Rum

[Jimi007]

No never. Seen posters for Mount Gay rum but, never seen it on sale either.

I've seen Mount Gay Rum here. Actually just bought a box of it. I've only found 700 ml bottles though.

The name just puts me off

LOL! Maybe you have an issue? But Mount Gay Rum has been around since 1703, a bit before homophobia! They are also a long time sponsor of yacht racing.

yes I understand this but go into a bar full of bikies or mma fighters and ask for a mount gay and lemonade and see what reaction you get. Id prefer to drink sang som even though it tastes like gow ha

I imagine that if they stock it, you'd probably be given a glass of Mount Gay Rum and lemonade....

Its just a drink.

^^^^ I think it was tongue in cheek mate and posted in a humourous manner.....

If you hadn't pointed that out, I never would have known.

(speaking of tongue in cheek... )

So where did you get the rum from ?

I was a long time Bacardi drinker back in farangland, but it's horrible here. I drink it straight, no ice or mixers, and normally it, and rum in general, is sweet. But the Bacardi here comes from India, and has a used sweat socks kinda taste to it. Not easy (or even worth it) to get used to.

So I've been drinking the Sang Som lately. It's okay tasting if you drink it straight, and actually mixes well with Coke. But as it's not exactly a 'refined' liquor, and it kicks your ass big time if you drink too much of it. Fortunately, the days of drinking too much of anything are well behind me now! But for the price, which I think is around ฿260 a bottle, it's not too bad taste-wise. (ymmv of course... )

I've tried the Havana Club before, and I wasn't overly impressed with it. Maybe I got the cheaper stuff, which I didn't know there were different variations as Jimi says, and that's why. And I've tried the Captain Morgan, and even the Bunderburg rum, and none of them impressed me either. For bang for the baht I'll stick with Sang Som for now, at least until I find something better tasting.

I think it's pretty good too. I remember drinking a premium aged version (I think it was in a blue box) but haven't seen it for years now. Anyone seen it around recently?

I have a bottle of Pyrat Rum!
