Really, that would be mighty awesome of you. If you see it let me know how much it is and we may have to do that.

Appreciate that offer.

I'm with Tom, Ron Centenario XX Anos Fundacion is fantastic. I like Zaya (new), but Centenario is where it's at.

Have any of you tried Cruzan Black Strap, or Cruzan Single barrel?

madwilliamflint · 05-23-2011, 12:20 PM

Zacapa 23 FTW!

Day to day I actually love a Kraken (with a cube) with cigars. Bloody excellent stuff. Quite reasonable too.

anybody like flavored rums? I do appreciate a good flavored rum. Don't get me wrong I love the Pyrat, ron Zacapa, and Zimcaya rums. But I really like the vanilla flavored rums like Brimley gold and there is a rum called Sebastion's that you can get in tortola. Its fantastic. Calypso Island, now made by cruzan, used to be absolutely amazing, but since they were bought out, they changed and are not as good.

I had some Ron Abuelo 12 yr over the weekend. It was very smooth. It had a nice clean finish.

JohnnyFlake · 06-02-2011, 11:28 AM

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the older bottles of Zaya and the newer ones since the factory was moved?

I understand that there is a slight difference in the labeling but I have no idea as to what it is.

The old bottles say Guatemala, the new, Trinidad, if that is what you mean, sir.
There are one or two other small differences, as I recall, but that is the easiest to remember.

That is great info. I was not aware of the difference in countries, but that is a big help and very easy to remember.

And here is a visual of that difference:

BTW, if you know where there is any Guat, don't tell Wayne.

You can PM me, though.

No more Guat searching for me.

I am still looking for my white whale... a bottle of Zacapa with the full palm weave.

I have never seen any, recently that is, but I've heard that it's still around!

JohnnyFlake · 06-02-2011, 04:25 PM

I just opened my first bottle of Ron Zacapa Solera 23 and I'm sipping some right now. WOW! This is really excellent rum!

If you find it, buy it, and Pete and I will take it.

Santa Teresa has been on my to find list for a long while now. Was in a little store over in Maryland Sunday cause they had Cruzan Cream Rum on sale for $10 a bottle - and while looking over the shelf's - right there on the top was my prize. Three bottles. I bought two and my friend Bob got one. He said he didn't know what it was but if I was buying two he better grab the last one.

Santa Teresa, huh? The liquor store by our new place here had a good selection when I was in there a few weeks ago. I'll have to loom for it next time I go in there.

MajorCaptSilly · 08-01-2011, 08:25 PM

Had the pleasure of trying Firefly Spiced Rum when I was in South Carolina. I'm not usually into the spiced stuff but this was excellent. I brought home 2 bottles and am now down to one.
