Rum

[VoteKinky06]

Ok, I've been a big fan of rum since long before I was old enough to drink it and am now looking for a good rum to sip on while enjoying my cigar. What kind of rum do you like and how do you drink it? I'll go first, I went from Ron Rico ( please don't laugh ) to Captain Morgan, to Zacapa, which is my current favorite and this is how I drink it:

The only rum I've ever actually enjoyed was Pyrat. Very molasses-like in flavor and body, I thought. I haven't tried zacapa though, and it does look like it could be very tasty. I'm sure there are others.

Genius, I've tried searching for " rum" but it always says the word is too short. Never thought about adding the "s" at the end.

I just got some pyrat based on what I read in the above threads

Here are a few of my favorites. I like it with a bit of crushed ice unless it's a rum 'n coke (mexican in the bottle).




Mark C, thanks for the thread linkage.

Actually, you're the genius. I searched for 'pampero', because I usually don't miss a rum thread here, and I usually end up recommending Pampero. Great rum, try that one next

I'm partial to Pyrat and Appleton Estate Rums.

I recently was introduced to Matusalem. IMHO it's a fantastic choice to sip with a cigar.

I'm a fan. I think it is a lighter style more similar to the Puerto Rican rums I like, dry, smooth, and a bit subtle, not so much 'in your face' as the south/central american rums.

A friend of mine just gave me a bottle of Zaya and its a great sipping rum...

I've been enjoying it straight over ice.

Thanks Chris if your reading this thread!

A run that I have been enjoying is the Goslings Black Seal Rum. Very unusual but tasty.

Also try Lemon Hart Demerera if you can find it, it's another black rum, heavy on the molasses flavors.
