Rhum Chart

[Axefire]

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

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...

Hm I'm not sure it's that simple, but I could be wrong.

i make alot of carribbean drinks and i seem to need very few rums to do it...

cruzan/flor de cana

wray nephews 126

mt gay

bacardi 8

st. james amber

goslings old

lemonheart 151

i seem to get everything i want out of all of them. i kinda gave up on everything else. i'd like to replace mt gay with something more affordable. and i used to be a pompero freak but lately i get everything i need out of goslings old and lemonheart 151...

i have a small group of girls that work for the cheese cake factory asking for a blend of rums... they call it that "tropical drink" on their break.

1.5 oz. wray newphews 126

.5 oz. goslings old

1 oz. tart granadilla juice

1 oz. grenadine

grate nutmeg from grenada...

humorously my other staff memebers who hate to measure drinks have never dared free pour it... i think they are scared of having a bunch of chease cake factory girls mad at them... it probably has the same alcohol content of a classic margarita... but i can get the intensity i want from the non alcoholic parts without sacrificing the adultness.... when i'm not slammed and i make this style of two rum drink for myself i float the dark rum on top... and probably use lemonheart 151...
