Members Mogwix Posted November 11, 2011 Members Share Posted November 11, 2011 Me and my room mate invented a new drink over the summer, we call it "the abyss". Take one shot of white rum (Captain Morgan), pour it into a tall glass. Then take a bottle (or can) of Bud Light, pour it into the glass. Enjoy. When I drink rum, I drink Sailor Jerry. I very rarely drink rum, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BrendanO Posted November 11, 2011 Members Share Posted November 11, 2011 I also recommend Kraken and Sailor Jerry. Kraken for preference, it's a little more complex tasting; Sailor Jerry is like drinking vanilla extract. In a good way, but it's a pretty strong flavor. It makes a badass vanilla coke, as a result.

Members FearTheVoices Posted November 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 12, 2011 Looks like its down to sailor Jerry and kraken, both get Graf reviews but sailor Jerry seems to end up always at 1 or 2. I'll try that first and then the kraken after that bottle is polished, or maybe buy two small bottles , one of each.. Thanks for the recos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted November 12, 2011 Members Share Posted November 12, 2011 Seriously, I'm a rum freak, you're seriously missing out if you don't try the Flor de Cana 12, or if you're feeling like dropping some money, the 18. From the Rum Howler blog... Flor de Cana Centenario 12yr Old Rum 97pts a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf) Posted October 2009 In the Bottle: (4.0/5) The design of the bottle although adequate does not serve to impress. I also believe a sleeve should be used to protect the more expensive spirits from the light. and a cork would be nice instead of the plastic screw top. In the Glass: (9.5/10) Oh my goodness, nuts and honey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just gets completely lost when you mix it, which is great if your a {censored} and don't want to taste the rum, but I like my rum and coke to actually taste like a rum and coke.

Members RupertB Posted November 12, 2011 Members Share Posted November 12, 2011 For those who want to taste their rum, I like Flor de Cana & Pyrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yanktar Posted November 12, 2011 Members Share Posted November 12, 2011 Sorry guys and I hate to say this but you really don't know {censored} about rum. Flor de Cana is the only decent rum mentioned and Pyrat is pure {censored}. Mount Gay is good for rum rum and cokes. The top of the line special reserve Matusalem is a better rum. But the best rums come from Martinique. The VERY best rum I know is Clement 1952, but its price has gone from exceptionally expensive to insane beyond belief. Even Clement 1976 is about $200/bottle when it used to be $40. Other fine rums are St. James Hors d'Age, 1979 and 1982. Trois Rivieres 1979 is another great rum. Clement's 6, 10, and 15 year old rums and their best Cuvee are all fabulous rums. If you really want fine rums, the best come from Martinique, distilled and aged like fine cognac or scotch. They are called Rhum Vieux, Old Rum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members skinsscalper Posted November 12, 2011 Members Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm no rum snob by any stretch of the imagination, but 10 Cane Rum is some pretty tasty stuff and it won't cost you a semester of college for a bottle, FWIW.
