Eclipse is a great mixing rum, but Mount Gay XO is a better variant for sipping neat or on ice.
El Dorado 15 is excellent too, as are Zacapa and Barbancourt. For the really funky Jamaican variety, Hampden Estate is tough to beat.
I generally avoid spiced rums, but Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple rum is worth adding to any bar.
I will keep my eye out for these that you’ve suggested, I think I’d like to try every rum, were that possible. Hey, maybe I can be one of those people who has a crazy bucket list. Instead of wondering how many different birds I can see in my lifetime, maybe I can see how many different rums I can try.
Instead of beer flights, I would use rum flights.
Oh, yeah, have I said how much I love pretty much any Plantation rum? I’ve never had a bad one. I have a Fiji from them, and it’s a lot of fun with a rum punch recipe.
