I've tried the El Dorado. About the only rum I'd drink straight. My mom's loco over it... She's down there right now, reducing the Guayanese national supply of 15 year old El Dorado and crunching numbers for a geophysical survey. I'm sure she'll bring back a couple of bottles, one of them should be for her dear son :D
Mmm, Guyanese rum. My dad used to live there for a while and I learned to get very fond of Banks beer and King of Diamonds rum - if your mother encounters any of the 18yo, I'm sure she'd love it.
A quick surf of the net has told me that King of Diamonds is now known as El Dorado:o . Glad we're all in agreement that it's good stuff, though.
:cry: jeeez Over here in the UK the choices of Rum are pretty sparse .. I drink rum more than our traditional drink of Whisky - and moreso reacently Jagermeister . I could sip Rum all day tho , also lovely in coffee but only on days off .. !
Bacardi black, and Morgan's...

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. :tuQuote:

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.

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