When the rum takes hold, it can be a loopy and wild night. As a I found out after consuming over half a bottle of Sailor Jerry's, neat and warm at a VW show at the weekend.
Off the the shop tonight to re stock. Going to try something different as usually go with the Jerry's or Morgan spiced.

I'm off to Dominican Republic next week on my hols and looking forward to trying and bringing home some local bottles. There's a factory tour near by too, although I hope there's no 'hard sell' element to it as is often the way of these countries.
Not so clued up on Rums (more of a whisky man) so if anyone has any recommendations that be great!

We went to the Dominican Republic about 12 years ago when I was in my early 20's, didn't drink rum at the time but remember tipping the guy who brought our bags to the room $20 and him bringing us some belting cigars and a bottle of "Dominican Gasoline" which was the local 151 proof!

Rum trivia question: What rum did Sir Francis Drake stock his ships with?
Do tell!I'm thinking of trying some rums. I'm a whisk(e)y man, but have a bottle of Kraken, and fancy expanding my drinking horizons.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Admiral's Old J Spiced Rum, after being treated to a couple of shots at the Great British Tattoo Show at the weekend.
They also do a 151 Proof 'Tiki Fire' version which I also tried, incredibly smooth as easily neat drinkable considering the strength!

Having recently got into whisky, time to expand my horizons. I like sweeter whisky, sherry cask etc - on that basis can anyone recommend a nice rum?
I would suggest Mount Gay XO. It's about £34/bottle if you shop around. Lovely stuff.
Another one to consider, provided you really do like 'sweet' would be this one:-
Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

similar price.
I like them both, but the DRE is definitely a lot sweeter.
