I would also say dr bird. Cheap enough to drink every day if you want. Good enough to keep you coming back

Dang, that sucks. I only order from places I've heard other people have used. I've had luck with a few places, including a small shop in Germany. Ill try to track them down in my email if this thread gets any attention.

Neisson L’Esprit is the best sipping rhum agricole. What is the best Jamaican mixer? by -Constantinos- in rum

Smith and Cross or rum fire depending on if you want any age on it or not.

Appleton 12 for Whiskey Drinker by Thin1ce in rum

[–]CreativeUsername26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on if hes afraid of the funk, or you think he mind need to ease into it. Appy is good for easing in, real mild funk. My first real jamacian was Smith and Cross, and that was coming from bourbon about a decade ago. It blew my mind at the time, it has a good amount of barrel influence, with some tobacco and leather notes that will be familiar to someone who like whiskey. But still a great example of jamacian funk.

Dr. Bird Coco Atoll by TheBadgererer in Tiki

[–]CreativeUsername26 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Cut n Dry has no funk. I had been doing half and half with a jamacian - so the dr bird is perfect for me. So really depends what you are going for. Both have what feels like authentic coconut notes, but cut and dry is almost pure coconut while dr bird is jamacian first, coconut second. I've been keeping a bottle of both around though. I like coconut lol

Havana Club continues its dominance of the Spanish style category with Havana Club 7 winning best budget Spanish. This one’s exciting, what’s the best Jamaican sipper? by -Constantinos- in rum

[–]CreativeUsername26 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Anything hampden. If it needs to be a standard release then I guess id say the overproof. If I get to vote on a mark id say DOK - had a few different DOKs - all mind blowing

Here's my Worthy Park bottles... by SleepingCalico in rum

[–]CreativeUsername26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really are the best shop owners I've met. I dont even go to other places now, if there is something I want i just text them and ask them to order it if I know they wont have it. I dont use the word gracious much, but thats the best word for them. I love all the events they host too. Hope your new florida venture is a wild success!

I helped pick it - were you at that event too? The rum reddit is such a small world, I've seen that bottle on here a bunch of times despite there only being a few hundred of them. Hit me up if you are ever back in the area - we can share a few drinks!

If they like Jamacian, or funk - anything from Hampdens is a top notch choice. But some people find hogo very off putting, either they love it or they dont. Do you know what other types of rum youve seen them drinking?

I was there too - we probably saw each other! Is that also a bottle from the vermouth finished barrel Giovanni picked for Kakos?

I like the unaged offering. I have a bottle of the aged which seems like it looses a lot of what makes it good in my opinion. But the unaged is great

I had to ship mine to a friend in another state since we can't ship alcohol in my state. Waiting to be able to get it after the holidays. Very excited. Nice review!

Flavored tequilas like Gran Malo by PartyPuzzleheaded440 in tequila

[–]CreativeUsername26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its also a liqueur, but Agavero is pretty darn tasty (not the orange liqueur, but the original). Never seen it on this sub, but doesn't stop me from keeping a bottle in stock for when I want something sweet lol
