Lots of typos...... I'm guessing you had some rum before you posted. Good for you for making it a true "drunken rambling". Rum is cool I guess.
I looooove rum. Pyrat XO is very good, I'm also a huge fan of Pampero Anniversario. If you're looking for a sweet rum, Dogfish Head's Brown Honey rum is exceedingly easy to drink. I also love Rogue's hazelnut rum, the hazelnut really comes out in a rum & coke. i would say rum is probably my favorite alcoholic beverage. Unfortunately, I can't distill in the states, and no bar ever has a decent selection of it.
I'm not sold on rum yet. Anyone know a good sipping rum that doesn't taste like cough medicine?
The Ron Zacappa 23yr is by far my favorite rum. It
+1 for Ron Zacapa !!
A buddy turned me on to the stuff. He put a shot in a plastic cup...didn't tell me what it was. I sipped it...not knowing what I was going to get. Pure honey dew vine water...the stuff is an elixer! I used to only drink single malt scotch, when I wanted a sipping whiskey. Now...Ron Zacapa is one of my favorites.
We took some to a bar down in San Juan. The Bar Tender was a hardcore aficionado of Rum. He went through a whole process of cleansing a brandy snifter...flamed it to warm the glass...poured a little Ron Zacapa in...swirled it around...held it up, looking at the light passing through it...and finally buried his nose in the glass...taking in a deep whiff. NEVER tasted it actually. And stepped back and said "Magnificent!" We didn't even tell him what kind of RUM it was. I'm more of a TASTE it kinda guy...but whatever.
If you haven't tried it before...you owe it to yourself!

I'd sure like that Mai Tai recipe if you don't mind sharing

Barbancourt! Its a rum made from free run sugar not molassas so it doesn't have that syrupy feeling. I prefer the 8 year and its awesome. Then again if you can get your hands on some Havana Club 7 year that's even better, just don't tell uncle Sam :cross:
As for white rum Ten Cane is a great high end rum. Great in mojitos and other mixed drinks. I prefer the dark stuff but I've got a bottle of Havana Club 3 year (Thank you duty-free ) that's just begging to be opened.

On a more sober note I usually prefer this to Sailor Jerry for sipping. Really good stuff-
