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.

I agree with Sailor’s if you use the original, not the new recipe. As an alternative after dinner sipper try Bundaberg Rum’s Royal Liqueur
