Nope, it's not a commonly seen brand. I love Brugal though, the Anejo and 1888 editions are splendid. About 12 years ago my sister-in-law brought me a small bottle of a limited edition back from the Brugal distillery in the Dominican. Best rum I've ever tasted.

Lots of Canadians head to Dominican Republic and its pretty much considered bad form not to bring back some Brugal.

 

I'm not a big rum drinker but have a co-worker who loves his rum and when we go out he'll often pick out a rum and we drink it neat and I find it quite good- they are upscale ones like 7 yrs + so they have a smoothness. 

 

Got completely smashed on holidays about 20 years ago on lime diaqries or however you spell it; pretty sure I had temporary type 2 diabetes for a few days after. Sun stroke as well. Mate I was with looked like a lobster.

I’ve been drinking Kraken with ginger beer. It’s good, but gives me a bad spicy stomach the day after.

 

Also, it has to be ginger beer as it is a huge letdown with ginger ale.

Yeah no arguments from me. 

First proper rum I had. Had some Indian rum(old Monk) loved it. Came back home bought a bottle of mount gay and realise how fucking rough the Indian rim was

That Old Monk is rough as fuck. Mount Gay is boss though.

Just broken in to the chrimbo rum. My word this is nice, Clive. Neat with a slice of lime motherfucker.

Sainsburys?

Chrimbo gift for me, which is a right treat as I had to be dry last Christmas. Just had one, going to have another before heading to bed. Oh and leaving one for Santa.

In laws have just given me a bottle of Lamb's Navy Rum for the 3rd Christmas in a row. I know I shouldn't complain about a gift but a little variety wouldn't go amiss.

Never seen it, might have to get some just to see my name on a bottle of rum.

I’ve still got half a bottle of the original recipe Sailor Jerry’s, lovely stuff. I treat myself every now and then.

 

The new recipe is an abomination.

Had this delivered today, thanks @Lee909

I need to buy a bottle of dark rum for a customer, about £80ish. Any recommendations? 

[Barrington Womble]

I've just had a nice little touch of this one. It's pretty decent to sip, but sure it would make a nicer cocktail.

Lovely thanks.  
 

If any you ever buy a few million meters I shall buy you one too.

No worries. Someone will probably have a better option than me, but I'd be made up with either of them.

I appreciate the help. I know nothing about spirits as never drink them.

Isn't the sex enough?

A cooling drink on a warm day, a warming drink on a cool day!

I do like some straight rum on the rocks of an evening. 
 

Morning rum bum is a real thing, however.

Theres a new Rum bar opening up the road from me in Helston. Now I can imagine it working in hipster London or a massive trendy city like Truro or Falmouth but a one horse town like Helston seems a bit of a push.

I'm 40 now i feel like I should lay off the WKD blue and have a decanter of something on my sideboard where I could pour a glass in the evening, sit back and swirl the glass, clink the ice, contemplate the day in a dim lit room, if I weren't a former smoker light a cigar and tell my missus she's looking a little chunky on the hips.

 

I dont like whisky.
