Is Rum's the most noble drink nowadays?

I wouldn't know. I don't drink alcohol.
why, are you muslim?
Alcohol isn't my vice, nicotine is.
too bad for your blood preasure.
A man of refined tastes, just like me
Great rum holds its own against great scotch or cognac(kind of, depends). Are we speaking objectively, subjectively as a tastes thing, Or is it about the cultural aspect?
Honestly, if you like it more than scotch or cognac who cares? It gets you to the same place at the end of the day.
its more of a modest / fashion wave.
>Brown Rum
Unfathomably based, not only it's a noble drink that virtually requires NO pairing but it's also a VERY SWEET qnd fragrant distilled. Furthermore you don't need the oldest most aged bottles to enjoy a couple of glasses, any bottom shelf or brown bacardi will do its trick. Want to be fancy? Drink it in the rocks. Want it to be refreshing? Add coke and a fresh garnish. Hell, wanna have some fun? Throw in a couple of limes, spices and grab your shaker!
I could keep going... Rum is simply the patrician choice
I tried a rum and tonic on a whim and it was suprisingly delicious. I do prefer my rums dry and unspiced, but to each their own.
I think rum with loads of esters like good jamaican pot rum is very unique and delicious in a way not many other spirits have to offer.
>Hampden
what a noble gantleman, I only hope you drank it neat.
I may have added a little water to drop the abv a little, but nothing more than that.
>holds its own
Pyrat has always been a very solid choice for high quality booze. Rum is so great because it can be good on its own or mixed and doesn't care about the seasons like other hard drinks do.
Always has been.
Stop talking about rum, moron. I don't want it to become a reddit trend and the price to inflate the way it happened with bourbon
rum is safe from that because there is no mystique for the outsiders to mistake as sexyness
Already did. Prices are unironically crazier than whisky atm.
liquor is commoner garbage.
beer is royalty drink.
once you reach your 30s you'll learn why all the older german dads drink pilsners.
older german dads drink soymilk and vote for the greens
Germany is not even a real country
the art of rum is older than Germany
Germany has been dead as a nation of a century. There is not a single ‘german’ left alive whose opinion is even remotely relevant
I'm in my 30s and drink stout when I want something light with dinner and social situations. The reason the dads drink pilsners is because it's what they drank as lads and they've been conditioned to associate it with their identity and habits. No one who tries variety of drinks defaults to pilsner only forever.
Beer isn't a royalty drink it's historically always been a commoner drink.
You're attributing ideas to beer that don't make sense to justify a worldview that was faulty enough to need the justification.

Anyone try pisco?
Whatever you consume and whichever way you hold yourself-
Nothings noble when browsing this shithole. Don’t kid yourself, everyone here is society’s non-burnable trash.
Get of Culinaly and go to bed Jhonny
just got the from my travels
it truly is the richest and tastiest rum out there
try this one next time you visit duty free. x10 more rich
tried both, you're wrong
you're either lying or have a terribly shite plebian taste one can only imagine. comparing these two is like comparing a pile of puke with a nectare. Appleton 12 is miles above and ahead in all dimensions possible.
you getting this butthurt over this just ruined any argument you could've made. all someone had to do was say "ur rong" and you threw a verbal tempy tantroom...
no, Ive tried both of those. AE12 is literally better. older, properly aged for 12 years. 43 ABV instead of 40. and has a way better distillate itself. and if you cant hold some batner go back to l1ddit, gaymunch.
He's right though... It boils my fricking blood stream seeing dumbasses compare good quality bottles with your 5 bucks "distilleds". Fricking monkeys I swear...
look at this half informed ape spazzing out like a child, even displaying his incompetence when it comes to rum since he's not aware of the fact that brugal is one of the few examples of latin rum that are dry and not sweet af.
literally jump in front of a train, it will make your parents happy.
>Oh yeah I want my brown rum to not be sweet and fragrant
I'm sorry you have shit taste, might wanna go back to beer chud
Wait, what? Dry rum is way better and doesn't give you the beetus.
no one argues about dry or sweet rum, moron, Brugal Extra Viejo is just bad, really cheap and bad, as well as your plebian taste.
You're going crazy or are just a moron. I never mentioned shit about Brugal. I posted the hampden bottle, you donkey.
what a plebian taste
Best cheapest spiced rum is Blackheart. Change my mind.
What do you mean by "noble"? Do you mean "high status" or "morally righteous"?
Flor de Caña any good?
relatively good. depends what is good or bad for you.
The less tangy, sharp and harsh it is the best, my opinion is that a good rum never bites, it should always have a rounded taste that covers the entire palate even drunk warm. If you do the simpsons lemon meme while drinking rum, then that's a bad rum.
then is a pretty good one, I've tried the 12yo version. this site https://rumratings.com/ is pretty usefull btw
pardonne moi then noble sir. Im a moron anyway.
im gonna force a turd down your mom's throat and sew her mouth shut you fricking geek
Out of the way, tastelets
>Real McCoy
Rum isn't "noble", it's the cool and relaxed one.
>ages quicker in tropical climates which keeps the cost of good aged bottles down
>doesn't have a reputation for being "manly" or sophisticated like whiskey, so idiots don't obsess over it just to feel validated
>this also keeps the cost down because it's less popular
>it's great for sipping and for mixing because the flavor profile compliments wienertails rather than working against them
>It's not a liar like vodka
>it's associated with the beach, vacations, relaxing, escapism, quiet getaways, sunsets and the sound of waves and warm summer air
Rum is the drink for having nothing to prove and being go with the flow. Don't call it shit like "noble". Noble is either about virtue or class, rum is classless and a bastard.
Don't go spreading around how good rum is. We don't want the loud whiskey fans ruining the vibes.
>ages quicker in tropical climates which keeps the cost of good aged bottles down
not really. the angels share is way greater because of the same reason. besides, luts of the rum makers use that israelitey method called "solera", fooling inexperienced rum enthusiasts.
It's still a factor. What some companies do doesn't change the nature of it compared to whiskey.
There's literally nothing wrong with solera aging. Take your pointless gatekeeping bullshit to your overpriced, overhyped, trash whiskey thread.
Rum is the drink of libertarians.
Pirates, american revolutionaries, and the wild west.
Ironically the wild west didn't drink whiskey shots and beer like in the movies, they had champagne and gin wienertails with ice and soda water to sip in their saloons. Tequila would have probably been more common with actual cowboys, especially since most were mexican anyway.
I wouldn't call rum the libertarian drink but it is an outlaw or rebel drink. It was popular during the prohibition because it was easier to smuggle over the border or in on a boat. Don the Beachcomber was a bootlegger and worked in a speakeasy, but when the prohibition ended he wanted to keep rum alive as everyone else was switching to whiskey, beer, and wine. So he started making very precise and complex rum wienertails and he kicked off the first wave of the tiki and exotica craze. He made restaurants with exotic asian and southeast island styled decor, bamboo, served basic chinese food (exotic to some at the time), and created some of the most complicated and well balanced wienertails ever, such as the zombie.
I'm a simple simple man...
Yes you are.
I'll try it out, see if I can start "expanding my horizons" as some of you scene homosexuals say nowadays
yeah bro, you need to expand your horizons.
151 is overproof rums, what are you using this rum for? Sipping or mixing?
Both to be honest..
Overproof is best for adding a kick to a drink, usually alongside another rum. The hamilton 151 is the closest to the original lemon hart 151 (different from the current lemon hart) which was one of the rums used to make the classic zombie.
Try some other aged rums and see what flavors you like or what works better for mixing.
didn't think they still made 151
They don't. Bacardi was getting tired of being sued too many times from morons fricking up lighting their drinks on fire.
bacardi carta oro gold is really nice. Just about finished a bottle of that, although I bought a 1L bottle of Havana Club especial to replace it since it was on sale, not sure I like it as much but it's not a big difference.
they're pretty similar, same range.
People sleep on rum as much as they sleep on brandy. Shit is drinkable at its cheapest and delicious at mid-tier prices.
The trick is they sleep because they had so much and it's comfy. Then they forget and the secret of how good rum is stays hidden a little longer.
this ones good for the price
