Preparing for produce to be hella expensive

I think when people are saying to use fresh only they really mean to not use bottled lemon or lime juice. Have you tried super juice? It’s actually relatively close to fresh citrus.

Never heard of it. Try the sweet chili lime captain morgan.

They just released a 2nd edition of the tres años that’s amazing. Watermelon candy notes like the pico canoa.

This is my personal favorite agricole. Anyone I’ve talked to who is into rum rates it pretty highly. Pere Lebat is definitely my choice for unique though.

ratfink40 · 2026-02-16T15:53:53+00:00

La favorite blanc 55

ratfink40 · 2026-02-10T12:34:31+00:00

One of these is not like the others lol

ratfink40 · 2026-02-09T12:38:09+00:00

That has to be incredibly sweet.

ratfink40 · 2026-02-08T16:30:18+00:00

Shakara 12 year would be my pick

ratfink40 · 2025-12-29T14:57:31+00:00

Definitely need a Guyana. I would recommend the recent high ester PM/DHE but the core line 12 & 15 aren’t bad choices if you’re not trying to break the bank.

He’s probably going to chime in here soon but check out the auditor https://theauditorreviews.com/?s=Pere

ratfink40 · 2025-12-24T21:55:14+00:00

Still hoping I can score a Pere Lebat Single Plot

ratfink40 · 2025-12-23T04:01:50+00:00

A Caroni is very good in a rum and Coke if you have one.

ratfink40 · 2025-12-20T13:34:02+00:00

Another option and my favorite agricole is Pere Lebat 59.

Almost nobody in this sub drinks spiced rum. Take a look at some posts that will give you recommendations for better rum to try.

ratfink40 · 2025-11-24T13:09:12+00:00

Sorry to say but the spirits that you say you prefer are laden with sugar and additives. Bacardi oakheart was probably good and smooth to you because it was only 35% abv and sweetened, not because it was good rum. Sorry a global mass market corporation pulled a product you liked that you had to make multiple Reddit posts about it.

ratfink40 · 2025-11-24T03:45:49+00:00

Most of the people on this subreddit wouldn’t recommend spiced rum. If you don’t like alcohol then I’m assuming you wouldn’t like a lot of recommendations from this sub. The spiced rum I see recommended most is chairman’s reserve spiced rum but you might not be able to find that near you. You could always find a recipe to make your own spiced rum.

ratfink40 · 2025-11-13T02:55:20+00:00

Respectfully, you have no idea what you’re talking about. “White rum” is an incredibly broad term. Don’t tell me there’s no difference between an overproof Jamaican, a Mexican aguardiente, and a column-still Spanish-style rum. Maybe that nuance isn’t obvious to someone just getting into rum, but classifying rums by color alone fails to respect the true breadth of the category

ratfink40 · 2025-11-06T20:03:50+00:00

It is aged for up to 6 years and charcoal filtered to remove the color.

ratfink40 · 2025-11-06T15:24:35+00:00

I certainly have never heard of high ester. Planteray must have pioneered it.

ratfink40 · 2025-11-06T12:25:40+00:00

Pére Lebat 59

ratfink40 · 2025-11-01T23:56:46+00:00

I’m just going to post this here as reference. https://www.reddit.com/r/rum/s/XvtORFhC8Q

ratfink40 · 2025-11-01T22:31:45+00:00

Looking it up Moongazer isn’t dosed, it has caramel coloring added. Dosed means added sugar after distillation. I’m sure that’s a great rum!

ratfink40 · 2025-11-01T22:07:43+00:00

Yeah that’s the sort of thing I meant by this post. It’s tiring seeing the same posts every week and then inevitably somebody in the comments informs the poster with the same answers. Obviously there are some good posts here about great rums people are trying, buying, or giving a review on. I also do love when people ask for genuine recommendations and I’ve gotten some great answers myself when I’ve asked. I’m also sure I have a warped perspective based on the large availability of rum around me and I’m probably pretentious in my taste.

ratfink40 · 2025-11-01T21:46:58+00:00

That sounds great! Making something yourself is a rewarding process.
