Help me stock my new bar - Page 11

for vodka svedka is widely available, cheap, and highly rated

Yeah I was about to say. I wasn't born yesterday man, I don't necessarily drink vodka, but I have drank enough of it in the past to know that I am not purchasing Svedka to display in my home.

It performs pretty well on review sites. Imo vodka is one of those things that taste pretty similar to each other but mostly depends on marketing

If you like more sweet / caramel rum try out Ron Centenario XX anos. Not that expensive either. It's great with cola, as I've once posted.

Kinda interested in Havana Club barrel proof, anybody tried it?

I almost bought a bottle the other week. But I decided to save my booze money for BTAC and Pappy. If I do succumb to the temptation I will let you know.

Here's a decent review on it from the Rum Howler blog: http://therumhowlerblog.wordpress.com/rum-reviews/dark-rums/review-havana-club-barrel-proof-rum/

wow, seems like it really delivers. It's a few bucks cheaper than Zacapa 23 here at around $40 for either so I think I'll snag a bottle. I couldn't seem to find that Centenario with a lazy preliminary rakuten search and my neighborhood shops are a little more limited, not liquor barns. I'm thinking of getting some El Dorado too. I really like Havana Club 7 for mixing with Coke as well.

Let me know what you think when you get it. I am just starting to get into rums, and figured this bottle would be a good way to step up a notch or two.

What bottle?

This. (or a similar looking one)

I love cuban rums. Did someone say mojitos? Nice choice.
