peros

Thanks for the replies folks - will try to scout a good rum shop if I find one will post a review here. I think I'll pick up a nice Barcelo Anniversario and a Bermudez Don Armando. I'm hoping that due to the proximity of Haiti I might be able to score some Barbancourt 15 yr old too.

What is the general difference, in taste, between Rums that have as their source ingredients either: 1. Fresh Cane Juice 2. Cane Syrup 3. Molasses I personally prefer the rums that run a bit on the sweeter and smoother side. p.s. since I live in Canada and can only get what the LCBO deems fit - anyone know a good source for Pampero or Zacapa here? Or is a trip across the border neccessary?

So this my first post int his forum as I am only begining my journey into this wonderful world of rum-dom!! Anyhow my question: I will be in Playa Dorada, Puerto Plata, Domincan Republic in August. Being a lover of fine rum and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good store that carries rum (preferably both Dominican and other countries) - and of course any brands that I should look out for. I'm hoping to find a store that carries rums from other islands too - so I can indulge. Thanks.
