Best Rums Under $30

I just tried an in-store sample of Pyrat (8-40 y/o) rum -- awesome. Incredibly smooth. My wife loved it too. I picked up a 750ml bottle for around $24. Same distillers as Patron.
 
It's been mentioned already but I've got to pipe in on the side of Pusser's Rum. That's my all-time favorite liquor to drink, preferably on the rocks. :tu
 
I have just started to enjoy Rum when I tried 10 Cane and Orinoco. I figured maybe I should try Cachaca since it is also made from Cane instead of Molasses however maybe you Rum experts can point me in the right direction..

The stress of moving and a new job has me enjoying several "night caps" every day to stop my thoughts so I can sleep. Until I get a prescription sleep aid I should throw some good Rum into the rotation with Scotch, Bourbon, Irish, and Gin... :al :tu

With your self medication... why do you need a prescription exactly? :D

Just kidding, Matt. Hope things settle down for you soon.
 
Because Ron is the Spanish term for "Rum" and... this might be self explanatory but... a lot of rums are produced in countries that are predominantly Spanish speaking.
 
Mt. Gay Eclipse or Sugar Cane rum with bitter lemon mixer is a summertime treat. Not so much with a cigar though. Makes the end a bit too juicy for my taste.

I'm a huge Havana Club Blanco Fan if I want it mixed.

Havana Club Reserva, if bought from Cuba tastes amazing straight. Everyone I know likes the 7 year old, but something about the Reserva I just like better.

See, you learn something new every day. So, Ron Zacapa = Rum of Zacapa, and there isn't anyone named Ron?

I'm sure someone, somewhere is named, Ron. :)

But in this case, rum, the spirit, you see "Ron" so much because that word almost always = RUM in the native tongue of the product's origin. Ron Matusalem = (Rum Matusalem).

The French term is Rhum. Haiti has French influence - notice their big boy is Rhum Barbancourt? Or Rhum Clement... from the island of Martinique (French again).

Ron Barcelo, Ron Zacapa, Ron Barrilito, Ron Botran. The question you might really be leaning towards is why so many rums bear the word "rum" (in their influential language) to begin their brand name? The practice does seem to be quite a bit more common with the given spirit genre.

I do not know the exact answer. Logically I could guess at (what I think might be some good reasons). The first being that many of the producing regions have their own "shines" and what most in the actual industry would label completely inferior produces that would pollute the 'professional' market. Ron - I would assume is a distinguishing term, at least to some degree.

But if you happen to find a legitimate answer - enlighten me (and perhaps us all).:tu

Oh no, you have enlightened me. I seriously thought all these brands were made by someone with the first name of Ron and wondered how that could be. I feel incredibly stupid now, but that isn't a first either:r Shows you how much foreign language I know.
