Thread: rum

Hi,

Woods 100, Pussers & Mount Gay are my favourite rums

The Pussers 15 year old is superb, but scalpingly expensive in the UK at ca 40 GBP (ca 60 USD).

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

Hi Mick;

Stubbs Rum is excellent. Very smooth clean rum. It mixes well with tonic and limes. We used to get the white version around here years ago then the local importer quit bringing it in. It’s very similar to the CJ Wray distillery in Jamaica, clean dry white rum. It’s a lower alcohol volume than say Vodka or Gin for tonics. I know my tastes have changed over the years. I can’t hit the boozer like I used to. All things in moderation, yada ,yada.

Captain Morgan & Sailor Jerry are both very good friends of mine, Thank You !

You want some good rum (or in this case rhum made from sugar cane instead of molasses) go with -



It does get better with the 15 year but I'm waiting for that coming in.

Hands down its Flor de Cana a Nicaraguan rum. Especially the anejo. The rums of Panama are usually a good bet with Abuelo one of the tops. And when you see the prices for them in Central America, you'll understand why it was the go to liquor for the British Navy.

The pipe "Up Spirits" and even rarer "Splice the Mainbrace" has not been heard on RCN ships for about 45 years. It was a sad day when we buried the rum and tots disappeared. I believe the RN buried the rum around the same time.

I'm not much into rums but whenever i need a bottle it'll be Angostura 1919.

If I do take a drink of rum it most likely would be Lambs Navy. I like the dark and dirty stuff not the lighter rums. Old habits I guess.

Yeah Lamb's Navy Rum. I did a two month tour in Gibraltar on a wreck removal job. Once in a while we'd get the chance to go ashore and we'd invariably celebrate with a shot of Lamb's. It's rough and unpretentious and I like that. Gibraltar has no VAT tax and I should have brought a bottle or two home, the price was right.

If you think Lambs Navy is rough and unpretentious, I won't argue that, the issue overproof tot was that in spades.
