Local liquor store had both the Ron Zacapa 23Yr and Ron Zacapa XO rum on sale, so I bought one of each. The XO is the best rum I have ever tasted. :-)

I've been very happy with the 23. Near as I can tell it's the best rum I can get with little trouble. Thanks for the tip on the XO. I'll keep an eye out for it.

What's the price point?

NICE haul. I need to get some of that Zaya. Are you drinking straight or mixed?

Most of them neat. The sangsom is a bit sharp (to me) for drinking by itself. It's great with some Coke plus it was dirt cheap in Thailand (around $7-8)

My wife picked this up for me this past week in Nassau, Not distributed outside of the Bahamas at this time. This is the oldest aged they currently offer, at 5 years old (I believe that's the length of time they have need making rum). I've got two different rums open right now, so this one goes on the shelve for the future.

I'm more of a whiskey drinker, and not so picky about it, but I've tried some of the nice rums mentioned in this thread and loved them. Now I have a list of more to try. Oh great, another slope.
Gotta figure how to present this to my wife, is all.

At least rum is quite a bit cheaper than whiskey :-)

It can be...... But then again, some good, aged rums can cost as much as good bourbons!

I liked Zaya a lot when I first tried it. I was my favorite sippin spirit for a while. Someone just brought me a bottle this weekend and I thought something was wrong with it. It was harsh, thin, medicine flavored and rougher than cheap vodka. I looked it up to see if it has changed and found this article... http://www.therumcollective.com/2015...anks-fall.html.
It seems there is a bottle and blend change. If you can't find the smooth sided bottles I wouldn't buy it. Anyone else noticed this?

Roger, from what I understand, Zaya changed their blend a few years back, and possibly switched the country in which it's produced. Definitely inferior to the old blend, too much artifical vanilla flavor now. Disappointing, I prefer Zacapa over it now.

Yeah, Tom, they changed it from Guatemala to Trinidad before I even tried it the first time. I liked the Trinidad version, and when I got a taste of the older blend I thought it tasted like Zacapa Solera which I also like a lot. This new change is something else. I'm going to use the rest of the bottle for mixing or cooking and never buy it again. It is not sippable.

Oops, the one I was thinking of was Diplomatico. Slight difference in name there.

Yeah a Dictator doesn't use a lot of Diplomatico :-)
