rum

It depends how you are going to drink it. With Coke and ice, I think just Brugal Carta Dorada is very good.
I dont think Barcelo mixed with Coke is any good.

I have to say I really love Brugal - we bring some back every time we go, that and coffee lol! But I'm no connosieur of rum as I don't like any other. I remember the first time I went to DR and came back in rum mood and went out for a meal and asked for a rum and coke and it was disgusting! Unfortunately we can't get Brugal here so it means we have to visit DR as often as possible - not the best excuse for a holiday but it works for us!

Has anyone tried the Brugal Siglo de Oro, It comes in a porcelain bottle?

Siglo de Oro is by far the best you can buy.......it comes around once per year, and is guaranteed to be at least 100 yrs old.....and yes it comes in a porcelain bottle....I just bought 6 bottles and dam is it good......and you don´t mix this with coke or anything else, if you do, you waste some good rum, when you can buy a bottle for 100 pesos for mixing

Barcelo Imperial. Por favor. -- Sam

I agree that it is somehow a "crime" to mix good rum with Coca-Cola !!!

After spending 2 weeks in Haiti enjoying Barbancourt sundowner almost everyday, I had yesterday 2 regular Barceló añejo on the rocks, and I woke up today with a headache !!! That's the price to pay when one drinks cheap rum !
(I never ever had a headache after drinking Barbancourt )

siglo de oro is a mixture of rums and nothing in the batch is 100 years old.

So what IS the big deal with the BLUE bottle? Is it worth the $53USD they were charging in the duty free at the airport? I bought a bottle of Barcelo Imperial...and have a decent supply here....gotta admit I'm a big fan of RED LABEL n coke......Brugal uhhhhh (not so much)

Ideally, though Pyrat Pistol Rum.....it's smoooooooooth.
