Picked up some new rums on vacation

[mickblueeyes]

Picked up some new rum on vacation in Memphis that I couldn't find here in town. Anyone tell me about these?

Bacardi Anejo

Bacardi 1873 Solera

Doorly's XO

Plantation 7 yr

[Bolivar Petit Corona]

I really like the Bacardi Añejo, which I have only found in Florida. It's a blend of rums from, iIrc, 2 to 8 years old.

That is strange Bolivar. Bacardi Anejo is one of the few Rums that seem to always be in stock here in Alaska.

As a side note it is also the Rum that got me started on my search for better rum to begin with.

I have had the 1873 Solera before though I honestly don't remember much about it as I bought and drank it on a Vegas trip

There is some information on these rums on the Rum Profiler on my site.

Anejo is my favorite Bacardi rum.

Doorly's XO tastes like a light whisky on the rocks, the final aging is done in Sherry casks at the distillery in Barbados.

Just got back from Aruba. Stopped at the Duty Free kiosk upon arrival in Aruba and picked up a liter of Mt Gay Extra Old for $22 (which lasted us most of our visit). At the Duty Free on the way home picked up (all 750ML)

Flor De Cana Centenario $14.80

Flor De Cana Gran Reserva $11.85

Mt Gay Extra Old $15.50

Appleton Estate Extra $14.75

Haven't had an Flor De Cana before, but am looking forward to it based on other members comments. They also had the 5 year old FDC for less than $10. They were selling Zacapa for $46, I am still having a tough time getting past the $30/bottle barrier.

Based on the Flor De Cana label, it is imported into the U.S., if so, I have never seen it!

Got my local store to stock this now.

Flora de Cana are avalilable in Florida and Cailifornia ( at least ) and are rather good . I used to work at a shrimp hatchery in the Florida Keys and we flew flights down to Honduras 2 or 3 times a week, we used to have the pilots pick up the 4 yr Flora de Cana for around $4 a litre ! I once got a bottle of Flora de Cana Centenario 21 in the blue bottle with gold leaf lettering ...that was some tasty stuff indeed !!

Yes, Florida is a rum lover's dream, so far as the uS market is concerned, bc so many of the distributors are in, or around Miami.
