From the article: A Guide to Popular Rum Brands
Rum is a very diverse liquor and it seems that everyone has a favorite, though many people stick with one of the big name brands. Which rum do you recommend for cocktails? Is there a certain rum that you find more versatile than others, a special find that you fell for after the first sip, or one that you recommend for a specific rum cocktail? Recommend a Rum
Simply the Best
- If you haven't tried this rum you are missing the great taste of the islands. Angostura Rums from Trinidad are some of the finest in the business. My favourite is Royal Oak. Each bottle has a serial number on it and comes in a distinctive metal case. Amber in colour with a rich rum taste. Great over ice or in a cola mix. Hard to find in Canada or U.S. I always have a bottle or two spare around after my trips cruising the Caribbean.

By far the best deal...
- Tanduay Superior 12 yr old dark rum. Available only in the Philippines and nearby Asian venues (as far as I've discovered) easily competes with Havana Club at 1/10 the price. Best rum deal in the world if you can find it!

Why is the rum gone?
- Because it's so good it's been drank....Gosling's Family Reserve Old Rum is my fave

Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum
- I like to use rum in baking as well as for cocktails. I have tried over the years many different brands and colors. My favorite rum is definitely Sailor Jerry. It has the aroma of rum and vanilla and the other spices are not overbearing, which gives it a smooth taste.

Missing rums
- Myers and Lambs are only mentioned once. yet both have varieties that range to dark. Why? What about Havana Club and it 3, sometimes 4, classifications? Better than Bacardi, none of which I like or serve, any day of the week.

Lemon Hart 151
- Although I enjoy Barbancourt 5 Star, Kraken, and Pyrat XO, nothing beats Lemon Hart 151 demerara rum. I use it in every recipe that calls for a 151 proof rum and in spite of the alcohol content, I routinely sip this neat. The flavor is so bloody rich and delicious, words fail me. And a Zombie just isn't a Zombie without it!

Great Rum
- Barbancourt 5 star and Flor de Cana are both excellent choices.

It came from the deep...
- I am not a rum guy at all. Whiskey is my poison of choice. But, my flatmate bought some Kraken dark rum that I legitimately enjoyed.

Sangster's Jamaican Rum Cream
- Wonderful, smooth flavor, not overpowering. Reminds you of Bailey's Irish Cream.

- You did not mention the volume the pricing was basesd on. I prefer RonRico light and clear @$17.00 for a 1.75l crowd pleaser

Ron Zacapa 23 Year
- Smooth as silk and very full of flavor - I don't mix, just sip. Zacapa replaced Barbancourt Five Star as my favorite. Will be trying Zaya - thanks for the reviews....
- —Guest Floridian
Ron Diaz
- One of the best cheap rums available. Not terribly good, but can't be beat for the price. About $11 for a 1.75.
