Not a rum drinker, but a friend got a bottle of this Peruvian rum recently, and I couldn't put it down. Good enough to sway me away from my single malts. About $120 bottle. Not sure how it stacks up against other pricier rums, but it's fantastic.

Define fancy and I guess it also depends on your budget.

I prefer the amber rums over the dark or spiced and as a last resort would drink a white rum. I have a preference for the Appleton 12 year old for reasonable price range.

I'm not particularly but lately its becoming a bit of a thing. It's wonderful on the water especially when its a bit chilly. But any place that grows sugar cane will produce a rum, just depends what flavors you like in it. I gave my mate a bottle of Mount Gay, Extra Old (I wonder if he's sipping it straight ) but I was given a bottle of Fijian honey rum for Christmas which is really nice although I don't think you can buy that from the BCLC.

I'm sure it's very good, but that's a bit pricey for me to take a punt on, at least at first.

I'm thinking somewhere around around the region of your basic single malt - $40 to $60 maybe.

Which this is - I'll look out for it next time I'm at the offy.

The same producer Ron Millonario also has a 15yr old that sells for $50. Haven't tried it yet, but if it's even half as good as the XO then it'll be a winner. Picking a bottle up when it's back in stock at my liquor store.

Love Mount Gay rum (extra old) - a friend of my son from Barbados came to stay with us a few years back and bought me a bottle of it.. wonderful stuff!

I like Guyanan rum, made from cane grown along the Demerara River. It's a matter of taste and there are so many choices now..... except for Demerara rums. In Sask the only one is good old Lemon Hart, (they took London Dock off the list), so when I come back from BC I bring a few bottles of Young's Old Sam, which is full of flavour. I like Cuban, Nicaraguan, Dominican, (not bought Jamaican for a decade, tastes change).. Cockspur and Screech, (like Old Sam bottled by the Newfoundland Liquor Co.) are perfectly acceptable pirate rums. Don't touch anything they make out of sugar-beets in Alberta, not the rum, vodka, and especially not the Slivovitcz. The Jamaican overproof Wray & Nephew (the green bottle) belongs under the sink with the cleansers, (I have a scar). Stroh is wonderfull, overproof, one drop on your tongue tastes like a rum & butter candy bar. My friend brought it from Europe via duty free, said that's what the old Nazis put in their tea. I have to look in one of the specialty stores to see if it's available.
ps: There's a pretty good Rum Ratings app; like the Delectables wine app you can just aim it at a label in the store and it will conjure up reviews;

This thread started off a bit rummy but has now exceeded expectations.

I think it had a bit more fizz before.
