I need a rum recommendation

[JohnnyWayne203]

I've had Diplomatico Rum a few times. It is probably my favorite rum, but it's a little on the sweet side.
Any rum drinkers able to recommend a rum with similar flavor profiles to Diplomatico, but not as sweet?

 

[Toothpick]

Don’t think I’ve had Diplomatico. But this is my favorite

Plantation XO

 

[Multum in parvo]

Malteco 10y or 15y from Guatemala - same distillery as Zacapa

 

[JohnnyWayne203]

I will keep an eye out for both of these, thanks guys

Actually, I came here to recommend Diplomatico.

Myers rum is what my family as always used for all rum purposes.
Shots or mixed drinks, doesn't matter.

 

[McBlade]

I recommend you drink rum.

lol well I do enjoy the flavors of Diplomatico, the sweetness is a tad too much for me though.

Never had Myers, I'll see if it's stocked

@DrStrange
How does Myers compare to bacardi?
Bacardi and sprite was a drink I enjoyed for years. Sometimes with a lime wedge

I like Flor de Cana, but please note that I am no rum connoisseur.

My favorite, which I first encountered in PR, but I think you can find it in the 50 states now. A+

Myers dark is more strongly flavored.

Screech.

It's a moderately dark rum, with good flavour and moderate sweetness. White oak aged so it has a vanilla nose. It's also inexpensive.

When I want to drink rum, I reach for Screech.

O.H.

My favorite as well. I like the 7 year, but hold no grudge against the other ages at all, hehe.

Rum is not my first choice of poison, but I really like the 12 yo Dictador.

Good stuff especially the 20y!

 

[Zorac]

I actually like the 12yo better, but to each his own!

 

[JCarr]

Diplimatico Reserva is excellent.

I use rum almost exclusively for daiquiris. My favorite (and a great value) is this Flor de Cana. I’s not too sweet .
