Well, I enjoy both rum and ron...

Rum is a bit boring over here. The selection of rums you can easily obtain in the store are largely limited to different varieties of Captain Morgan's, Club Havana, Bacardi and Malibu if the last one counts ..

They are okay, but none of them are very exciting. I'm assuming there's a world of interesting rums out there for those who can get their hands on it though.

Well, my in-laws are Jamaican so I get exposed to a decent amount of good rum. Jamaican white rum is crazy by the way; it's incredibly strong, smells like model airplane glue and will fuck you up before you even know what hit you. Here's some Wray and Nephew (63% ABV):

For a quality Jamaican rum that won't make you feel like you've been hit by a train I recommend Appleton Estate.

I'll just chip in with a couple of favourites of my own...

^ Anyone who thinks they hate gin needs to be pointed in the direction of this and a bottle of lemonade. It's just a pain in the arse how it's sold for its weight in gold and all.

^ Malted + unmalted barley = awesomeness. Again, it's expensive as hell though.

Jameson is more for irish coffee than on it's own I think

I've heard stories about expensive, aged tequilas being enjoyed like fine cognacs. It's interesting because normally, tequila implies much sucking of grapes, licking salt off your own hands and getting generally ****faced over here. I mean, it's not a drink I associate with sophistication, at least not according to my own experiences so far.

Anyone tried the posh variant?

Can't say that I have, but in the States Jameson isn't all that expensive, and I'll drink that **** on the rocks. I dig it.

Janszoon - Nicely done with the Knob Creek drop. I like my bourbon as well.

Now this! Is a winner. Wheat bourbon. Smooth as a baby's ass.

This is nothing to scoff at, either. If you scoff at things, that is.

But this is my shit. Specifically the Anejo. I am a tequila drinkin' fool. But I'm actually surprised I'm even in this thread, with the kind of hungover day I had.

Jamaican rum is rediculous. I stole a bottle from my uncle when I was in college and we had the bright idea of sneaking it into peoples beer bongs, good times.

I love Scotch, which usually leads people to believe that I'm a single malt snob, but I'm really not. I'll drink anything from Inver House which can be purchased in a 32 oz. plastic jug to Glenmorangie which at some places can go for over $30 a pour. I really can't get down with bourbon though; Knob Creek is definitely too sweet for my tastes, but I do have somewhat of a penchant for Jack Daniels.

OK I can't seem to find any pictures on Google right now and I'm away from my home so I can't take a picture of it, but it's a Cuban rum called Castillo Cuban Rum. She gets it while she's away on business in Mexico and I have to say it's probably the smoothest rum I've ever had. It's got enough of a kick to it to make you not shoot back the shots quickly like with white rums, but it's smooth enough to make you want to. If you can, try it with the Mexican Coke bottles because they're made from actual cane sugar rather than corn syrup. Generally the Mexican cokes are 200% better, but they're hard to come by. I know Costco and Sam's Club have them, but I'm sure Mexican run convenience stores would have it. Anyway, the blend of both flavors is nearly orgasmic and quite possibly the only sugary drink I will willingly drink.
