Knilas Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Great, only knock is I wish it was a tad heavier on the booziness!Most rums aren't very boozy. Unless you go with Bacardi 151. Guess you could always try scotch or bourbon if you need the higher abv. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT009 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Yeah, maybe Ive just been so used to the peatyness of Laphroaigs and Ardbegs that Ive expected the rum to hit a little harder.. But, Ill sip this mellow gem and chill! And those 151 days are long gone with my wild Army days, thank goodness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto616 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 As someone who enjoys bourbon, scotch, & Japanese whiskies, I find the majority of available rums at 80 proof lack the oomph that I prefer. Which rums 86 proof or higher that are "not too sweet" would anyone recommend?TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Threat Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Zafra 21 is what I prefer to drink. But I did just get a bottle of El Dorado 15 & Barbancourt 15 to sip on this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoyoFan Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 What do you guys recommend as a good non-Cuban rum to start with? I'm usually a Glenmorangie kinda guy but I actually like the idea of drinking something with less punch with my cigar. I'd prefer something with a touch of sweetness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Kipling Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Kirk & Sweeney 12, 18, or 23 yr Outstanding rum. Not overly sweet like so many that are like a pre-made cocktail drink (the kind the ladies like with little paper umbrellas)Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirVantes Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 And now for something completely different. Clairin (Haitin rhum agricole). Unaged white rum made from sugar cane juice rather than molasses, and as far away from the Latin-style sugar bombs as is possible to get. Suggestive of artisanal mezcal. Magic when paired with a lighter-bodied smoke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 My two preferred Cuban rums, Cubay 10 and Santiago 11 ( pictured here is the 12 y.o. which is sweeter ). In Cuba for everyday pairing with cigars I choose Santiago or Mulata Añejo, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman64 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Great recommendations but can be hard to find in some parts of the USA. I find the Mount Gay easy to find. I like it plain on the rocks with my sticks. Also like the Makers Mark with cigars -- also plain on the rocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirewaterI do like my spirits to be distillate-driven, and the non-industrial production tradition with hand cutting local cane and fermenting with wild yeasts etc appeals to me. I quite enjoy drinking this stuff neat. Is there a cure, doctor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch5150 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'm no way a connoisseur of Rum. In fact when I went to Cuba for the first time last year (been twice since), this is the first Rum I ever drank straight up and brought some home. Amazing... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
