Pretty much a Bourbon guy, but want to get some recommendations for RUM for our upcoming trip to Michigan. For the last 23 years, this has been primarily a Corona trip. You have probably gotten sick of seeing Corona, knife and SIGforum coin pics on the beach. I am thinking Rums this year. Not looking for anything allocated, but those that will be readily available. Love coconut and pineapple flavor, but not sure what is available. I appreciate any recommendations. Niech Zyje P-220 Steve | ||

We have only one bottle of rum in the house, we just don't drink it much. It is a Zaya Gran Reserva, a dark rum and quite good.

Papa’s Pilar is some really good tasting rum named after Ernest Hemingway’s boat. Hemingway’s connection to N. Michigan make it a perfect choice for your trip. _________________________ "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last” - Winston Churchil | |||

I really like Papa's Pilar. Get whatever you're getting before you go to Michigan. I was looking while in a Costco in Wyoming, Michigan last week and the same bottle of Kirkland Anejo no was $46 there vs. $31 in Indiana. I'm told by my Michigan connections that they heavily tax liquor. Ironically the wine I bought was normal price. Go figure. | |||

This is perfect, as I am a Hemmingway fan. Is this readily available? Niech Zyje P-220 Steve | |||

Another vote for Pilar and yes it is readily available. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Pampero Aniversario - Great rum! Doesn't need a mixer. Pour it over ice and let the ice melt a bit. Goes down like a good scotch. | |||

Well, not yet… "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Rum. Amazing stuff, when properly distilled, and absolutely disgusting when not. If it has a “flavor”, it’s not very good rum. The following are Rums (made from molasses), and not French style Rhums (made from sugarcane juice): Top quality - these don’t need to be mixed - Zacapa 23 - Santa Teresa 1796 - Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva - Pampero Aniversario - Appleton 12 - Zaya 12 - Mount Gay XO Good rums - suitable for mixing or drinking neat - Flor de Caña 12 - Appleton 8 - Mount Gay Black Barrel - Plantation XO By the way, if you are ever at a bar and want a rum, stay away from Bacardi (swill), but generally bars at least have a bottle of Mount Gay Eclipse. It’s a great affordable rum. | |||

Appleton Rare Casks is pretty good. Fair bit of that Jamaican rum funk without being overpowering. I like Eldorado and Pussers, but it’s pretty clear they add sugar. Same with Diplomatico and Zacapa. | |||

I’ve been on a rum journey. Kind of depends on what you’re looking for. For a sipper: Plantation XO or Appleton 12. Barbancourt 15 if you can find it. It’s not available in Ohio, only the 8. _________________________ "Age does not bring wisdom. Often it merely changes simple stupidity into arrogant conceit. It's only advantage, so far as I have been able to see, is that it spans change. A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it." Robert Heinlein | |||

Doorly’s 12yr and RL Seale 10yr are both excellent for the price and friendly for those coming from bourbon. | |||
