OK....so this is somewhat of a obsession with me.

Zaya Gran Reserva (not as good as it was in Guat, but still one of if not the best sipping rums)...its like Liquid Glass and has an amazingly complex flavor.

Ron Zacapa close 2nd, their select XO is amazing....but $150.00 a bottle

Atlantico GREAT inexpensive sipper.

Diplomatica....varies, but usually great.

Sorry to say, but Captain Morgans anything is like bud light to a micro or craft brew...its not a great sipping rum, its ok at best....yeah, yeah, yeah, say what you want, I have been sipping rum for 15+ years and have done my research...LOTS of it.

Score a bottle of Zaya or Zacapa and you will NEVER look back. Yeah, I am a rum snob.

Check out Ministry of Rum.
 
I used to drink a good bit of rum. I never had any appreciation of finer things though. Bacardi gold was always good enough for me.

Lately I've been on an Irish whiskey kick. I'm hooked on Tullamore Dew now.
Same - and I love Tullamore Dew. Just put down a bottle of Bushmills that I found tolerable, but not up to Dew. Tullamore Dew is awesome. I like their standard better then the select, and have not tried the Pheonix...$$
