rum is rum, imo, darker rum isn't harder, it's just more.... molassessy? For sipping it's less harsh than the white rum people like to put in fruity drinks. You might try to find a reputable rum tasting while you're down there :) I like a cuba libre with nice dark rum, a wedge of lime, and lots of ice. Super sweet, super rich. So freaking good.

Looks like this might be the one you're after.



Check the pics at the website - this stuff is the color of week-old coffee.... Looks damned fine to me

Old Rum | Gosling's Rum

They are even good enough to provide mixing suggestions:

While our Gold Rum and our flagship Black Seal Rum are also produced in limited quantities, our Old Rum is downright scarce.

The perfect Old Rum recipe:


  • 1 oz. – blah, blah, blah
  • ½ tsp. – blah, blah
  • 2 oz. – blah, blah, blah
Our point? Old Rum is built to savour as it is poured. Add ice if you must, but nothing else other than a little eager anticipation.

That looks mighty yummy alright.

The one that turned me onto rum is Venezuelan Anniversario. The perks of oilpatch friends who work overseas. :)

Eagle, be sure and ask for a drink called "The Dark And Stormy". It's made from ginger beer and rum, among other things....:smile:

Oh that sounds heavenly.

That's not going to fly with the customs agents. They are some tough cookies!

Now, bribe them with the bottle of rum and you may have a shot.

I'll just hit them over the head with it. The bottle will be empty of course...why waste good rum?;)
