Wanting to try Rum?

[Miami]

I am looking to buy some rum for sipping on the rocks. I like to have options with my cigars. I am not looking to spend more than 30 dollars or so.

Thanks in advance.

I've said it here a thousand times: Get Ron Zacapa 23yo. It comes in right around the $30 mark. Buy it, drink it, and you will be SO glad you did! Easily one of the best rums for sipping.

Seeing that you are in florida I would get a bottle of Diplomatico. Just ask any of the south florida crew.

10 Cane. Made from sugar cane and not molasses; and pot stilled instead of continuous column distallation. I didn't like any rum until I tried this.

Shopper's Vineyard online has it for $25. Expect to pay around $35 in a retail store though.

These threads cost money. That is all there is to it...

I'll second that. Not too sweet, an over-the-top quality rum. If you get it and find that you want something slightly sweeter, Pyrat works nicely over two small icecubes. If you want to go up to about ~$40-$50, try Zaya--my hands-down favorite rum so far.

Do this danny. Go to a place called Total Wines on PGA Blvd ( right across the street from the Gardens Mall). They have the three best rums.

Diplomatico= $28
Zacapa 23 Anos =$32
And my personal favorite Ron Centanario=$33

These Rums go very nice with your Padrons.

Rum from the island of Martinique is my favorite. Its made from fresh squeezed can juice in lieu of molasses.

Kind of hard to find but worth it.

My favorite is Neisson Rhum Agricole Reserve Speciale. Also excellent: Rhum J.M., La Favorite, Clemente, and St. James.

Other great rums: Rhum Barbancourt, Ron Zacapa Centenario 23, Santa Teresa 1796 Solera, Pampero Aniversario, and El Dorado.

I'm probably a rum philistine--my tastes in general run towards other liquors (scotch!) and beer.

But my go-to rum is Pusser's Royal Navy, with the blue label. (I seem to recall that there's a red label version also, but I'm not sure of the difference.) It's relatively inexpensive, and probably a bit rough, but it has a wonderful sweet molasses-ey flavour. Makes one hell of a good rum cake, too!

Take this advice well from the Rum Runners of the South Florida Crew.
In addition to our three favorites that Mike (Made in Dade) has listed, add Zaya ($30).
Can't beat any of those four. All with their own characteristics that make each different but just as good.

Oh, by the way, please don't ruin it with ice.

We always met at LJ's off Southern and 441 but that has since closed down.
They went to a new place this weekend but I did not get up there as I am in Boca and only go once or twice a month.
Give a shout out to Harryculo, Made in Dade, Ron1yy and ATLHARP. They are the regulars in that area.
