Rums over $30

[Che]

Having done the under $30 rum to backslaps and salutations, I was curious what ranges over $30 that comes highly recommended & "must haves"? However, I'm not necessarily looking to hear about the most expensive, rarest, oldest... etc. etc. - Lets keep it practical.

• I thought of a couple I consistently like...
  
• El Dorado 15 & 21 year old expressions
• Depaz (blue cane - agricole)
• Zacapa 23
• Ron Botran 18
• Clement VSOP
• Cockspur 12
• Ron Centenario XX Anjos (can often be found just shy of $30)
• Barbancourt 15 (prefer the 8, but find the 15 a good contrast)

There's also a couple that I know rate fairly high but I have / had a bottle or two that I found / felt below the usual standard - I struck those.

Havana Club is slightly over 30...

It is well over $30, but I find the Centenario 20year Special Edition Rum stellar, and a must-have in my stock.

Will have to look around for some of that Tom. The store I shopped at only had Havana Club in regular and 7 year old.....I took that as a sign to get both?

Appletons estate rum is pretty good. I think it's 15 year, I'd look in my liquor cabinet, but I'm too lazy to get up.

Picked this one up for a bomb:






It was a bit pricy, but I was told its very good, can't wait to ship it

If I'm not mistaken, this is the XX Anjos I mentioned above:

If so, I certainly hope you're not ordering from that Costa Rican super store link you provided! Your source shows it on sale for $87.66 or are those Costa Rican dollars? It's regularly $40 but on sale as we speak for $28.99.

Best I ever had... I actually drank it straight up most of the time. Heavy hints of vanilla and spice on the palate.

mmm found a bottle of Zaya locally Sadly hitime doesn't ship to this forsaken place I call home, at least "spirits" they'll ship wine but thats of minimal interest

Another one thats over 30, haven't tried it, Montecristo 12 yr. States made in guatamala like zaya, but in a typical monte embossed bottle. Any experience?
