Well, let me tell ya, finding the best rums in the world ain’t like pickin’ apples from a tree. It’s a whole lot harder, that’s for sure. Folks out there, they got their own tastes, you know? What one person likes, another might just spit right out. But there’s some rums, they say, that are just plain better than the rest. Heard tell they got awards and such.
Now, I ain’t no fancy rum drinker, mind you. Give me a little somethin’ to warm me up on a cold night, and I’m happy. But I hear things, you know? People talk. They say there’s this place called RumBase, and it’s got, like, ten thousand different rums listed. Ten thousand! Can you believe that? That’s more rums than I got chickens, and that’s sayin’ somethin’. They got ’em all sorted out, too. By how popular they are, their names, what people think of ’em, the kind they are, and where they’re made.
Some rums got awards, they say. Big ones, like the “Master” award. Twenty-six of ’em got that one, whatever it means. And then there’s the best of the best, the “World Champion” they call it. This year, I heard it was some rum from a place called Martinique. Trois Rivieres, somethin’ like that. Triple Millesime, they said. Sounded fancy. Said it was aged in old barrels, you know, the kind they used for whiskey and that other fancy drink, Cognac. Must be somethin’ special if it won double gold.
- Now, there’s all sorts of rums out there. Light ones, dark ones, strong ones, sweet ones. It’s enough to make your head spin, I tell ya. Some folks like the ones that taste like molasses, others like the ones that taste like spices. Me? I like a little bit of both, I reckon.
- And then there’s the price. Oh Lordy, the price! Some of these rums, they cost more than a whole cow! I ain’t payin’ that much for no drink, I tell ya. But I guess if you got the money, and you like the taste, then go for it. It ain’t my business what you do with your money.
But, back to findin’ the best. Some folks say Mount Gay rum is good. They been makin’ it for a long, long time, over three hundred years they say. Got two fancy ones, Mount Gay XO and Mount Gay 1703 Master Select, that’s what they call ’em. People say they’re real special, made with care and all that. Don’t know nothin’ ’bout that, but folks seem to like ’em.
So, how do you find the best rum? Well, that’s the million dollar question, ain’t it? I reckon you gotta try a few, see what you like. Maybe go to a fancy store, if you got one near ya. Or ask around. Find someone who knows their rum and get their opinion. But don’t just take their word for it, you know? Like I said, everyone’s got their own taste. And readin’ up on them ain’t a bad idea either. See what the big shots are sayin’, and then decide for yourself.
And don’t forget, the best rum ain’t always the most expensive one. Sometimes, a good ol’ cheap rum can be just as good as the fancy stuff. It all depends on what you like. So, go on out there, try a few different rums, and find your own best rum in the world. And don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong, ’cause it’s your taste, and that’s all that matters. And one more thing, don’t drink too much, ya hear? Rum can sneak up on ya, and then you’ll be feelin’ it the next day, that’s for sure.
Finding the “best” is a tough job, everyone’s got their own special one but if you listen to what people say and try them out, you will find what you like sooner or later. And always remember, drink responsibly, ya hear? Ain’t nothin’ good about gettin’ yourself all riled up on the rum.
Now, I gotta go feed them chickens. They’re squawkin’ up a storm, and I reckon they’re hungry. You take care now, and enjoy your rum, whatever kind it may be.
