Going on a cruise of the western caribbean Cozumel,Belize, and Mahogany Bay) in a couple of weeks and I am wanting to get some good rum but I don't know what is good and what isn't. I know that this can be like cigars in that what you like I may not, but still what brands should I be thinking about getting?

tia,

I've heard Pusser's Dark Rum is good. It's used in a drink called a Pain Killer.

Ron del Barrilito is pretty good. The 3 star should be readily available and is ok. But the more limited stuff is awsome. There is some weird variation where you must bring back their container (like a growler) that is the best I have ever had (including cuban, guat etc.).

Don Q anjeo is ok too but pricy for what it is.

The barrilito 3 star is pretty cheap and very good. I guess they don't distill anymore and take the alcohol from baquardi (ick...don't let this fool you) then add their own ingredients and age. They have some 40+ year old rums. pretty cool operation.

there is one other brand I grab when in the carribean but I don't recall the name. I'll have to look.

Mount Gay is good rum. Pretty sweet for most people's tastes though.
