Let's talk RUM

[53' Stude]

So after talking to DBMaster I got some Kraken and some Goslings "black Seal Rum". Which do you folks like

Zafra 21 year old. Great sipping rum, not that expensive

 

[RooflessVW]

Kraken is alright. My sister keeps it around and it does the job.

 

[53' Stude]

Yeah, Kraken so far I like but not as much as Goslings Black Seal

 

[slug_bug]

Goslings Black Seal is my favorite dark rum.

Captain Morgan

I know I'm going to get some hate for that but it's fairly cheap, you can get it anywhere, I personally find it mixes well with coke or cherry coke, which is usually how I consume it.

 

[53' Stude]

Good point sir

. That's always a good choice and I love cherry Coca Cola

Gosling's or Appleton.

 

[Rolla07]

Flor de Cana 7 yrs. Mixes great with Coke Zero and ice. Can mix them fairly strong yet taste is still smooth.

I agree, nothing wrong with it, plus they've added some higher end stuff to their lineup which isn't bad. A friend of mine likes Sailor Jerry's...I've tried it, it's not half bad either.

No hate from me. I like it and drink it the same way you do.

 

[DBMaster]

Try Captain Morgan's Black Spiced rum (47% ABV). Nothing at all wrong with any of the products, though. I recommend things based upon what you tell me you like and why you like it. I have nearly lost my taste for conventional rum in favor of rhum agricole. It's very different stuff, but rewarding to those who develop a taste for it. There really are a lot of good rums out there. My preferences usually go toward the least aged products. That's just my thing.

I recommended Kraken as an alternative to Captain Morgan spiced rum. I used to love CM before they lowered the ABV to 35%. The black version is more flavorful and mixes well with Coke. Rums from the different Caribbean islands each have certain unique characteristics based upon the type of distillation used and the microclimate in which maturation occurs. Rhum agricole actually has terroir, too. There are excellent rums from Guyana and Mexico as well.

Ah, if I only had unlimited funds and an indestructible liver...
