Looking at them in the $70-120 range for a gift for a friend that’s a rum aficionado.

Not sure where you can find it. The last bottle I got came from overseas but you can have it shipped here.

 

One thing I’m learning about alcohol is that it’s up to the individual. Ask the person, through casual conversation, their preferences.

 

Spend less and buy Prichard's

 

Thought about that but he has several bottles of that.

Last time he broke something from 2002 and I forgot to snap a pic of it.

We have a pretty big liquor store in town, I’ll swing by there and see what they have.

 

@Captain Morgan expertise needed

 

I am partial to Barbancourt from Haiti. Their five year is nice as a day to day drink. The 15 year is really lovely stuff.

 

Best bang for the buck: Cruzan Single Barrel, about $30

You can look at the Pusser's 15 year

Diplomatica Reserva. Venezuelan aged rum. Good for sippin'. Maybe a single ice cube in the heat just to change the fluid temp.

Cheers,

Dave

 

As Dave mentioned above, the Diplomatico is a solid winner. If he is already a rum fan there's a goo chance he's tried it or has a bottle. My recommendation look into FourSquare, I have yet to be disappointed also give Plantation 20th anniversary a look.

 

Richland Rum is a Georgia product and is quite tasty to me.

 

Paging Mark151....

 

Something with a pirate on the bottle ought to be good......or, old reliable here.

 

Self quote needed.

 

Then there’s Ron de Jeremy rum. The rum so good it drinks itself...

 

I been all over a lot of high end rums.

Ron Zacapa XO all day.
