+1 on the Zacapa. Best "regularly" available sipping rum I've had. Zaya has been creeping back towards what it used to be, as well.
[Reply]

Didn't I tell you it would?
Just marginally informed supposition, of course. I'm an idjit.

I knew it would take time, but still not what it used to be, and likely won't ever be, sadly. HUGE disappointment with the dropoff when the operations were first moved. I'm not lamenting the loss of the "old" Zaya any more, though, I've just switched to Zacapa. :-)

You guys and the OLD ZAYA, must have been some good stuff.

I am starting to think this is just as slippery a slope as cigars and firearms. Jesus.

Heading this weekend to add more to my list. My problem though is I refuse to do more than 1 bottle at a time fearing if I open my bottle of Zaya I won't want to finish my bottle of Appleton Reserve.

Sigh :-)

Well went on the hunt for Ron Zacapa 23, diplomatico Exclusiva and Ron Centenario XX Anos Fundacion.

Couldn't find any of them at 8 stores. I did swing by and pick up another Zaya and Pyrat xo :-)

Ron Zacapa 23 is ordered and will arrive tomorrow, just got the call :-)


Tom I can't even find someone who can order the damn Ron C yet. Leave it up to you to suggest something out of my reach so far:-)

Yes, Ron Matusalem is very good!

I think this is what you're looking for...http://shoppersvineyard.com/store/pc...M-302p8827.htm
[Reply]

Not a bad price, either. :-)
[Reply]

No shipping into MD :-)

Gotta find it local somehow. I will find it if its the last thing I do.

First time ive seen it since i moved back to NY.:-) happy day!

I'm with Tom, Ron Centenario XX Anos Fundacion is fantastic. I like Zaya (new), but Centenario is where it's at.
[Reply]

BEYOND good, IMO!!!! Honestly, the best, smoothest rum I've ever had.

Most certainly, it is. At least it's less expensive than scotch. :-)
[Reply]

True, even the good stuff isn't priced crazy.


Well I tried the Zaya and big difference over the Appleton reserve. Appleton is now a mixer until it's gone.

Drinking Appleton and apple juice right now as I fire up the charcoal grill for burgers.

Hey Guys,

This is a newly released rum from one of my favorite brands. Has anyone tried this yet? I'm thinking I need to give it a try but so far I have not been able to pull the trigger. Since I live in Henderson, Nevada I have been buying a lot of my stuff from K&L in California. Hell, I can get 3 - 750ml bottles of whatever, shipped Fed Ex for $10.25.

looks like a winner to me, John. This guy is pretty solid on his rum reviews.
[Reply]

:-) Rum is my new scotch and you can find some really nice rums for much cheaper. at least for now.
[Reply]

If you find any locally, Pete, let me know how it is and where you got it. :-)
