Paul: As a fan of Islay malts, I'm finding the Jamaican rums to be quite to my liking.  Not that they're similar, just that they are both a bit "out there" compared to other options.  I have some that I like better than others, but haven't found one I can't drink.  My Spanish style rums are feeling unloved lately....

I had a Sample of an old bottling "Alfred Lamb's 100 Navy Rum HMS Warrior ". I am on vacation... So i could not choose from the hole Navy range. ... and here is what i learned on the German Rum Festival:  “There are tall ships…and small ships…ships that sails the sea… but the best ships are friendships…may they aaaalwaaaays beeee”    So happy Black Tot Day 😁...

Yeah, you can contact the site owner and they'll review and add for you. You should be able to find contact info in About of Help - though those links don't seem to be working at this very moment......

In a recent Rumcast episode, someone was saying they went to a home and the rum bottles were somehow 'built into' the wall with shelves that perfectly matched the bottle heights - making it look almost like bottle wallpaper. That sounded pretty cool!...

Yeah, I just had a top separate from the "cork" (plastic?) on a bottle of Hamilton Jamaican....

As most Chinese liquor stores do not sell online therefore not showing a website it will be impossible to discover what one and where.  Therefore, best to contact the Concierge at the hotel, as they will have all the knowledge at their fingertips.  After all, this request will be considered just part of the many functions of a Concierge.  Good luck...

Switch to Ting if you can find it. It blows fresca away! Update, Walmart now sells it but it always sells out fast. It's made by Caribe the Carribean brewery. I found it in only one place  in NYC but it's in the hood on flatbush Avenue and that's where there's a Carribean neighborhood  so look for those neighborhoods near you. Good luck!...

Vážení není možné nevšimnout si bezprecedentního zastoupení Čechů (Moraváků, Slezanů) v žebříčku top recenzentů stránek RumRatings, vycházející z dnes nepochopitelné (vzhledem k hnusné chuti tuzemáku) oblíbenosti "rumu". Po zmizení (více jak 3000-ového krále Joola69) první dva top recenzenti a množství ostatních "čechů"v žebříčku, v přepočtu obyvatel na hlavu, je až zarážející. Zkrátka vedeme! ...

Great thing Andy, that sounds quite interesting. I would give it the name "Crew or Crews"....

Diplomatic single Vintage is Awesome. Stay away from Ambassador way to heavy in port barrels.Appleton 21 is on my birthday shelf very good especially if you like a small dose of Jamaican Hogo.....

I too prefer the 12 to the 15 - both good, but the 12 just does more for me for some reason....

Puring down a 21years old Chairman's Master Selection is really a pity. They have great flavors but they are dry for sure. Maybe you can keep it in a dark dry corner and try it again some time. To challange your taste buds every now and than. I have the same with my clairin bottling or my nine leaves. ...

hey DB, I gave it a chance, and now I like it, so I think I may have followed the same path as you.  When I tried S&C I had no idea what a range of flavors Jamaican rums cover.  The Appleton 12yo rare casks was one of the best rums I'd tried up to that time, and from Jamaica, so the flavor profile of S&C was off the charts based on my expectations of what rum should taste like at that tim...

Since the fairly new  EU regulations I've noticed quite a significant decrease in the amount of sugar added to all of the  ElDorado line up. I agree that they once   sugarbombed their products but, recently they've decreased that amount to allow for the new regulations. Although they still add sugar it's not the bomb it used to be so I went back. I'm not interested in a super dry rum. All rum need...

I actually like ABK6. The entry VSOP is pretty approachable, reasonable price. Their VSOP Grand Champagne is also really good for the price as well. Pricier, but also really good IMHO is A. de Fussigny VSOP Petite and Grand Champagne. The other brands mentioned by Bar la Moura are all good - I find very consistent, but yes - overpriced, and certainly overhyped  - like Hennessy and d'Usse. (Maybe...

mobiusmat makes a good point, could we start a post where people comment on good local bars/distilleries that rum aficionados would enjoy were they to visit?!...

Looks like Total Wine in FL lost their distributor for the "OLD MAN GUAVABERRY BRAND" rums. Which is a shame, because i really liked the flavor. Can anyone recommend something simmilar? I realize that this was a "cheap" rum, but the prce is not the point. I like the flavor and sweetines and smoothness of these rums. Their mango flavour was nice, but i like all other flavous as well....

Recently, I've been spending a lot of time in Panama. My favorite is the Abuelo 7yr old. Best bang for the buck! Their 15yr old double cask is good too but, compared to the 7yr old, not a good bang for the buck! They are more on the sweet side but when your in Panama do like the Panamanians! I have found this rum everywhere I go in Panama and that's all over from north to south and east to west. T...

It should be noted that the heavy rums would be drunk at the end. The same applies to high ester rums, first the light, then the heavy (dark ones), then the high esters. Otherwise, the taste buds are in another dimension after the high ester rum. The light rums with their weak flavors would then be completely drowned out. I don't see heavy or high ester rums in the selection here, you would still ...

Old Hampdens and Appleton 30y (I saw some in duty free on Trinidad), Caroni if you can find one and TDL....

am going to try them i want barbancourt 8 years old mwb i will add ron quorhum to my list just been looking gets brilliant reviews ...

 havana master  de selection u can't go wrong but most Cuban rums are in eu now i think he will need to look and ask someone over there which dont get exported ...

Kevin, I was at a conference yesterday in Syosset and found a full stock of S&C at Grand Wine Cellar. Looks like it's about half hour from Long Beach. Also, Post Wine & Spirits had an excellent selection of everything....
