Diplomatico Ambasador Rum

[polarbear]

Had the pleasure of a glass of Diplo Ambasador the other day

Fantastic rum, easily the best (of the limited) rum i've had.

Question for all those Rum experts out there, Ambasador sells for around $300 a bottle in Aus

Is there a better rum i should look at in the same price range?

I've got a bottle of the Diplo Reserve and Zacappa 23 and enjoy them regularly but would like a special occation rum to pair with my special occation cigars

Zacapa XO?

"Maximo" from Havana Club that is a serious good rum, and seriously expensive If you can afford it, go for it, a real treat.

Edit: I just read you said same price range... well the Maximo is like a box of Diplo ambassador so... same price range lol!

Zacapa XO?

Well on a short list for you you short try Brugal 1888(sweet with a good taste of the barrel's funk. Zacapa XO is without a doubt one of the best. Havana club 15 is a great sipper as well as Selection de Meistro which is very close to the old berrel proof. Goslings family reserve is also great but way different than black seal. Centanirao 20 is great as wellfrom Costa Rica. If you can find it ElDorado makes 3 different single barrel selectionscworth a shot. The all time best to try is El Dorado 21. A great rum with dark fruit and a not overwhelming sweetness. Give them a shot or PM me if you need more ideas.
