Show us your Rum

[offspring86]

Well there's a whisky thread, so lets see your rum!

Here's mine:

Ron Zacapa 23


Havana Club Anejo 7


Bacardi Oakheart


Captain Morgan


Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Ron Antiguo


I drink them all neat apart from the Havana Club which I occasionally mix with ginger ale and a slice of lime.

The Captain Morgan and Oakheart are for general evenings when I fancy a small glass. The others are for more special evenings when I fancy something with a little more depth.

The next purchase over the Christmas period will be a bottle of Matusalem Gran Reserva 15

Well this afternoon I took a trip down to 'Lahdahn Tahn' to meet up with an old housemate. He's a big whisky fan so we headed over to The Whisky Exchange to peruse their products. What a place! We were like kids in a sweet shop! I ended up walking away with a bottle of R.L Seale's 10 Year Old. Looking forward to opening it next week!



I also bought a gift for my girlfriend:



Finally I picked up another bottle of Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Ron Antiguo for my girlfriend's Father as he polished off 3 glasses of mine last time they were over!

My housemate bought a bottle of Longmorn 12 Year Old.

after a recent spell of parties my rum stash is severely depleted. only a bottle of pyrat and some matusalem 15 left. i would;t recommend the latter btw OP, it isn't very good.

I quite liked it when I tried it on holiday. The girlfriend's parents' are bringing a bottle back from The Bahamas for me. At £10 a bottle it's no great loss if it's not as good as I remember.

Well Santa (girlfriend and her parent's) was very good to me this year:

Her parent's brought back a bottle of Matusalem for me:



My girlfriend bought me a bottle of Rumbullion too:



Finally I bought a bottle of Havana Club for mixing:



I've built quite a collection of rum now, I may need some assistance with drinking it!

hows the rumbullion btw? the whole ampleforths range looks intriguing.

It's fantastic! Like winter in a glass - orange, vanilla and an after taste that has hints of cloves. A brilliant cold evening drink.
