The best Dominican rhum is Barceló Imperial... But the best rhum of the island is Barbancourt 5 stars !!!

Among Dominicans, Brugal Extra Viejo is very popular. Among people with experience drinking other alcoholic beverages-whiskey (bourbon or Scotch)- Barceló Imperial (at RD$579 a bottle) is often preferred. Bermúdez Aniversario is also quoted as being a fine drink.
Recently (last year or so) Siboney Red Label is getting some play.
For mixed drinks-Cuba Libres and Daiqueries-you can use almost anything--except 151 proof!!! FGS!!
Use of 151 proof: Core a pinapple and fill the core with 151. Repeat. Put the pinapple (cut up) into your fruit punch....Watch the fun!!!

Had some Brugal Anejo this weekend with Coke.

I did not like at all!!!

I agree that Siboney Red Label is quite all right for a decent price... You can drink it on the rocks with a bit of lime, the way one does with the Barbancourt... I would say it's the best quality/price deal...

Best rum I have EVER had, like sipping a fine whiskey: Barbancourt 5-Star 15 year old Special Reserve. Simply awesome, but expensive and hard to come by.

I LOVE Siboney Red Label as an outstanding overall rum.

Bermudez Anniversario is one the best I've ever tasted and the best I've had on the Island so far. and for Appx. RD$400 a bottle it's a great deal.

Barcelo is the best dominican rum in my books.

If you can find Barcel Imperial 21 Anniversary Rum it is by far the best Domincan Rum. It comes in a tin and costs about 1500RD if you can find it.

You can mistake it for a fine Cognac if you put it in a snifter.
