Cuban Rum - - Page 6

I have to agree with Jaz, that the Mount Gay is good. There is one golden rum in Grenada with a green label, that I cannot remember the name, which is simply superb.

Personally my drink of preference at the moment is Pastis (Rickard - Marseilles)

Only one real problem with it, if you drink a lot, and dont then drink a good quamtity of water, you dehydrate. I can cope with that alright, but on the following morning, you not only have a reasonable hangover, but as soon as you drink some water you are drunk again!

Mount Gay is the next one to try then.

I know what you mean about pastis, I used to drink a lot of Pernod, only because it was free!

My favorite is Appleton, but I like Meyer too.

How many rum's are there.

Who can list most of the well known brands that should be available from any licensed outlet/liquor store.

And before somebody states the obvious

, I realise that in certain countries you will have local distilleries purely for local use, but I am talking major brands.

Find the Best Vodka, Rum, Whisky, Tequila, Gin, Liqueur, Cognac, Brandy, Liquor, and Cordials

A good sight to get reviews etc.

We got 1 gallon water jug filled with rum in Moron for $1.00 but you must bring your own jug.
The further you get from Marina Hemmingway the cheaper it will be.
Buck a gallon - glad to be Canadian eh!

The best place to stock is in the free zone, Colon, Panama. All manner of 'spirituous liqueurs' available. Minimum spend of $250(that was 18 months ago) but you can join with group of boats to make up order.

Fleur de Cana at $3.50 a bottle etc! No tastings so go knowing what you want. Friends stocked up and traded across the Pacific, bottles better as easier to barter with.

Cuban rum, only 'allowed' to take 10 bottles out of the country. You will be inspected each time you leave or return to your boat so hard to accumulate more.

Best rum imho Fleur de Cana followed by Appletons, all available in the free zone.
BTW most vendors will deliver to the dock at Panama Canal Yacht Club for a minimum fee.
