Favorite Rum?

evil-G-nius · 08-17-2021, 12:06 AM

I could have sworn there was a rum thread but I searched and found nothing! So in honor of National Rum Day I thought we might start over. What are some of your favorite rums?

I had this one tonight...Diplomatico 2004 Single Vintage

Bumbu. And almost any Plantation offering.

That is a nice Diplomatico...I've got a collection going but these are my go too rums in the sub $100 price point.

1) El Pasador de Oro X.O. Rum

2) Bumbu The Original / Craft Rum

Over $100 price point, this is the jam:

Flor de Caña 25

Flor de Cana any year is so damn smooth! My Fav Rum.

My Fav Cocktail with Rum:

-Lots of ice.
-Poor Flor de Cana all over the ice.
-Add Tonic water.
-Squeeze a shit load of lime on it.
Mix and drink!

I’m a big bourbon/whiskey sipper and want some good rums. Buddy sent me the FDC 25 and while I think it’s good, the 18 is only $60… huge price delta between the two which strikes me as odd. Thoughts on the experience difference between the two?

You wont be able to tell the difference. The 12 year one is probably best bang for buck. I have not tried the 25 but ive tried the 12 and the 18 and couldnt tell the difference drinking it straight let alone on ice or with lime. Its such a smooth rum that you will enjoy at any price point.

That said, i do believe the 25 is really designed for drinking it neat so maybe its a big step above 12/18.

This El Pasador is not one I am familiar with but I love the bottle and Guatemalan rums are really damn good! I'm gonna have to give that one a try for sure

Never saw this one either. But considering its location and rum producing neighbors I'm sure they have a pedigree that produces some good shit
