How to get started with Rum

RumDood has posted the first of a new series called Rum101, in his post he covers his idea of the best rum in all categories.

White Rum – Flor de Cana Extra Dry

Gold Rum – Mount Gay Eclipse / Appleton Estate V/X

Spiced Rum – Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum

Aged Rum – Appleton Estate 12 Year Old

Definitely a very nice selection of rums to get your home bar started. I don’t think I’d change anything in his list, he does suggest Mount Gay Extra Old as a runner up in the Aged category, and that is my current favourite rum.

Be sure to read the post at RumDood.

    Bought a bottle of appleton estate whilst traveling in Jamaica, wish I had bought a crate, was very very smooth.

    Thanks for your comment.

    It is a very nice rum! I would heartily recommend Mount Gay Extra Old if you haven’t tried it yet.
