There's also Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum to try. I believe it is cheaper than Captain Morgan which I haven't tried so I have no comparison.

stronger too

1 bottle vodka, 11 bottles of water.

Lol, nope real deal stuff. Quite smooth I must say

I actually like Sailor Jerry's better than Captains. I swear Captains used to be better, and I think they must have taken a bunch of money out of the production process and spent it on all their recent marketing campaigns (which are actually pretty well done).

But if we are talking about cheap delicious spice rum, that whole conversation starts and ends with Old Monk. The 3rd largest selling rum in the entire world.

You have never heard of it, for two reasons; there is not a single piece of marketing or advertising done, and it is produced in India.

I understand it is available in other countries, but I have only had it in India. Was one of the few brights spots of my time there.

Unfortunately they don't even sell the stuff at the airport on your way out.

I heard it can be found around Van. I know serious rum drinkers who love the stuff. Give it a try.

Another spiced rum to try, which is stronger (47%) but more expensive is Kraken. Comes in a cool bottle:

I've got another vote for Iceberg too. I pick it up once in a while. It's cheap and pretty good as well. Produced using water from icebergs harvested off the coast of Newfoundland.

"Won the 2006-2007 Golden Icon Award for Best Vodka; the Golden Icon Awards are presented annually by Travolta Family Entertainment. In 1998, the Beverage Tasting Institute gave Iceberg a 'superlative' score of 94 out of 100, ranking it second behind the acclaimed Grey Goose in a blind taste test of the world's best vodkas."

i come in here to casually talk about vodka and i come out learning the existence of alternative spiced rum. now i'm going to have to try some of these this weekend.

:drunk:

ever since the price of cap'n morgan's spiced went up a few dollars i've been looking for an alternative. i'll try sailor jerry's thanks.

i think i'm going to have to try kraken just for the bottle.

If you ever come across a rum called "Screech Rum" pick up a bottle. By far some of the best of premium rums I've ever had. Distilled in Jamaica, bottled in Nova Scotia I believe. You can find it ta the liquor store at Lansdowne Mall.

drink that straight? cost?
