Rum Rum Rum, I like Rum, Rummy Rum Rum . . . ahem, pardon me, just a little rum song

My favorite at the moment has to be Sailor Jerrys with green tea ginger ale, a bunch of mint (home grown naturally) and a little sugar on ice, goes down soo smooth.
The Captain, of course. The Kraken usually comes out at a certain level of intoxication where the phrase "RELEASE THE KRAKEN" becomes absolutely hilarious.
I'm also quite taken with Legendario Elixr de Cuba, straight on ice, very good. Tried a few others but those are my favorite at the moment.

I bought a 26 in the US for $25. I was thrilled silly with it. Sooooo good. I was at first PO'd that you could buy it here, (I try to buy unique booze in the US) but got over it once I finished the first bottle!

Eldorado 15 year is my favorite rum, Zaya is a very close second! I only drink them neat.

Forty Creek whiskey and Tangle Ridge whiskey are my other favorite boozes!

Resurrecting an old post because it’s important!!!

Looking for two different rums I use to be able to buy locally. “One Barrel” and “CockSpur”. If anyone know of a store that carries either your help would be appreciated.

Not much of a rum aficionado. Spiced rum is my go to when I have the urge.
I do know I wish the member that started this thread was still around here though...

Can't remember back that far if I posted on this. But I used to get Bacardi Oak Heart spiced rum. I am only finding it in the mickey size now, and every once in a while a 26. I used to take a 40 hunting for a week and bring back 1/2 of it. lol That would last me until New Years.

And there's the difference between a Rum drinker and a Scotch drinker.

Well I'm more a scotch drinker, but I do like a nice rum now and again. The Barcello extra anejo is by far my favorite, the Eldorado 12 and 15 also very nice.

Eldorado 12 is the basically the only rum I buy. Usually drink it neat, I haven't tried the 15, I've been drinking the 12, for 10 years or so I'm kind of attached to it.

I agree

Been drinking this rum for 2years now just as mentioned ! First time was around the firepit at moose camp one night. A buddy brought it. A sip straight out of the bottle. Between 6 guys the bottle maybe made it around 3 times and it was gone!😳👍. Been hooked since. It’s my drink sitting around the campfire at the lake with my wife when our 2 boys crash in their bunks in the trailer. My wife will ask me to make her a vodka paralysirer or 2😎👍

Use www.liquorconnect.com to find any rum (or other alcohol) sold in the province.

Favorite rums:

Brugal 1888- my perfect rum. Goes down smooth on its own but excellent in mixed drinks.

Plantation 5 year- pairs well with eggnog.

Merchant Shipping Co. White Rum- best budget option out there.

Diplomatico - green bottle. Best rum for the price. Straight with ice.

Bumbu was almost hard to find there for a few months - everyone found out about it!
I've smashed a few bottles of it myself - I always take my flask to the golf course now and I love a few sippers with my pipe at the campfire.

Haven't found Bumbu XO yet, but i'll start looking!

El Dorado 15 and 21 are still my favorites
