Rum

Time to grow up and drink Scotch!

I used to love rum but prefer whisky these days (not whiskey note, not that I've anything against them).

That said I had my first bottle of Sailor Jerry as a gift recently and found it rather pleasurable.

Not to change the subject but since jack Daniels has been mentioned, I recommend gentleman jack to any fans, very smooth.

Bacardi 151.  It should come with COSHH instructions though.

Something about JD really grates on me, I feel like it is marketed at children. It tastes alright as a mixing drink but isn't it made from complete rubbish? So my mate who owns a bar tells me.

Has anyone found a place to get Cruzan 9 over here? I had it in America a few years back, absolutely gorgeous spiced rum but not been able to source it over here

JD as most know it probably is but they do quality bourbons like gentleman or silver select or single barrel that is made one barrel at a time

I went off JD years ago. The smell now turns my stomaach. Sure I only drank it to be rock n roll Moved on to Jim Beam, which I find a lot easier to drink.

But this is a rum thread, and I'm yet to find a bad one. White rum excluded.

White rum is just wrong. I drank some very nice rum in Cuba, sons very cheap stuff too. I was at a event where that have huge tanks if rum and you hand over your drinking vessel which they fill with cheap neat rum with a flat price regardless of size.

The dark Havana club is very good, think it is 18 years but the younger stuff is good too, more for mixing though.

reiteration

yep, woods rum is my fave...
