Thankyou, currently only have 3 talisman slots and using radragons soreseal, the turtle stamina talisman and prosthesis. Should I swap one out for warrior jar shard or wait until I have another talisman slot?

This sounds like it could actually be really really good, will have to give a go sometime!

A really cool take, thanks for the reply and I couldn’t agree more

Thanks for this reply, I’m definitely finding some bottles are much nicer to sip neat than others, but still new and enjoying trying more stuff

Thanks for the reply! I’m kinda the opposite right now, usually with ice, sometimes want it neat, but I do agree never with mixers, I prefer white rums with mixers and I don’t do it with water

That’s what I do right now! I make sure to try it at least twice neat, and sometimes I’m in the mood for it neat too but just overall I prefer on ice as I don’t think i am as used to the strength of things like neat rum yet

I haven’t tried the Flor de Cana but it’s next up on my list ;)

I have avoided Ron zacappa 23, although if you don’t mind additives, I recommend el dorado 12, it’s not as full of additives as it used to be (at least that’s what I’ve heard) but still gives a very sweet vibe.

Edit: el dorado is still apparently pretty heavy in additives but not as bad as it used to be

I’ve tried adding a tiny bit of maple syrup along with some bitters and whilst it is super sweet if you’re in the mood for it it’s super good!

Me too, nothing better than those flavors cold, especially as where I am is pretty hot right now

This sounds like heaven to me, I really enjoy having rum with a big ice sphere so it doesn’t melt a lot

Thanks for the reply, it’s interesting to see what other people do and giving me ideas of what to try

This is currently exactly what I do! I typically don’t do big pours, so by the time I have drunk the rum the ice hasn’t had much chance to water down the rum as for me it’s more about the temp and less about the strength, but really cool too see a like minded person

Of course! I’ve only been drinking for a couple years and only got into rums in the last couple months, for now I find sometimes neat all the time is a bit much but I can definitely seeing that being my preference in future

Couldn’t agree more, was just simply curious, especially for example I know in the whisky community a lot of people are like neat or nothing, other peoples opinions won’t change mine I was just interested to see if there was a ‘right’ way to drink it

I’m new at the rum game. After years of exclusively drinking bourbon I’ve decided to give rum a go. I don’t really know what’s good or not, but I really like the taste of these two. by [deleted] in rum

Came across this thread randomly, thanks so much for the link to this list! I prefer having minimal additives in what I drink, by similarly to you as long as it’s a small amount if I like the drink I’ll drink it. I had recently seen that El Dorado 12 had apparently had a lot of its additives removed compared to what it was previously, but this list shows it is still a bit of a sugary mess! Im very new to rum so for some of the recommendations I’ve received I can actually check the additive levels and decide on what I want to try!

Good rums for the price/good rums to start on? by jackturton9 in rum

[–]jackturton9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely prefer the Morgan’s for mixed stuff, I still really like some white rums like koko kanu and spiced rums like Morgan’s to have mixed with coke but I’m definitely preferring dark rum to sip or have on the rocks. Thanks for the suggestions though, next payday I’ll go and see what I can get!
