nice rums? - Page 14

RGD. · 08-21-2011, 08:51 PM

So popped the cork on one bottle of Santa Teresa 1796 tonight. Had a bit more bite than I expected - but very good flavor and a long long aftertaste.

Been wanting a bottle of Santa Teresa for so long that maybe my expectations for it were a bit high. Compared to the El Dorado 15 I had last night (staple in my collection) - the El Dorado had less bite and a lot sweeter.

Overall though - Santa Teresa is a great rum, really impressed by the long aftertaste that lingers.

Pick up some Pyrat today and I really like the citrus notes. I like it better than the Zaya and the Zacapa is the favorite so far.

Down to my las bottle of Ron Cent. XX Anos.
Never seen the Bundaberg before. What's it like?

Found this yesterday and had to pick it up.

What I have left so far in my collection.

Sorry for the Cabo Wabo in the pic, forgot to pull it out for the pic.

Run Abuelo 12yrs from Panama is a personal favorite. I drank allot of it when I lived there. Unfortunately you can't find it in Canada. Another great sipping Rum is Zecappa 15 or 25yr from Guatemala.

Been a good week! First the Santa Teresa 1796 Antiguo and now these: Ron Zacapa XO and Flor de Caña Centenario Gold 18 Year Old. Excited to try the XO. And you know you really can't go wrong with Flor de Caña!

Ron Abuelo is one of, if not my favorite. We trek down to Panama about once every two years or so, and we always bring back four bottles.

Yeah - give or take a few bottles. Probably give. Here is a list from 2009 that I haven't updated since then. When I get my little mini bar area done in the next month, and my shelves up, then I will inventory again.

I tried the Captains Private Stock this week. Neat and with a cube. A bit of a "cheap, chemical tasting, artificial baking vanilla" finish to it.
I will probably consume the rest with some coke zero or something.

When I drink the Captains, I only drink the Private Stock but I don't sip it - a little Coke Zero helps it.

I'd love to get a bottle of that Diplomatico but most online vendors cannot ship hard liquor to Nevada!

I just got through talking to Dave from this rum review website. I was put in touch through the owner of an obscure liquor store that noticed me checking the back of his rum shelves, something I always do, looking for Guat Zaya. Dave does the same thing. He said he believes similar rums are Botran Solera 1893, Diplimatico "green bottle", and Zacapa, which the last I already knew. I will keep my eyes out for those others now.

Best rum I've ever had, period. Going to order another a bottle soon
