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.

That's the beauty of it...not really considering how good it is. You can find it online for around $50-60.

IF that's above your range, the Don Q Gold runs around $20.

I wasnt a fan of the Don Q I bought that same bottle for $56 I'd say it is easily priced $20-$25 too high.

Have any of you had the BRINLEY GOLD VANILLA RUM? The local grocery store had them for $10 a bottle. So, I picked up a couple.

I am a big fan of Ron Zacapa but last night I got turned on to some El Dorado 12 year old rum. Man, what a great flavor that has! Smooth, sweet and very thick molasses flavor.

Yep. About 15-20 bucks cheaper than Ron Zacapa. They also have a 15 and 21 year old rum. The guy said he tried both but he swore by the 12 year old.

Just picked up some Bacardi Oakheart.

I was concerned, because it was Bacardi, that it would be a mixed drink type rum.

It is good for sipping!

I think it tastes great. I had two glasses last night!

I hear Oakheart is really good, I passed on it the one time it was offered to me. Sailor Jerry is currently my favorite spiced, which isn't really a nice rum at all, but it tastes good with Coke Zero.

I'm partial to Zacapa atm, going to buy a bottle this Wed.

I just bought a bottle of Flor de Cana 4 yo this weekend. Nothing impressive.
