been curious about Rum for a while now, came across this thread last night.

Made my list and heading out this morning to see what I can find. Can't wait to try some of these and try my hand at rum.

You may want to try comparing and contrasting the agricole vs. molasses rums and see what you like of each.
Good luck in the journey. The absolutely great thing about rums, other than the individual appeal to your palate, is that compared to scotches and whisk(e)ys, you can get some huge bang for your buck, and experience some of the finest spirits of the type for a fraction of the costs. I am no expert, but I know what makes my mouth happy.. .(that sounded...er... dirty...) Oh, and my wallet.

Shawn,

All 3 are very decent rums. My fav of the three is Pyrat! In fact, I just opened a bottle yesterday.

Ok guys, I being a Rum noob need your help. I never was a liquor drinker because I thought it tasted like ass.

Sooo the Rum I bought is good, I like the sweet Rums. Can you all list for me the good sweet Rums? Not the oak tastes I hear everyone speak of.

Hope this requests makes sense.

Do we all have the tendency to collect/use everything we enjoy? I am already picking up a cabinet to add to the room where the humidor is with lighting for my Rums
