Pyrat rum
« Reply #-1 on: September 05, 2013, 01:13:25 AM »
For anyone that likes an aged extra-smooth rum, Pyrat is an excellent choice.

Besides, the bottle can be recycled for other uses.  For instance, I have a rumtopf in which I have strawberries and rum that I have had in the pot for 14 years.  Pyrat bottles make an excellent bottle to use as special containers for Christmas (or other) gifts.

Back to the rum, it is one of the smoothest I have tasted; honey, fruit, and citrus notes fill the room as you uncork the bottle.  The spirit pours like golden nectar.

I will have to seek it out and give it a try.  I do like the way the bottles look. Great idea re-using them for gifts, etc.

Thanks pz. Not a big imbiber these days (was way too good previously...  ???) But, I do enjoy  a good single malt and a nice rum. Not sure I'm ready to lay out for the 1623, but the XO sounds like it's worth a try.

I do like a good Rum. A couple of my favorites

A 15 year old Haitian Rum



A single barrel estate rum from St. Croix



Both very nice.

Pyrat is a very smooth rum ... the same folks who make Patron Tequilas make the brand.  I was lucky enough to have some of the Cask 1623 at a spirits tasting in Biloxi at the Beau Rivage Casino and it was outrageous.

When I am drinking, and not drinking beer, Sailor Jerry is my rum of choice.

Not nearly as nice or smooth, but when we were traveling the Amazon through Peru a couple years ago, we came across a "local" distillery - made and exported some Peruvian rum. We spent a couple hours touring "the operation" and sampling the rums. His house and "showroom" were up high on stilts - after sampling his rums, we had to be VERY careful walking back down the steps. These were some powerful rums. The grinder is normally operated by water buffalo, they let the girls walk it around to see what it was like. Customers arrive on the river by boat and make their purchases.

A few more pictures from the rum producer on the Amazon in Peru. Hard to believe how much Rocky has grown. The trees had beautiful pink flowers that coated the ground and smelled fantastic!

Sailor Jerry is one of my son's (and his comrades) favorites, and is very good.  I looked for the other rums you gents have recommended, but only found Kraken, and it was on sale!  Naturally I had to purchase one of those.

Surprisingly, there is an Idaho distillery that produces a very good $12 cane sugar rum:
