ironhide Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 If you like the Caribbean spirits try some Chairmans Reserve, bought some back from St Lucia and you can get it online. Its super smooth but in the same breathe will make you very merry after one glass it'll reserve you to the chair...I highly recommend it!

Wasso Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Maybe Wasso and Neil should take a bottle to Lakez I am normally a Jim Beam man, but my fiancee and I were on holiday in Barbados when we tried Mount Gay rum, which comes from the Island and WOW... I am hooked Yes its not exactly the best name in the world but its not too expensive and certainly goes down a treat http://www.mountgayrum.com/ Tut tut talking in secret about me again. I've not stumbled across the rum section as I'm not old enough for it. Still into my beer, but just had a fair few glasses of my prize winning Whiskey from the Wales raffle and it's frosties Gggggggreeeeeeatttt!!!! I'll be taking some booze to Lakez and a shame the regulars will be tucked up in bed. So we shall just have to drink to sleeping friends Darren would love Lakez with all this drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds2000 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm really getting into rum, trouble is rum really gets into me Worst case was new years eve about 3 years back when my friends found me naked behind the sofa at 7:00am after thinking I'd been running around Cardiff naked in -12 conditions for a few hours..... I'm not normally a menace with drinks but my friends now feed me rum as they say it makes me insanely happy Sambuca and that sticky stuff... .bleh!

Karlp Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Sailor Jerries - a spiced dark rum - love it I'll second that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I started drinking dark rum a while ago. Out with the boys it's nips of dark rum and diet coke. If I was actually savouring it it'd be a good rum with ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacW Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Brugal if you can get hold of it, expensive and rare in this country but easily bought in Spain. Mix it with Fanta Lemon in a 1:2 ratio with plenty of ice.. fantastic : Also Kraken rum with coke is another good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350Chris Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 There is a Whisky Exchange just round the corner from my office and I have taken to a bottle per month - similar to a crack addiction - tending to vary between rums and bourbons so I have a few recommendations here - by no means an authority on the subject, but I know what I like! As a recent sample list - the stand outs are; Rums Foursquare Spiced Rum - Extremely tasty, be prepared not to put the cap back on the bottle though Chairmans Reserve - there is also a spiced version which is a bit heavy for everyday, but good for Christmas time Brugal - very drinkable - try this and be prepared to hang up your Havana club Admiral Rodney - Good, worth a try, but move on after Eldorado (12 year old) - possibly the nicest sipping rum I have ever experienced. Very sweet in flavour and just needs a lump or two of ice (as opposed to the 15 yo which I found a bit too sharp). Until I find then next one that is better than this - all rum will be considered fit for cooking with olny Bourbons Elijah Craig 12yo (sp) Very smooth, very easy to make a dent in Blantons Reserve - In the drawer to be opened this evening Evan Williams - absolutely awesome!!! just add ice This month the plan is to try some El Presidente Rum as the spirits cupboard is overflowing with Bourbon - on which note I should head home, put my feet up and make a dent in a 12 year old (Bourbon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
