Great rum holds its own against great scotch or cognac(kind of, depends). Are we speaking objectively, subjectively as a tastes thing, Or is it about the cultural aspect?

Honestly, if you like it more than scotch or cognac who cares? It gets you to the same place at the end of the day.

Unfathomably based, not only it's a noble drink that virtually requires NO pairing but it's also a VERY SWEET qnd fragrant distilled. Furthermore you don't need the oldest most aged bottles to enjoy a couple of glasses, any bottom shelf or brown bacardi will do its trick. Want to be fancy? Drink it in the rocks. Want it to be refreshing? Add coke and a fresh garnish. Hell, wanna have some fun? Throw in a couple of limes, spices and grab your shaker!
I could keep going... Rum is simply the patrician choice

I tried a rum and tonic on a whim and it was suprisingly delicious. I do prefer my rums dry and unspiced, but to each their own.

I think rum with loads of esters like good jamaican pot rum is very unique and delicious in a way not many other spirits have to offer.

Rum isn't "noble", it's the cool and relaxed one.
>ages quicker in tropical climates which keeps the cost of good aged bottles down
>doesn't have a reputation for being "manly" or sophisticated like whiskey, so idiots don't obsess over it just to feel validated
>this also keeps the cost down because it's less popular
>it's great for sipping and for mixing because the flavor profile compliments cocktails rather than working against them
>It's not a liar like vodka
>it's associated with the beach, vacations, relaxing, escapism, quiet getaways, sunsets and the sound of waves and warm summer air

Rum is the drink for having nothing to prove and being go with the flow. Don't call it shit like "noble". Noble is either about virtue or class, rum is classless and a bastard.

Don't go spreading around how good rum is. We don't want the loud whiskey fans ruining the vibes.

Overproof is best for adding a kick to a drink, usually alongside another rum. The hamilton 151 is the closest to the original lemon hart 151 (different from the current lemon hart) which was one of the rums used to make the classic zombie.

Try some other aged rums and see what flavors you like or what works better for mixing.

I'm in my 30s and drink stout when I want something light with dinner and social situations. The reason the dads drink pilsners is because it's what they drank as lads and they've been conditioned to associate it with their identity and habits. No one who tries variety of drinks defaults to pilsner only forever.

Beer isn't a royalty drink it's historically always been a commoner drink.

You're attributing ideas to beer that don't make sense to justify a worldview that was faulty enough to need the justification.

Ironically the wild west didn't drink whiskey shots and beer like in the movies, they had champagne and gin cocktails with ice and soda water to sip in their saloons. Tequila would have probably been more common with actual cowboys, especially since most were mexican anyway.

I wouldn't call rum the libertarian drink but it is an outlaw or rebel drink. It was popular during the prohibition because it was easier to smuggle over the border or in on a boat. Don the Beachcomber was a bootlegger and worked in a speakeasy, but when the prohibition ended he wanted to keep rum alive as everyone else was switching to whiskey, beer, and wine. So he started making very precise and complex rum cocktails and he kicked off the first wave of the tiki and exotica craze. He made restaurants with exotic asian and southeast island styled decor, bamboo, served basic chinese food (exotic to some at the time), and created some of the most complicated and well balanced cocktails ever, such as the zombie.
