Can I just ask, with the more quality rums in the thread, do the owners generally sup them neat? I'm into whisky and as a rule I have those with a tiny splash of water usually.
Thanks
Rum neat, preferably accompanied by some good quality chocolate.Thanks
Whisky with a few drops of water to open it up and a few more if it is cask strength.
te.

Whoa, hang on, *that* Ron Jeremy?! Looks like him on the picture.
Oh yes, it is *that* Ron Jeremy. It is way too sweet, something like 93mg/l of added sugar but I use it as the sacrificial drop when mates comes round (always gets a laugh and means I can stick to the good stuff!). It’s not horrendous and mixed with cola is just like all the others - think holiday rum. Andrew[MG] said:
We just got a bottle of El Dorado 12 yo...very different to the El Dorado 15 yo we have.
Can't finish the 15 yo as my dad bought it for me years ago and don't want to empty the bottle
Not opened the 12 yet, interested to compare it to the 15 although it’s been a long while since I had some. Can't finish the 15 yo as my dad bought it for me years ago and don't want to empty the bottle
The two bottles of Appleton 21 are because one has a dram left after my father and I drank it before my wedding and I cannot bring myself to finish it.

And the 21 is different again. 15 is by far my favourite out of the El Dorado range. Can't finish the 15 yo as my dad bought it for me years ago and don't want to empty the bottle

Just found this thread after joining and am a bit of a rum lover myself. Started off on the Eldorado years back soon realised the 12 is the pick of that range but even so the added sugar and glycerine has become more noticeable to me the more i drink it.
I have become somewhat evangelical about pure Bajan rum in the way Richard Seale describes it https://rumauctioneer.com/news/moment-foursquares-...
The first time I had a non filtered rum it was as though i'd had a layer of wax removed from my palate.
I still drink some other stuff, particularly when friends are round but Foursquare/Doorlys are my go to.
The current rum section of the drinks cabinet :-)

I'm the same - hence my affinity with Mount Gay. Yet to try the new XO, but recently picked up a bottle of Eclipse for mixed drinks.I have become somewhat evangelical about pure Bajan rum in the way Richard Seale describes it https://rumauctioneer.com/news/moment-foursquares-...

I've almost polished off my Rum-Bar white rum. It's sort of nice but at the same time not so much. It packs so much flavour and intensity that it completely overpowers any mixers. That flavour is nice, but when mixed it just becomes odd. And I'm not into drinking young white rum neat.
Picked up antoher Goslings black seal, first use for in our home made mincemeat mix. I've not had it for a while and forgot how enjoyable it was.
Eyeing up what to get for the Xmas period for sipping. It'll probably be Bajan for the reasons above - Doorly's is one of hte few I've not yet tried to any great extent so probably will give them a go. Tempted to try some more of the Mezan range as well - they're produce some great pure rums.
