Old Overholt rye. I like this a little better the more I have it. It's still no Pikesville, but it makes a decent 'I don't know what I want' fill in.

Rum heads... What a good rum for drinking straight, and to make a hot buttered rum? I want to get my daughter(or her boyfriend if any cops are reading :^P ) a bottle for jul to go with some hot buttered rum mix I got from Aldi. I'd also like a bottle for myself, and I'll be testing first.

So... I'm looking for a decent rum, not necessarily enthusiast quality, but something an enthusiast would enjoy drinking if offered, and isn't a sin to use with aldi hot buttered rum mix.

Nothing but coconut Bai or raspberry flavored seltzer water. I wouldn't mind a jack & coke, but I have a cold and have been taking medicine.

I would recommend Pusser's rum, Gosling's black seal, Angostura 1919 or Lamb's navy rum. I think you will find those can be drunk neat and will also mix well with either coke or ginger beer. Should be reasonably priced to.

Drinking Pussers Navy rum atm. That's a winner. Bonus is the attractive bottle. That'll make a good gift. It's gonna take me a little while to pick apart the flavors. There's more going on there than I expected. Thanks for the tip :^)

My pleasure. In my not so humble opinion. Pusser's is the best reasonably priced sipping rum available. Plus it mixes well with coke. Additionally it's a blend from two of my favourite rum producing nations trinidad & guyana.

EDIT: I don't think people think of rum in the same way that they think of whisky but it can have some very complex flavour profiles.

Got this yesterday. I was debating between this and the 80proof. I usually prefer spirits between 80 and 90 proof; maybe a bit higher for Islays. First drink is always as bottled, and I anticipated adding water. I kind of like it as-is. Haven't had a pure pot still in a long time. Tastes good

If you guys havent had the 1933 Repeal Reserve from Budweiser yet, I suggest at least trying it. Ratebeer, BeerAdvocate, etc have it rated very well. It's a limited run so I suggest at least trying it.

Funny, I went looking for that the other day at my usual liquor store, but they didn't have any cold, just in a big display, so I passed. I still want to try it.

I might try some. I'm in St. Louis so it should be fairly easy to find. I do find it interesting that they're doing a limited run on a good product.

If beer aficionados think it's good, then it's not likely to have mass appeal. And A/B won't have a really good idea how well it may sell until they've done the run. This is exactly the sort of product destined to fail... the beer snobs will turn their noses up at it, and the light beer drinkers will either ignore it or find they don't like it.

I enjoy fuller bodied North American lagers. Not very many around from the mass-producers. The Schlitz beer that came back a few years ago, purporting to be from an older recipe, is one of them, but it did poorly locally and was pulled from the area.

Not even remotely interested in giving money to a company that is actively trying to destroy any brewery they see as an up and comer unless they sell out to them.

indie bottling of a blend of demerara (guyanese) rums. 50% and far to smooth. I love it when I can see the sediment floating around in the glass. No chill filtering here.

Sediment and it looks like she has legs.

This is really good. And totally not what I was expecting. Reminds me very much of an amber ale, except with the crispness of a lager. Malty, but nicely balanced by the hops.
