nice rums? - Page 2

04-27-2009, 02:30 PM

I have a rum question for you rum aficinados. I am about to have a friend (over seas) sending me a bottle of zacapa 23 (not avileble her), the cost (shipping included) would be the same as a bottle of el dorado 15 would cost me at the shop her at home.. It seems that both the zacapa and the el dorado are nice rums when reading your posts. Should I go for the zacapa (with the extra hassle with overseas shipping) or would the el dorado be a as good choice as the zacapa?
The plan is that he would send me a bottle of Elmer T. Lee bourbon at the same time. For thoose of you that also like bourbon, is this a good choice, given the price?
Thanks (in)mates

Haven't had the Zacapa, but I've had a couple bottles of El Dorado 12, and do like that a bit. There is not a lot of difference between the 12 and the 15, at least not that I had tasted, so either would be a good investment, IMO.

Man Marc C knows his rum. I'm gonna cast another vote for the El Dorado 15yr. Outstanding rum and a great value.

Never been a huge fan of rum but do enjoy the:

RON CENTENARIO XX ANJOS

Probably need to try a few more high-end rums

I picked up a bottle of Diplomatico 12 Reserva, and wow...very very good. I actually think I enjoy it over Zacapa 23. Better value, too.

While in DC this past weekend, I popped into Shellie's for an impromtu visit and had a Zacapa XO. Awesome! I haven't been able to find it nearby though.

cobra03 · 05-10-2011, 11:31 PM

Yeah I agree that Zacapa XO is fantastic. I tryed it at tasting about a year ago. I cant find Zacapa period around here and its driving me nuts . I love the stuff. Im working on a bottle of Pyrat right now which is pretty good.

One of these days I am going to break down and search to find one of these rums. I haven't had much luck yet.

10-15-2008, 07:21 PM

Havent tried any of these yet. I will find the ron zacapa. I have had a few bottles of Ron Del Barillito gold star that was good.

I particularly enjoy Pyrat XO and Appleton Estate rums.

Shadow · 11-02-2008, 11:14 AM

Really line the Ron Zacapa 23 and the Zaya.

Got hooked on Brugal Extra Viejo while in the Dominican Republic last March. And I can get it at my local store! Now I'm hunting for Brugal Unico, a 30 year rum.
