Rum

gripnrip

I know virtually nothing about rum, other than the occasional Bacardi/Coke. Any advice on premium rum, especially rum that goes with a fine cigar?

Zaya is fantastic rum, and can't be beat for the money aside from Ron Zacapa Centenario. The Goslings family reserve is great as well, but at about double the price.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try a couple of these suggestions this weekend. Nothing else to do but drink and smoke-still snowing!

Captain Morgans Private Stock is all I need in a rum. Love that stuff and it's not real expensive. You shouldn't pay more than $22 for a bottle.

I enjoy Mount Gay rum especially extra old and 1703 http://www.mountgayrum.com/

Wow. That is one of the coolest websites I've seen in a while. Love the porn music too.

I've tried it but didn't like it very much. Of course I grew up drinking Capt. & Coke listening to the porn music on their site.

Rum and Tonic can be good. I had some Zaya and Tonic at the cigar event I went to last Tuesday and it was really good. Was surprised how good it was actually. Mostly rum and just a splash of tonic. Very tastey!

Hmmm...rum and tonic? Never thought of that, but I'm not sure it'll be at the top of my try-list.

Spiced Rum and Mountain Dew Code Red. I can think of a lot of other things I'd rather drink, but if you don't mind the sweetness, it's allright. It certainly fits the easy requirement!

Different rums for different sticks. Alex wrote a really good article on rum/cigar pairings a few months ago. If you hunt around on the site I'm sure you could probably find it. That would be a good place to start.

Mojitos are another popular one, but that takes some practice to get right. Though I'm not normally a mixed drink kind of guy, I just had one of these made by Jo3zer last weekend and it was excellent. He's got that one down.

Aside from what Rob said (Zaya and Zacapa) I like Cruzan Single Barrel (good to sip, very good to mix with) and Montecristo 12 year old. Montecristo also makes a spiced rum and it goes great with Dr. Pepper. A less expensive spiced rum is Kilo Kai; I like it because it has a touch of vanilla in the finish. Another rum that Rob has mentioned before, that I still cannot find, in the Plantation Reserve, ask him about it.
