I think it would be pretty usefull to make a kind of grid, to classify and describe all various brand of rhum avaiable out there... Strongness / Oakness / Fruitness ect... Im not a rhum specialist but I think with a grid like this one, it would be rather easy to choose a rhum to replace another one in some recipe ( just like the Tiki rhum topic ) First we have to list the most widely used/avaible rhum : Havana Club 7 yo Havana Club White Bacardi Bacardi 8 yo Flor de cana 12 yo Mount Gay Eclipse Mount Gay ( can't remember the name ) Plantation Trinidad 1996 Plantation Barbade Angostura Appleton Estate Bacardi Bambu Rum Barcelo Bayu Barbancourt Beenleigh Bermudez Black Seal Bounty Rum Braddah Kimo's Maui Rum Brinley Gold Rum Brugal Bundaberg Cockspur Cacique Caney Captain Morgan Carupano Cavalier Coronation Khukuri XXX Rum Cortez, Ron Cortez, Panamà Coruba Cruzan Don Lorenzo Don Q El Dorado English Harbour Rum Estelar Flor de Caña Ghostship Goodwill Gosling's Green Island Havana Club Honey Rum Jolly Roger Lemon Hart Lambs Rum Macuro Malibu Rum Matusalem McDowell's No.1 Celebration Rum Mitjans Mount Gay Montilla Myers Newfoundland Screech New Grove Oak Aged Rum New Grove Plantation Rum Ocumare Old Monk Old Sam's One Barrell Panama Jack Spiced Rum Pampero Pusser's Pyrat RedRum Ronrico Ron Cortez Ron Diaz Ron Viejo de Caldas Ron Zacapa Centenario Royal Reserve Santa Teresa Santiago De Cuba Sailor Jerry Silver Kiss Rum Stroh Tanduay Varela Rum,151 proof, Panamà VooDoo Spiced Rum Wray and Nephews Zaya Feel free to complete the list, and start giving out info about them! Ill create a grid where we can write a number for each description : exemple : ........................Strongness | Color ( light to dark ) | Body Bacardi Gold......... 4......................... 5 ........................ 5 Bacardi 8...............7 .........................8..........................7 Hope you get the point, and like the idea! EDIT : This probly can be done with gin, vodka, whiskey ect...
