Sadly, we only drink about a quarter of a bottle a week. Which results in a growing collection. People end up bringing over bottles as gifts as well, and space starts to become limited.

Decided to blind taste test a couple of the better rums I have tonight.  In order of preference I would rank them 1) El Dorado 21 2) Angostura 1824 3) Havana Club Selección de Maestros. The El Dorado was the perfect blend of sweetness for a neat rum, the Havana Club was a little spicy for my personal tastes. But, they all were great rums.

I have 5-6 spiced rums sitting around my house, due to guest leaving them here. My hope is to only keep the two I like best. Any drink suggestions to help narrow down which spiced rums I like the best?

I picked up a bottle of Bacardi Reserva Limitada a few days ago. I would highly recommend it. It is a deliciously rich and flavorful rum. Wonderful to have neat. Probably in my top 3-5 favorite in my collection right now.

I was sailing around the Virgin Islands and decided to pick up some rums that I rarely see at home.

Kenning posted:Man you are in for a treat with that Barbancourt. I normally drink El Dorado 21 or Angosture 1824 for a sipping rum. This was a delicious and wonderful change. It has more spice to the taste, and some interesting nuances. I'm happy to have it in my collection.

This thread makes me want to buy even more rum, which is frightening since I am running out of room in my home bar.  I have a deep rooted love of rum. The first time I ever tried rum was 21yr old El Dorado rum when I was 15. Honestly, I thought all rum tasted like it did. The next rum I had was Bacardi Gold,which was quiet a shock. Now my rum collection keeps growing. Rum - Aged: Ron Zacapa 23 El Dorado 21 Year Old Angostura 1824 HAVANA CLUB SELECCION DE MAESTROS BACARDI RESERVA LIMITADA Flor de Cana 18yr Barbancourt 15yr Rum - White: El Dorado 6 Year Old Silver Rum Leblon Cachaca DOMAINE DE MARQUISAT DE STE MARIE RHUM LONGUETEAU Rum - Spiced: Captain Morgan Spiced Rum Cruzan No. 9 Spiced Rum Hurricane Harry’s Spiced Rum Sailor Jerry’s Rum - Standard: Mount Gay Rum Blackwell Gold Rum Diplomatico Reserva Grand Reserve Plantation Rum Mount Gay XO Angostura 1919 El Dorado 12 Year Old Cruzan Single Barrel Devoz fucked around with this message at 02:31 on May 2, 2014 |

krustster posted:How's the Bacardi? I've seen their "8" and "Ron Solera" but never could make myself try them, mainly because the name. I have only tried the Cruzan single barrel, and it is a drat fine rum. For the money it is one of the best rums you can find in my opinion. The Bacardi rum is an amazing rum, with an incredible depth. The taste was more toffeeish/caramelly and very dry from the woodiness, with a spicy finish that lingered for a long time. It is unlike anything else from Bacardi, in a very good way.

Bacardi 151 is a special kind of terrible.

So, I thought it would be interesting try to a vertical review of a rum distillery. El Dorado rum was the best choice, as I have the most options for the tasting. What is interesting about El Dorado is that they use a number of different stills to make the rum blends. They are nice enough to give you a general idea of what stills are featured in what rum. See below:  Based on what I had on hand, I picked out El Dorado 8yr, 12yr, 15yr and 21yr.  In terms of which order I would rank them, after tasting them all blind, would be #1) 21yr, #2) 8yr, #3) 15yr, and #4) 12yr. That is not to say the 12yr is a bad rum, it is actually very good. 8yr old: compared to the other rums, it had very little in the way of wood notes. Pecans, brown sugar and molasses. It is a very smooth and light rum. This makes a very good mixer or sipping rum. 12yr old: brown sugar, notes of wood, vanilla and cinnamon would be the major flavors I tasted with this rum. 15yr old: the driest of the four rums. Tastes of maple syrup and chocolate notes. 21yr old: this is one of my favorite rums, it is wonderfully smooth. Toffee, brown sugar and oak. If you get a chance, try this rum.

Mahler posted:Woah! Thanks for your reply. I've seen Ron Zacapa on the shelves but at 80 dollars CAN it's something I'm waiting to go on sale (not that the sales here are too spectacular). The VSOPs you mention are both unavailable, but Wray and Nephew is! Based on the pricing and stock, I'm assuming you are in Ontario. Rum Dos Maderas Px 5 x5 rum was just released by the LCBO. Wonderful stuff, rum that was finished an additional 5 years in sherry casks in Spain.
