I also love some of the rhums from Martinique, but am glad that to have the opportunity to drink many different rums, rhums and rons. Actually if I had to live in one country, I'd choose one that didn't have a rum industry since almost every rum producing country tends to favor the local spirits and it is difficult to find a variety of spirits. In Guadeloupe, for example, you can't even buy spirits made in Martinique. Variety IS the elixir of life.

I am a fan of Barbadian rums, especially Cockspur VSOR (I'd better say that the version that you get at Barbados, since Ed once mentioned that the US variety is different), but I like Mount Gay Extra Old as well. What I can remember of the Old Brigand 10 year old that I tasted there, it was a great rum as well.

But, I also like rums from many other islands. Barbados is merely at the top because that's the island where we had our honeymoon... :cool:

It would have to be either Martinique, with Nicaragua or Guatemala tying in for a close second, with Jamaica and Guyana tying in a close 3rd. Cuba would have been in the running for 1st, if they still made rums like they used to 10-15 years ago, but now their quality is but a pale shadow of what it used to be.
