Rum Newbie

[mcdee]

Cheers Alex, that's more than enough recommendations there for me to work on!

Plus one on the Ron Zacapa 23. Lovely stuff.

There so many good ones bur there's an awful load of horrid stuff too. Usually need to spend over ?30 a bottle for the nice sipping rums.

I bought this the other day (rum newbie myself), was lush! Available on amazon Bumbu Rum 70cl https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01K519W..._pHIJEbW2NWXF720200405_153023.jpg

Bumbu was my recommendation too, see page 1

It is a great rum in it’s price range in my humble opinion

Well I thought great minds and all that. Just because it was based on my recommendation I take no responsibility for resultant alcohol consumption if you’re enjoying it a little too much.

I'm a scotch man and that goes down quite well, but rum is lethal. Drank a third of a bottle with ease.

Thread resurrection...

It’s a bit more than ?20 but bumbu is a good place to start I think

I've never been a big drinker of dark spirits and purchased a bottle of No.7 in Cuba last year and it's pretty much taken all year to drink as was a bit harsh for my taste-buds.

However, I've taken a punt on a bottle of this Bumbu and it's absolutely delicious !!! The banana flavour literally slapped me in the face when I opened the bottle.

This is unlikely to last the week let alone a year I love the cork 'pop' you get too. Very well recommended.

If you get given Lambs Navy Spiced Rum (like I was recently) do yourself a favour and pour it straight down the sink. Disgusting stuff. 😵

Hah - I’m guessing a lot of the supermarket rums aren’t the best tasting.

This could be another slippery slope !!!

I’m glad you like it, it’s a very good drink and although slightly more than £20 it’s well worth it in my opinion and in the world of “premium” rums is very well priced.

I think it’s a bargain for £30 if I’m honest with you. Six beers down my local cost the same amount and I know what I’d rather have with a cigar.

Will look to check some others out too.

Ha! My Dad poured me one of those which I nearly spat out! I wouldn't mind but I'd taken a bottle of Havana Club 7 there with me.

Almost finished it and bloody £38 on Amazon now !!!

Try some Rumbullion. Available in your local supermarket for £35 and Amazon £32. Lovely flavours with a banana nose.
Mine's evaporating at an alarming rate and infinitely nicer than the drain cleaner cheaper rums.
I might have to get a bottle of Diplomatico just to slow the consumption down.
