Smallclub Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Crassou de Médeuil Très Vieux Rhum JM made in La Martinique. It's "Rhum agricole", made from the cane's juice, not the "mélasse"; it's less sweet but much more complex than Zacapa, Diplomatico and the like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planetary Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 El Dorado 21 is my standby, but I've also been enjoying the Zacapa 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypersomniac Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Zaya is my favorite so far. I haven't even see half of the ones posted before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 When we were talking about rum on Friday I remembered I had some of this at home. Has anyone ever tried this and what do you think of it. The name always reminded me of Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Zacapa and the like much sweeter - good all around drinkers. I like cognac and armagnac. I enjoy dry rum almost as much as I enjoy burnt wine. But I don't really find much similarity between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdiesel Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 These are my favorites in order: Mount Gayy (with one y, looks like it was edited otherwise) 1703 Homere Clement Cuvee El Dorado 15 (dryer than the 21) Crassous De medeuil Rhum J.M DonQ Gran Anejo However I will admit I am a sucker for The Captain Morgan in my coke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second the Clement cuvee Homere, so refined and aromatic... Been piling up Plantation offerings lately, mostly Belize and multi-island selection. Exactly what I look for in sipping rum, just the right amount of sweetness and spiciness with great complexity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I have not tried the XO but I have tried the cheaper version and spiced rums go I would place it well above the Captain Morgan Sailor Jerry varieties. Not nearly as sweet as Zaya and Zacapa. Very interested to try the XO version now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, so to be brief, when I say Cognac-like, I guess the best way I can describe it is finesse versus extraction. For me Barbancourt is certainly drier than rums like Zacapa. Maybe a dry sherry compared to a rich port. A lean mean barbera compared to a big cabernet.

My dad pulled out a bottle of this when I was over at his house last. It's hands down his favorite and after tasting I see why. So smooth with a big vanilla note on top of the darker flavors... like an alcoholic candy bar in a glass. Not sure where to get it locally; he picks his bottles up in Hawaii.

FLB03TT Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Centenario 20 is great. Full bodied, sweetish without being too sweet. Similar to Zacapa 23, but better. Pyrat XO when you want something lighter with citrus overtones. Like it with a wedge of lime. R.L. Seale's is called a navy rum, not clear on that distinction. Really nice mid body and somewhat dry. Well priced. All of the above served with a few ice cubes, por favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
