Thread: Rum!(the best liquor ever)

I did a search, and I found nothing. Being that I am puerto rican, Rum happens to be my drink of choice. Its pretty much all I love to drink, but sometimes i will have others.

So, lets here what you like. I happen to be in Puerto Rico last weekend for rum fest, and picked up a few bottles. Note, that not all are pictured yet. I am still unpacking.

this is some of what i got.




and here is a pic of me at rum fest!!!

i love rum too. Captain morgan private stock my current favorite.

Hey weren't you on prison break?

I can not tell you how many times i hear that!!! when i acutally trim my beard, i look exactly like him.

captain morgan is good, but i had a much better one. It was a local spiced rum, and it gets you drunk pretty fast. I finally got to have the reserva limited(only available at the bacardi factory and a few other places in pr) though many will buy it, then resell it for much more.

I also love havan club, as well as bacardi ocho.

will have to try the others. Was on private stock for a while now back to just captains.

Rum and Coke is my fav drink of all time.

Is havana club and barcardi ocho available here? never heard of em

Alex...

bacardi ocho(or 8) is now available here. its been here for about 4-6 years. Havana club is not though. its from cuba, and still has the hecho en cuba decal on it. If you want, come on over and you can have some on me. a true cuba libre with cuban rum.

Funny storry, if you order a cuba libre, they are legally required to give you a lime, and use bacardi rum. at least thats what they told me at the factory.

the others in that pic are also not available here, other then the tommy bahama. but at 6 bucks a bottle, i had to get a few. the ron carito is considered the moonshine of rum, at 86%.

the reserva limited.... You can not get here

love the dark havana club. i work on ships and every once
in a while i get on a ship from cuba and the captain will give me
some havana club and a couple stogies

Try Pyriat from Anguilla. Really great rum.

The pictures are blocked for me at work, so I can't see what ones you got.

One of my all-time favorite rums is from Puerto Rico - Ron de Barrilito 3-star (Rum of the barrel). I picked up a few bottles last time we went. I love that smokey, vanilla flavor it has.

They also had an awesome dirt cheap rum - Palo Viejo/Green Tree - that was like $5 and was awesome.

For regular mixing rum, I always have Appleton Estate rum on hand, it's super smooth and blends in nicely.

Legendario on the rocks, or Sailor Jerry and water are my most common rum consumptions. Sailor Jerry and Coke will suffice but it's a bit sweet so I water mine down a bit. Also, Sailor Jerry and Apple Juice = Malibu Pineapple for men.

Sailor Jerry FTW! I can/could drink lots, and never ever had a hangover. Excellent for getting the job done with a quickness.
