Rum for sipping... not guzzling
Brandy , Armagnac, etc left me a while ago.
In my latter years, I have taken to sipping a rum as a digestif .
No more Cuba Libras during the day, an easy tipple for me...........beer & wine.
Nonetheless, a little sip after dinner makes the pillow softer some days.
I have long been a lover of Zacapa (23 yr old)
It has been my 'Go To' rum..... not cheap
Lately, I have become adventurous.... perhaps suicidal.... in trying new ones.
Barcelo Imperial - nope
I got looped into a bottle of UNIQ XO..... 500ml for 3,000 pesos
A malt rum.... suckered by the $$$ I guess.
Not bad but still missing, IMO
Always being a pigeon for price, I ran across a deal at Nacional........
Brugal Leyenda... on sale for 900 pesos
EXCELLENT !!!!!
Knocks the socks off the others, for me.
I have tested it - blind tests after dinner, men & women
All concur.
Give it a try...
You won't be disappointed.
Sweet, smooth.....delicious
I managed to coax my local man down a bit.
I see it many places for 1,000 (700ml)
Still, a long way from my 3,000 for 500ml.....
I avoid the word 'Cheap'
but I am 'Value Conscious' .....
and made right here in RD.... as is the UNIQ
