I've never been much of a rum drinker, but I'll admit this one looks interesting and I've never heard of it before. What's the back story on this?
Its a top end Guatemalan rum. Made from cane juice like most rums. Its then aged from 6-23 years at 1.5 miles above sea level using casks that were previously used to age whiskies, wines, sherries and cognacs. The Zacapa series of rums gets a bad rap by some rum snobs for being too sweet or not adequately labeling the age of the rums that went into it, but that doesn't bother me. I love how smooth and easy to drink it is.
What's the price on a bottle of that stuff?
If you buy it on a cruise in Mexico (where I first found it) it will be 95-100.00. If you buy it in a shop probably 120.00. If you order it online shipping will kill you.

Dad loves this stuff. He orders online, where do you find it?
I found my first bottle in a duty free shop in Mexico (Cozumel). After that I ordered it online from some place in New York I think. Shipping was ridiculous. Something like 30.00. I'm trying to nurse this bottle until I go on my cruise in the early part of next year. Will probably make the time pass by drinking Pussars (British Indes Rum) and Diplomatico assuming Venezuela doesn't go completely tits up.
I want to try pappy once. That would be all.
I sip captain dark rum when i feel a chill. Has a good burn and the aftertaste flavors are nice. Evan eggnog will be here soon lol
Buffalo Trace is good, but like Blanton's, it can be hard to find.Buffalo Trace is pretty much the same. Pappy is def good but not worth the hype. I have been enjoying Weller 12.

I've got a bottle of both on my liquor shelf, and I hate to open either one until I can find more.

My local ABC manager tells me the State ABC distribution center only ships out the Buffalo Trace 4 times a year........he said it usually sells out in a few hours after they get it!
I try to get 2 bottles at a time unless they're limiting customers to only 1.......
Side note - try Eagle Rare!! You may like it better than the Buffalo Trace.
