nice rums? - Page 16

replicant_argent · 11-11-2011, 06:33 AM

My neighbor is doing Mule duty and bringing me a little something from St. Maarten. Last year it was a bottle of Zacapa, this year it will be something I can't get here. Another good friend will be muling some back from Florida next week. Some of the rums you lucky Floridians take for granted are like hens teeth here. I made a little list, and gave him instructions to give me a call.

Total Wine finally got Ron Centenario back in stock. Pick up a bottle.

Frodo · 11-16-2011, 09:25 AM

X2 Ron Zacapa XO.

Had some Zaya at the Cuban Crafters herf on the 6th, and it was tasty. Smooth.

I don't think I have run into a demerara el Dorado I didn't like, Ron. I will keep my eyes peeled for these here, as you can find some of the other El D's in stock locally. Are they new?
(I suppose I could just read the link.

Damn!

I would have less trouble stocking a liquor cabinet like that than I would keeping it stocked.
The less available the better, for me.

Rum Herf at Ron's house!!!!

JohnnyFlake · 11-17-2011, 03:57 PM

What the Hell Man!

You need to pick up a few more bottles of Rum or whatever, I believe I spotted at least four or five spaces that will hold a bottle!

Bill86 · 11-17-2011, 08:33 PM

Damn that is a fine collection of rum. You must have some will power not to go through it all.

deadrise · 11-18-2011, 10:24 PM

well I have tried my taste at rum and got a bottle of Barbancourt Rhum 8 year Reserve Speciale.
and have been drinking it on ice not bad had to warm up to it a little but I do like it.
was not expensive but I did not want to put a lot into it if it was not my thing.
since it was my first sipping rum. there is a few other rums in the 30.00 range I will try next

maybe that plantation rum with the straw on it? any suggestions ? thanks a lot

smokin5 · 11-18-2011, 10:32 PM

Seek out the Barbancourt 15 year old, aged in oak casks.
FAR superior to the 8 year old.
And don't you dare sully it with an ice cube -
this stuff is meant to be sipped neat.

I agree on the Barbancourt 15. Also try the El Dorado 15 year. Most of the Pyrat rums. Ron Zacapa 23 or XO. Also Ron Matusalem 15 or 18 year.

Drink it like you like it - no good if you don't enjoy it!

I was fortunate to try 4 new to me rums today. Ron Centenario Fundacion (I am in love), Diplomatico RE, (yeah, me likey, especially the "Drambuie-ish" finish). Centenario Conmemorativo, (Still very good, but not as good as the other 3), and Ron
Pampero Aniversario. (Great spice and interestingly dry finish.)

Nice taste tests! New additions to your stock?

No sir. A good friend of mine went to Mouseworld with his wife, twins, and inlaws and that is what he brought back. I pushed him down the rum slope by introducing him to Zaya last year.

Well. Slight correction, he gave me the remainder of the bottle of Centenario Fundacion as a Christmas present.

Good deal. I have three of the four - don't have the Ron Centenario Conmemorativo but it's on my list to order some time as they don't sell it locally.

It's always good to lead people to the edge and watch them fall down it. I have a lifelong bourbon/whiskey drinking friend whose liquor cabinet is now 80% rum.

The funny thing about the conmemorativo is that I think if I had it by itself, with no comparison of the prior 3, I might have a different impression of it. While it paled in contrast to the other three, it may have better qualities than my first tasting. While I think it is in roughly the same price range as the El D 12, I would be hard pressed to choose the RCC over that one.

I would like to take this moment to tell you that I hold your taste in very high esteem.

(and that if I had 80% of your fine collection, I would feel like quite an accomplished rummy.)

I need to find a trusted individual who can ship me the RCF or Diplo RE when it is on sale.
