Jib Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Lots of small run rum makers are now selling product on a local level. Just curious what your favorite rum is to drink straight without ice or a mix? Mine? Goslings Black Seal.
Cheeky Actress Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Tried some of really great rum in Grand Cayman just recently. I like Tortuga Gold Rum and Seven Fathoms Premium Rum. Member of "The Forsaken"
Jas. Hook Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Black Seal, Pyrate, Kraken are my three choices. If I had to choose one... Kraken... neat. Jas.

D B Couper Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 If tha lootin be good, Captain Morgan Private Stock. If I've just a few dubloons, Gosling's Black Seal. D.B. Couper
madPete Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 If tha lootin be good, Captain Morgan Private Stock. If I've just a few dubloons, Gosling's Black Seal. Aye, Private Stock be my choice as well. After that, there are a couple of ties, Pyrate and goslings. mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Jib Posted April 25, 2012 Author Posted April 25, 2012 Interesting that so many people like Captain Morgan. I rather dismissed it as being too large a distiller to create a rum that can be enjoyed without a mix.
Mission Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Ron Atlantico Private Cask. Mmmmm. Pyrat is pretty good too. (Although my favorite pirate drink is stolen mead. ) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

madPete Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Interesting that so many people like Captain Morgan. I rather dismissed it as being too large a distiller to create a rum that can be enjoyed without a mix. Private Stock is the only one worthy, the rest is mixer from my experience. mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
crow Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 English Harbour would my favourite neat, Kraken would be me second. Pussar's is also a good rum but a lttle on the dry side fer me. Lord above please send a dove with wings as sharp as razors , to cuts the throats of them there blokes what sells bad booze to sailors .. " Illigitimiti non carborundum . "
Tartan Jack Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I'm simple . . . I prefer Blackstrap, then Pyrat. CM Private Stock is pretty good, but a bit sweet. Pusser's is quite good too. I love Mount Gay, but it's a bit more costly. When I buy it myself, I get either Blackstrap or Pyrat- dependent upon my mood at the moment and the prices of the store. -John "Tartan Jack" Wages, of South Carolina Â
Tartan Jack Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Pusser's IS the British Navy rum, for those who don't realize it. When the Royal Navy stopped buying all of it, the manufacturer got permission to sell the rum to the general public. Whether Pusser's rum gradually changed over its 300 year time as THE RN rum, due to changing tastes of time, or stayed the same (as Pusser's says) is a matter of debate. The present Pusser's IS the stuff used in WW1 and WW2, maybe earlier (how early?). -John "Tartan Jack" Wages, of South Carolina Â
peglegstrick Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Wasen't it originally 1 part Pusser's to 2 parts water to make Grog? 1/3rd rum and 2/3rds water. Pusser's was namwd after the guy in chsrge of giving it out (the pusser).
Jib Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 I recently killed a bottle of Siesta Key rum which was very nice but a little rough to drink "neat".
Pixel Pirate Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 After being totally "grossed out" by rum for the longest time....(err...long story, but it involves college), last night I hit my stash and found a nice bottle of Puerto Rican coconut rum. I was so used to Captain Morgans and Black Seal, that I figured that this would basically be the same. It wasn't. Absolutely delicious. I even had a shot of it straight up and it was not harsh at all. Mix it with some orange liqueur and orange juice and you have yourself a delicious beverage.
Capt. J... Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Well Mates......mine is just the regular old "Havana Club". Suprisingly smooooooth and not bitter !!!!!!!! Yo Ho.......
Capn Bob Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Aye, mark me down on the Morgan's Private Stock list...I explain to me more lubberly colleagues here at library that it's like being smashed in the mouth with a fistful of vanilla beans...but in a *good* way... Besides...its easy to find. Can't lay hooks on Pyrat here, scupper me hide... Edited August 8, 2012 by Capn Bob Damn, thats sharp!
CaptainB Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I take a drop of Kraken, Pyrat or Pampero Anniversario. CM and those other mass produced are strictly mixers in my quarters. "If I believed in fate, I wouldn't be playing with loaded dice..."
Jas. Hook Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I tried Captain Morgan Tattoo last week... god awful sweet syrup. Must be mixed as a drink or thinned out with another rum. I'll stick with Kraken. Jas Hook "Born on an island, live on an island... the sea has always been in my blood." Jas. Hook "You can't direct the wind . . . but . . . you can adjust the sails."

Captain Jim Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Mt. Gay. Neat, wrecked (on the rocks ) or mixed with a little ginger ale and lime (sort of a fizzy grog, if you will.) My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Matty Bottles Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Mt. Gay. Neat, wrecked (on the rocks ) or mixed with a little ginger ale and lime (sort of a fizzy grog, if you will.) Extra Old is quite good. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum
