Rum

[Yomanze]

Sailor Jerry's is a favourite of mine.

Mine too, much nicer than the usual spiced rums. Kraken I find a bit too sickly. Of course a fan of Appleton too, like most rum lovers.

thought I mentioned this last weekend, but I got 6 litres of poncha sent over from madeira... lovely stuff...

not as good as the fresh stuff (made with 50% rum), but hits the spot of a Friday night...

Currently drinking Woods 100 Navy Strength Rum. What a cracking Rum. 57% and very smooth. Bargain at the £22 mark.

why not add to the mature rum thread?

https://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/rum.217132/

can a mod merge this?

 

[Spike]

I had contributed to that thread. Just seemed an eternity ago so thought I’d start a new one.

I find Woods a little harsh, despite its luscious aroma. I prefer Pussers Gunpowder, but it's roughly double the price of Woods.

March 2019, your idea of an eternity is very different to mine

It happens as you get older!

My dad got me some from Trinidad. Not a huge lover of Rum though

Woods - too much toffee/mars-bar caramel taste for me.
Bermuda is pretty good; as, for my taste, is Lamb's Navy - neither remotely expensive, and both a good bit darker, literally, and in molasses-complex flavour. (My taste, may not be anyone elses!)


PS white 'rum' doesn't even qualify for use as a degreaser round here. hideous.

I enjoy a glass of Wood's now and again, but to my pallete I find its like drinking Xmas cake.

 

[gintonic]

with or without a cube of ice? that is the question.

I love rum just as much as whisky. Cuban for the rum and Isley for the other nectar. Yummy.
Both neat.

Perfect & more-concise version of my experience. I agree

Hi Martin,

I do enjoy Goslings Black Seal from Bermuda. Also got a bottle of their 151! Not a sipping Rum! Although your free to try it next time you’re up this way.

 

[Spike]

Also recommend searching out Alnwick Rum. Really well balanced. Almost like a mellow version of Woods.

neat with ice.
