This feels like a dumb question, but I have to ask.

When I tried this bottle, it tasted a lot like a spiced rum (a decent one.) Of course there's a little sweetness there given that it's Planteray, but it had this strong orange, vanilla, baking spice flavor. So much so that I had to look up if it was spiced. Didn't see anything online saying it was and haven't seen any indication that it is.

I'm not terribly familiar with Mauritian or Fijian rums, so if it isn't, maybe there's something there I'm just not used to tasting?

Hello All - I want to find a good sipping rum and the first brand I have tried is Appleton Estates Signature Blend (because it was on sale). I like it, but I find it a bit watery. What would you experienced rum drinkers suggest that is bolder, richer, and has a bit more of a burn? Thanks in advance ...

Edit: I'm in BC, Canada and I wouldn't want to go over 50$ Cdn (which is 35 American).

I’m going to Paris on Friday and I’m keen to pick up some Agricole. Last time I was there I got a bottle of Pere labat 59 and loved it. Open to any suggestions of great Agricoles and/or any that are hard to get outside of France/The island it’s from

Got the Smith and Cross for hurricane, decent as the funk mixes in ok.

I do not like it with Coke or Dr. Pepper...

Open to suggestions that mix well with Coke... Thanks

I was wondering what others thought about the differences in tatse between these two rums. Supposedly the only difference is the addition of caramel coloring to the black. Otherwise they taste quite similar.

I am not a connoisseur of rum and after browsing this subreddit I can’t find a clear answer.

My fiance like to sip rum. I’ve heard him order Diplomatico and Zaya before. He says he likes dark rum but I’m learning that’s too vague. But he does tend to also enjoy rum that looks more caramel than light.

I’d like to spend a pretty penny. Like $100-150 on a bottle. I’ll ship it even. Any suggestions?

Hi all! I'm wondering if anyone on here knows a way I could get a bottle of black heart rum (red label with a black heart on it) in the UK, whether that's by online shipping or a store that possibly has it. Black Heart was my grandfather's tipple for years and years until it was discontinued in the UK. He has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour and his time here is running thin, and since I was a kid he has spoken about just wanting to taste it one more time and I'm just desperate to make that happen. Thanks so much in advance if anyone gets back to me!

Someone wants to buy me an Xmas bottle up to £100 and I've never spent more than £50 personally

I only ever drink it neat, so needs to be a sipper

I love Flor De Cana, El Dorado, R L Seales 10 etc

What would you recommend at this price point pls?

Which would you pick?

Excellent bottle. A back up would have been nice.

Rum tasting advent calendar from Drinks by the Dram is already going strong. Today is Black Tears Spiced Rum 👍

Now relabeled as “Planteray” this rum in this volume has been discontinued. Thankfully, a few stores in my area still carry it in the larger volume!

I am looking for a nice sipping rum that is mildly but agreeablely dosed.

My dad is huge into tiki bars and fancy rum based drinks; i know nothing about rum but want to get him some fancy rum for christmas. Looking to spend under $80 and something that can be bought in any store, or shipped, would be fine. What recommendations do you have?

We are doing secret Santa’s at work, I appreciate the person we are doing it for, and I want to get them a nice Rum.

I know absolutely nothing about Rum, I’ve found the Appleton Estate 21, and the El Dorado 25, I don’t know if these are the right decisions.

Which one do you guys prefer, or is there something else I should get entirely?
