Reply With QuoteTried Goslings for the first time, last month having read a number of great reviews, but found this too sweet and hints of molasses.
Much prefer these 2, however will have to try Havana 7
The best is Pussers followed by Mount Gay and Appletons.
Look up a recipe for Painkiller - preferably the original from Jost Van Dyke Soggy Dollar Bar.
PS I did a Lot of sampling in the Caribbean during the 70s and 80s then a rerun last year.
It is possible to get some bootleg on some Island beaches which has the added benefit of sending you blind - and melting the bottle it comes in...

I too am a big fan of Havana Club 7 Años, but I only have access to it when I fly abroad so I have to work with alternatives. I find Matusalem Gran Reserva 15 and Rhum Barbancourt 15 Estate Reserve to be fine substitutes, though the Barbancourt is also tough to find now. I imagine that might have something to do with the hurricane Haiti had back in 2016. I did recently pick up a bottle of Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez, but I haven't cracked into that one yet.
Currently enjoying a bourbon thing at the moment but I recently bought a bottle of ‘Cut to the Spice’ rum for my daughter/boyfriends consumption, I tried it with coke and thought or was way too much vanilla strong but if you mix it 50/50 with another spiced rum (captain Morgan/Bacardi spiced then its very nice indeed
Since reading this I have also purchased a bottle of Havna 7 rum to sample

These are the 2 I’ve got on the go just now. Both excellent with just an ice cube or 2.
Quite into Seadog from Aldi atm. We also bought a bottle of Woods 57%for xmas.

We just tried this for the first time and were surprised by how good it was for the price.
Have to say this is my favourite.... hard to obtain but well worth it.

Did you get lost on your way to the Brandy thread?
I must say I find a good backstory often smells a bit like a bull's rear end.
Thank you. Yes I did post on the wrong thread. As to your ‘kind’ last comment.....I’ll just put it down to an attempt at humour.

Enjoy your backstory.
Not really a rum drinker but enjoy a wee tot now and again we’ve just discovered Bumbu rum.
Absolutely delicious, my missus loves it too.
