Best rum releases 2021 - rum of the year

General
21

After thinking one more day about this topic and checking my Lists. I must completely rewrite them :smiley:
Found out that the V&M Spirit of Art Series #1 came out in January of 2021. So there go all my Top Spots basically. Definitely into the top 3 with the Ester’s Delight and the Foursquare they brought out in their first series. Those could also get the best value-for-money-Spots (107 and 120€), but I can see that not everybody is able to get hands on such “rare” Bottles.

So my top Spot for best value for money goes to Plantation One Time Limited Trinidad. Insane quality for a 50€ Rum.

Hi,

You are right. The Plantation One Time Limited Trinidad has a fantastic P/L. Bought two bottles for 48€ each. A lot of rum for small money.

based on your favourite rums mentioned above, I have created two polls, the first is about the best rum overall, the second is about the best value for money rum, which I have limited at about 90 EUR. I have to admit, that it is a bit tricky, as some rums could be in both categories. But please bear in mind, it is just a “fun” poll. I would be happy about a large number of participants :grinning: One vote per category, the poll will run for a week until next Sunday.
