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.

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!

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.

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

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....

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

A host of great Rums have already been mentioned! I'd like to add a link to some truly great Plantation Rums as well: http://www.plantationrum.com/en/produits.php

The 1998 series (Jamaica, Nicaragua & Grenada) and all worthy Rums, especially the Jamaica, at least IMHO.

If your serious about Rum, you should give all of these a try. You will be amazed at how good they really are!!!

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.
