Sugarcane is crushed 3 times, to remove all the juice.

Cooked "Blue Agave" is crushed 3 times when making Tequila, the first pressing goes directly into a vat for making the best Tequila.

The 2nd and 3rd pressings go into other vats with sugar added, to make the cheaper grades of Tequila.

Your Rocky is too mild for the rum you are drinking. Try something a bit more susbtantial - Punch would be excellent, as would Montecristo - but I don't know if you live in a Cuban (cigar) free zone.

Those Punch sure are strong! Woo-hoo!

A post that had great potential has been hijacked by the "rum Nazis". So many experts on one site.

The OP was "Any other recommendations for really good Rum other than Ron Zacapa ?"

"A post that had great potential has been hijacked by the "rum Nazis". "?

I don't think so-opinion/fact/information is what I read-don't agree with all of it but I don't see anyone being a 'nazi'.

I think you're just jealous that there's so much experience here.

Not so much jealosy, I feel you are all squabling and not bearing in mind that every single poster here has their own favourite rum. I stated my choices and then sat back and watched everyone else insist that their tipple was the best. Opinions are opinions, there is not a definative fact here. As a matter of fact, when I was in rum shop Havana (not in the tourist centre) I was offered a drink of the local poison and found it to be among the smoothest spirits I have tasted. In terms of experience, that would kick most other posters up the ass. I just did not choose to brag on it, so you assume I have had no "experience" when in Cuba, Equador and Colombia?

Now if you want to talk malt whisky, that is another matter...

Forgot to add that I would still choose Lemon Hart in spite of the above.

Ian-your cramped narrow view of internet discourse is exactly what slows the free exchange of related information and ultimately kills threads.

What my learned friend Copperspoon is trying to say is that you come across as as a puffed-up arrogant tit.
The real giveaway is "I sat back and watched".

Here's 25 cents. Call someone you think'll be impressed.

Chortle, chortle.... "a puffed-up arrogant tit"

Just love that kinda talk.
