Happy National Rum Day! Let's See Your Rum...
National Run Day falls on August 16 every year—that's right, a whole day dedicated to the celebration of rum. After whiskey and the vodkas, rum is the third most popular spirit in America. With that in mind, there are plenty of people out there to enjoy this holiday to the fullest.
No one quite knows just who started National Rum Day, but they do understand the slogan. "Make every day rum day" is the name of the game. If you're not quite feeling up to that, though, you should at least spend August 16 with an appreciative drink in hand. https://uproxx.com/life/best-dark-ru...ional-rum-day/

Really? Damn it...sipping on Jameson right now. Rum is fairly new to me and I discovered it last summer. I really enjoy it, but have not had anything too fancy yet. Plantation, Real McCoy, etc.

I'm a Brugal Anejo man myself, but I may have returned to the US with a few bottles of Cuban made Havana Club. It comes in a close second
The demon rum has made me do some VERY bad things, but boy do I love it! |

I enjoy Mount Gay and OJ. I didn’t know it was rum day. Went with a martini tonight.

I’m not especially fond of rum but my Dad and my Aunt knew the family in Cuba that made Ron Matusalem before the revolution. I still remember their favorite drink, a Cuba Libre...
Still remember the old bottle of 15 or more y.o. rum. It also graced our Christmas fruit cakes too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I don't see much point in splashing out silly money on rum - Havana Club 7 is a perfect all rounder.

Does it get you drunk? If yes, good. If no, bad.

That surprises me. I thought Tequila or Cognac would be the third. I've never seen my acquaintances drinking Rum, while I've seen them with Whisky, Cognac, Vodka, Tequila, Gin, Italian Amari, and even Absinthe. |

Is this even any good? If I’m going to actually drink some I don’t want it to be not good rum. Then I’ll probably never try it again . Pretty sure we got it as a gift. I know i didn't buy it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
