Very popular in the Canary Islands, nice stuff.

 

[cHodAX]

Brugal and Havana Dark are ok I guess, do prefer the mixed stuff though like Sailor Jerry before they fucked up the recipe.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Rum is horrible

Rum is horrible

It's not the best I agree, certainly not on par with a half decent vodka. The more expensive brands are alright though and the flavoured stuff is pretty quaffable.

Havana Club. Like any good anti-capitalist.

Wouldn't drink Bacardi unless you paid me. I'm not greedy - I wouldn't expect much, but some form of payment would have to ensue


Oh, and excellent Lamp

Pisshead!

Havana Club. Like any good anti-capitalist.

Very rarely drink rum (makes me a fightin' drunk) but Havana Club would be the one I do drink. In a mojito.

Rum and coke is awesome too, almost better then the whisky mixes.

 

[CorNokZ]

Morgan with coke..


















Could also mix with cola, but that is a bit weird imo

 

[Angrist]

Ron millonario a bit expensive but taste damn good!

koh phangan full moon party? Possibly, don't remember I was so pissed last time I went (last year). Think they put any thai whiskeys and rums in buckets because they're cheap (no import tax of course).

However I do like about 80% SangSom, 20% of coke, some ice, little bit of lime filled to the top in a tumbler. Dunno how many shots, 3-5 I guess? Every weekend, it's cheap, nice and all the stress goes away after 5-6

Nasty hang overs though and memory loss if you drink too much. Gin and Tequila are the worse for me, fighting booze

 

[Gahn]

Santa Teresa and Zacapa are sure the better ones imo

 

[Billargh]

Got to be the old one though! But since that shit is impossible to get a hold of these days, Lamb's Spiced will suffice
