Barcardi Limon is not necessarily top rated by connoisseurs, but when it's cold it's very tasty, fun and easy to drink on a hot day or afternoon.

this recommendation comes from our member Fred Loeb, he says the best rum he has ever tasted comes from Brazil and is titled Crystal Cachara. If anyone get their hands on some don't forget to leave a review.

I have to do a shout out for Zaya. Zaya is an excellent Guatamalan rum which is becoming a little difficult to find. It is wonderful for both sipping alone or as a mixer.

Havana Club 7 year
Lambs Navy Rum is nice, but I wouldnt call it premium.

The Cruzan Single Barrel Estate is nice. Was enjoying it at a tequila bar a few weeks back...

I am very new to rum, but I do love Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum.

Another rum I like is 'Ron Barrilito' de 4 Estrellas. Ok the name of the rum is 'Ron Barrilito'. The second part denotes the level of smoothness. 'Estrella' means star. So the more stars the better it is. You can find just about anywhere 2 & 3 stars however, I've only seen 4 stars sold on the island. Sitting at the the ocean smoking a stogie and drinking 'Ron Barrilito' de 4 Estrellas is heavenly. ;-)

Have you ever tried Pyrat? It is one of my favorite rums, and should definitely be on your list. Give it a try sometime.

Well, on my boat I'll have Captain Morgan Tattoo myself. It's great either straight up, on the rocks, or with coke. I just picked up a bottle today and it is better than I thought it would be. Has a nice raspberry flavor with a spicy kick to it in the finish. Great to smoke with too if you don't mind a little burning sensation. lol

My favorite rums are as follows....

Pyrat XO Reserve...I'm still looking to try the Pyrat Cask 23, but at $200+ a bottle...I can wait.
Ron Anejo Aniversario. Comes in a little leather pouch.
10 Cane
El Dorado 21, 15, and 12 year old....I haven't had the 25 Year Old but look foward to it.
Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 Year Old Rum

But for everyday cheap rum...it's the Captain.

I agree with everything but the Captain. As far as I'm concerned he can jump ship at the next port. The private stock from the captain is decent though... So his grandfather can take his place on the crew.

I wanted to ask your opinion of 10 cane. I am more a fan of dark rum and 10 Cane always interested me. The reviews I found were pretty varied.
