    The best rum for the buck that I've found locally (IA) is 7yr old Flor de Cana. Man, that is some very smooth and tasty stuff!

    Wow, a Moscow Mule sounds good right about now. I've got a bottle of Havana Club here that I've been waiting to open, and now I know what I'm going to drink with it after I give it a go on the rocks.

    Just trided that Pyrate XO in a Mojito (of all things). I know it's too good for that, but that's what I was served, and I must say it was the finest Rum experience I have ever had.

    Im a huge scotch fan, but can honestly say I have never tried a good rum...or a rum that wasnt mixed with something else for that matter.

    Josh, try the El Dorado. I've also only been using rum mixed with coke and hot tea until I tried this little gem and realized that I could drink it on its own. Goes down like mother's milk.

    I just can't get into rum. In general, I don't like sweet drinks. I don't drink "??? and coke" drinks at all, for example. I tried a mojito, didn't like it. Tried many other sweet drinks, just can't get into them. Don't like sweet liquors that much either although I do love Bailey's Irish Creme in my coffee sometimes.... that's about the limit.

    I guess that's why I'm a Scotch man.

    Hey! I'm a Scotchman!
    I'm with you on sweet drinks though, Gary. I can't drink coke or the like at all. A decent rum by itself is another matter and I'd put some of the really good rums up with the malts. There's a phrase in my head trying to make itself heard - something about me liking my drinks as I like my razors - old and straight.

    I like bourbon and coke, but I prefer using diet coke otherwise the result is waaay too sweet.
