Why? I'm open to your reasoning - but I would need convincing.
Because it tastes good is all.

yes thats why they're tasty
Fwiffo,
We already had 10pm closing time - sharp. No drinking up time. Out the door on the dot.
We also had limits of six people in a so-called bubble. Then it went to only people from one household. In some pubs you could ignore this, or they did not check. Some were very officious.
Both the Mount Gay XO and the Appleton 12 are certainly excellent starting points if you are looking for something pure. They are widely available and cheap.Those sugar stats affirmed that Appleton and Mount Gay is the way to go.
Foursquare is probably a good idea based on what you like, especially since the Appleton 12 not a typical Jamaica rum. You can try one of the Doorly's or the R.L. Seale's if you want something cheap from Foursquare. If you want to spend more and get something special, have a look at what's branded Foursquare or look at some of the independent bottlers.$60 for a sugar overload, no thank you. I'll keep my eyes peeled for Foursquare or Kill Devil.

i am both disgusted and strangely intrigued by this

Worthington White Shield £10 for 8 bottles in Sainsbury.
Drink the beer, swallow the tonic: White Shield, one of the few real
IT IS a British classic which has refused to fade, a Victorian ghost that haunts pubs. Now it is stalking the aisles of supermarkets, too. The name 'Worthington's White Shield' has long struck terror into bar persons, especially those who like a few drinks themselves and are a trifle susceptible...www.independent.co.uk
I have not seen this for years I thought they stopped making it.
Better value than Lidl Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger now.
its likely a hit with the ladies. the number one panty dropper was vangogh chocolate vodka. you have to play to your audience.Just in case you don't have enough sugar filled calories with your alcohol.

UK no longer goes in for returnable bottles. There used to be a deposit on pop bottles, like Corona, when I was a kid but then companies could no longer be bothered. Unlike Germany, where you could make a tidy sum collecting discarded empties. Recycling might also mean there is no longer an incentive to pay people to return their empties.Why does it have to be in a non returnable bottle? Because it's already so cheap?

interesting plantation. let us know how that turns out.
That's pretty good considering they add 15g/l to it. You should try their OFTD for mixing, it is very nice as well (and very cheap).no musty sugar hit
Thoughts on Havana Club 3YO?That's pretty good considering they add 15g/l to it. You should try their OFTD for mixing, it is very nice as well (and very cheap).

Ok I actually like my drink to taste like rum and alcohol.Way too strong for me. I find all those rums 57% above overpowering even when you mix them. At 69% that's straying into Stroh insanity.
I personally am not interested. It's what we bought as teenagers: Cheap booze to mix with coke and quickly get everybody drunk. So I haven't tried it in decades. I generally don't think Cuban rums are overly interesting.Thoughts on Havana Club 3YO?
Theakston's Old Perculiar use to be the one. Legendary as only fell walkers had ever drank it out in remote tap houses somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales and where you definitely need to stick to the path and keep off the moor:
You can get it pretty anywhere now. Unlike JW Lee's barley wine harvest ale on tap:
Harvest Ale - JW Lees
www.jwlees.co.uk
Three or four pints of that and you're in serious trouble.
I generally stay away from Cuban Rum for the same reasons - But I thought to ask if they had sipping potential. I have 2 or 3 different Caricom Rums to mix. I was happy to see that HC 3YO has very little added sugar, 0-5. I might try it - it is not much of a hit to the wallet.Ok I actually like my drink to taste like rum and alcohol.

Assuming you want something to mix which is cheap, light/unaged and low ABV, maybe try the Hampden Estate Gold from Jamaica. What I would be interested in trying is something from Haiti, either one of the Barbancourt (white, three star, maybe even five star) or one of the Clairins that Velier is selling. Those are all rather cheap but still should be good enough to taste them pure before you mix them.
My German workmate always has a bottle of Stroh. I actually look forward to drinking it with him, lol.Stroh Austrian rum is good stuff on ski holidays - better than schnapps, poire Williams, grappa etc. It has a distinctive, slightly artificial taste to it.
Not sure you're supposed to drink it like schnapps. I only know it mixed with tea as Jagertee. Which is actually very nice, just use a good black tea, maybe some rock sugar and your favorite rum.Stroh Austrian rum is good stuff on ski holidays - better than schnapps, poire Williams, grappa etc. It has a distinctive, slightly artificial taste to it.
I tried it a bit and brought some bottles from when I was working in Belgrade, it was supposed to be the good moonshine stuff. I generally like fruit brandys (or whatever they are called in English), actually like them a lot more than I am able to drink.Anywhere here drink Slivovitz?
My favourite rum is Smith & Cross and it is a blend of 6yo and 6mo rums. You need to make sure aged rums aren't labelled Solera because those like Zacapa 23 has rum between 6yo to 23yo and we don't know how much of each is in there. At least the Appleton range is nothing younger than what is stated on the bottle. That Zacapa 23 is $70-80, while the Appleton 21 is $150.I like Rum, my preference is for Jamaican Rums. I find Demerara Rums (Navy Rums) a bit heavy. I'll drink them though.
I'm turned off with this age statement shit though...has the strong whiff of marketing bullshit. Lets hope it doesn't destroy the enjoyment of Rum for the true aficionado like it has of Malt.
