Hey any of you guys try any of these sipping rums. I like sailor jerry's to sip on but there are many more out there. I just bought some Appleton Estate Jamaican rum, it is not spiced and has more of a burn to it, i'll have to see how my palate develops, its not aged I'd like to see how that would change the flavors. any thoughts or experience?

    Search for rum in the non cigar related thread. There's a few threads in there that really make me want to buy some good rum. Only rum I've ever had are Morgan and Sailor Jerry.

    Yes there is another rum thread that may help.

    I've tried plantation nicaragua rum and it was very good. Looking for some Flor de Cana but haven't seen it yet. Ive seen Zaya recommended a lot too.

    Here are my recommendations based on what I've had. Also, if you want some good rum information send a PM to Rob1110, I have gotten a lot of great alcohol recommendations from him.

    El Dorado Demerara 15 Year Old

    Ron Zacapa XO - Good but no worth the coin, IMO. Go with the Ron Zacapa Solera 23 instead

    Zaya 12 Year Old - A good introduction to rum, however, tends to be a little sweet

    Montecristo 12

    Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

    Plantation 20 Anos

    Cruzan Single Barrel - good for sipping and mixing

    Hope these help.

    Had some Flor de Cana Anejo de Oro a couple weeks ago, liked it, and liked the price.

    I have just recently started drinking sipping Rum. The two that I have had that I really enjoyed.

    Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 Year Blended Rum - It was in a bottle that was completely covered in a woven palm leaf with a handle and cap that matched. Because of this it was really hard to judge how much was being drank and and before we knew it the bottle was empty. It was really dark and syrupy, almost to sweet.

    Havana Club 7 Year - This has been my favorite. i'm a Bourbon drinker and it was really close in flavor profile.

    I, too, am a strong advocate for Zaya. It may not be the absolute best rum in the world, but the price is very approachable and makes for a regular drink without being too hard to swallow (so to speak). Others have mentioned the Flor de Cana, also a good one. My last bottle in the States was the 18yr and it was fantastic - unquestionably a sipping rum, not one to be mixed...far too delicate.
