maybee i drank too much captain but i dont know if i can into spiced rum anymore

you need to be more specific. there's light rum, dark rum, and spiced rum, and most wine snobs look down on spiced rum. are you sipping or mixing?

there's a /ck/ rum infographic floating around, maybe someone can post it. naturally, it doesn't address the issue of spiced rum.

Whatever one gets me drunk the quickest.

The op's pic is good if you like a dark spiced rum. Also mixes well with Mt. Dew or 7up

>wine snobs

er, I mean rum snobs. I swear I haven't had that much to drink.

I'm quite a fan of the Kraken. Good option I'd say OP.

kraken is actually pretty good... it's smooth and while i can't drink most rum straight, but i can drink it straight no problem...also the alcohol percentage is a little higher than most rum/whiskey so it's a nice bonus.

why would you ruin perfectly good rum with soda?

- while... my bad

I think a light rum in seltzer is a great thing to have with a cigar. Some people swear by scotch or port or whatever but I find that to be too many flavors to pay attention to.

>>4557965
I was thinking a spiced rum. I don't mind sipping, but I'm mainly a mixer with cola or ginger ale. Also a real big fan of limes if that means anything.

>>4557957
get the kraken.
you won't regret it until long into tomorrow.

>>4558001

spiced and dark rum i just drink straight... light rum i throw into beer. i don't believe in mixing alcohol with non-alcoholic drinks it just seems like a waste to me.

>>4558006
This guy gets it.

>>4558004

you don't have many options in that case. kraken, sailor jerry, captain morgan, and maybe bundaberg. as far as I'm concerned they're all pretty much the same thing, it's like coca cola vs pepsi vs rc cola. it's all garbage so go for the ones whose ads you find the least obnoxious.

My sister brought this back from Hawaii. Damn tasty.

>>4558013
i can't even taste kraken mixed with cola. only the heat from the alcohol. dangerous, delicious stuff- at least with sailor jerry's, you get an idea of how much you;re drinking because it's so apparent in your mixed drink.

>>4558013
Good point, I need to quit being a tool and make better cocktails. Speaking about obnoxious, does anyone recommend captain morgan black? Someone was hyping it to me but this same person likes UV cake vodka so...

Try Captain Morgan Private Stock. It's nothing like regular Captain but it's still pretty cheap and available everywhere. After too many horrible nights with Skol, this is the cheapest rum I can drink and still enjoy, which is saying a lot.

>>4558067
Vouching for this. I've had a bottle and enjoyed it. And its everywhere.

>>4557957
I like Kraken or Sailor Jerry's. I'm a cheap date.

does honey rum exist outside Latin America? had it once and it was amazing...

>>4557957
Kraken's great mixed with apple cider or as a dark rum in whatever cocktail you like.

>>4558006

Everytime I tangle with the Kracken I always have a good night, till the next day when I have a super raging hangover. Everytime is hangover time with Kracken.

>>4558888
There's a reason why my friends and I refer to Kracken as "Octopus Poison"

(yes we do know the difference between an octopus and a squid, but octopus poison flows better)

>>4558894
drink some water with your rum, goddamn.

>>4558894
There are so many different versions of the kraken, it can be whatever you want.

For straight mixing my preference goes for havana club 3 yrs old (not bacardi).

For sipping I like several different old rum preferably with a good volcanic soil.
Zacapa (Guatemala)
The Arcane (Mauritus)
among other.

As for spiced rum I prefer to make it myself using white rum from isles.

are you a cheap alcoholic? if so, try me!

>>4558922
>White rum

>>4558931
>being a snob about white rum in a thread about spiced rum

Is today bizarro day on /ck/?

mixing and cocktails bacardi or havana club
For enjoyment, try captain morgan or angostura.
Rums from barbados are often great.

I used to like bacardi 151 in my college days, but that got me in deep trouble , quick. and I like light rums to mix summer drinks, but i take it a step down. ( not aristocrat or travelers club - raw alcohol with some molasses flavor) and I seldom drink dark rum except for cooking. I like gin, and once again i like middle of the road. like gordons or gilbys( and not cheap stuff like raw alcohol with pinesol added) it seems to me a lot is market driven. once above a mid price point, it seems you are paying for advertisements. but i guess i have an unrefined palate. or alternately as p.t Barnum said, a sucker born every minuite

This is best rum

This is second best rum

I highly recommend the Ron Zacapa XO or the Ron Millonario XO.

Bothn are very tasty.

>>4559123
That is the worst spiced rum you can buy.

this and sailor jerry are my favorite rums

>>4557968
You're an idiot

I like Pusser's rum blue label mixed in a Cuba Libre or just plain coke and rum. It's spicy and peppery, but it's a bit harsh neat. It does, though, have enough of a punch to push through coke.

I also like Zaya 12 year rum because it's got a sweet caramel and vanilla flavor. It does have a woody flavor, too, which I'd assume is from being aged for 12 years. I like it in something light like a rum Collins (Rum, lime juice, simple syrup, club soda) because it doesnt exert it's flavor quite as much, allowing the lime, syrup, and soda to do their thing

I really liked this one.

Oh, I should have read the thread before.
Good taste mate!

Try Pampero Aniversario, OP

i love it

Good rum - Mount Gay
Rum for getting hammered - Sailor Jerry

>>4557957

Kraken is my rum of choice. Nicely spiced without tasting watered down (Morgan's Spiced) or being too sweet (Sailor Jerry).

Some folks say it tastes kinda medicinal when mixed with coke though. Your mileage may vary.

Not affordable for most, but still one of my first choices, when it comes to rum.

Kraken is great if you're looking to get drunk. It was our go-to rum in college.

Bacardi Oakheart's not bad. I'd probably choose Kraken over it, though.

>>4559433

Sailor Jerry's was better when I was in college -- that was before they changed sugar suppliers.

They used to be $17 bottles of rum that could easily compete with $40 bottles, now Jerry's is barely better than Captain Morgan.

>>4557957
Don't do it, OP! You have so much to live for!

There's so many good things out there you haven't experienced, things that make drinking worth the money and effort.

Like a Gosling's rum and coke, for instance.

Incredibly refreshing on a hot day.

>>4557957
Kraken and Coke is one of the easiest drinks to down of all time.
which is good and bad(not really)

I play pong with it.
I dont last too many rounds of pong

Bit off topic so sage... (Don't really think this requires new thread)
But my four roses whiskey seemed to have lost all its taste

>>4562194
Anyone know what might have caused it?

Kaniché Rum XO

>>4562147
Love me a dark and stormy. Made them around Xmas time last year with Crabbies ginger beer, needless to say I was pretty merry that year

Austrian Stroh 80. The 80 is what you think, it's 80% alcohol content. Basically it's rum-flavoured spiritus. It's actually tastes like the synthetic rum-flavouring for cakes. Pretty nice with Coke though.

>>4564015
Why would you even purchase that?

>>4564100
it burns like hell but tastes great
gets you FUCKED
