I used to make my own rum at home, and many of my friends prefered it to Bacardi. I'd keep an aging blend aside for my own consumption, but most of what I was sharing was less than a week old. I was using a reflux still, so it did come out quite pure with just a light touch of sweetness. Sometimes I would add a little sugar after distillation to make it a bit smoother, but not always, as most people were mixing it with cola anyway. Personally, I think the big commercial brands are at a disadvantage due to the quantities they produce. It would be very difficult to scale up the small batch method I was using to any sort of commercial scale without the cost becoming prohibitive, so they'll simply cheat and make an inferior product. Thanks to the loose rules, they can do what they want.

I've been a rum head since I was 15... yeah, I started a little young. I'm 50 now. I'm surprised I'm not an alcoholic. LOL! Anyway, I'm not a heavy drinker by any means. I love rum but it's more about flavor and the emotion it gives due to my memories growing up. I'm Puerto Rican and having been an avid traveler from main land to island every year, helped me create great memories with people and drink, rum being the choice spirit. I'm a MountGay rum fan. It has tons of flavor and it reminds of the rums of my youth. Rum has changed in the last 3 and a half decades and MountGay seems to have stayed the same. At least, that's the perception. LOL! I also love other rum from Puerto Rico that's hard to get state side. It's called Barrilito. All their blends, be it light or 3 star dark, is off the rails good.

When i read "Dirty little secrets" i remember my childhood in Puerto Rico, in Catano right next to Bacardi. Even from grade school (40 something years ago), they took us on tours to the distillery and told us the history not only of Rum but of the Bacardi brand. I will only remember when as a child the coolest part of the tour was to guess why they have a Bat in the label, at that moment the guides made us look up and see the bats hanging from the ceiling, above the fermenting barrels, they explained that the bat's poop was in integral part of the process. Years later, the coolest part of the tour was the end when there was an open bar for everyone facing the bay. Gorgeous place, beautiful memories. And the creepy story about the bats pooping on the rum. Cheers.

Thanks. Yeah, sitting in front of the camera by myself teaching people was less crazy and more serious. Unfortunately it never got me anything :-) The real issue is, after doing it for 11 years and realizing that most people are just going to take and never give back, it sorta makes you ask "why am I doing this?" I put in many hours of work and lots of editing for it and I really never get anything "for me" out of it. Having my friends help out and have a good time makes it more fun for me to do. And, if that sacrifices some bulk of potential subscribers... I gotta say, all they would have done is taken the content and given nothing back so it's not too huge a loss for me. Now, if it were for ego (to say "I have X number of subscribers") or something, that would be one thing. But, I barely make enough ad revenue to pay my car payment and our donations/support have not been what it used to be so... I do what I wanna do to keep me wanting to do it :-)

It does not really blow anything, the fact rums are heavily doctored are a common knowledge among the rum aficionados - it was a shock when people like Captain Jimbo started his project aimed to making hydrometer readings on many commercial rums, finding out that the highly respected Eldorado 12 contained 42 g of sugar per liter, while before, such notions were dismissed stating that the sugar comes from the barrel, etc, but that was some 10 years ago. So it's not really knew information, and the autor of the video would be polite to quote his sources, but it's slowly trickling through the more popular channels and becoming public knowledge, which is good. It will result in a pressure on the producers to provide quality product.

I love rum, that's my spirit of choice. I always assumed Bacardi "gold" was referring to the color because it's gold. I've tried quite a few rums and Bacardi Reserve (especial) is still my favirite if I just want to sip. I've never tried a light (clear) rum that I liked but darker isn't always better and flavor changes wildly across brands. I greatly dislike spiced rums, I think if you have a good quality rum you don't need the "spice", I feel like it's just covering up the taste of a shitty rum. Clear rum dies have it's place in some cocktails and such but those are mainly drinks that you don't want to add flavor to like egg nog for example (blech). Thanks for a great and informative video

Well, spiced rum isn't designed to hide a bad rum (in general), most brands have both a rum and a spiced rum. A spiced rum is to fill a category that people love and desire (esp. for rum and coke). It's really not designed to hide a crappy rum, but historically it's not unusual to "spice" your spirit because you love the fun and the recipe designs / flavors. Spiced rum, spiced whiskey (e.g. southern comfort), spiced ethanol (gin), and many others exist. People just love to do it.

People think, most rum distillers are still growing the rum they distill, that is not the case. Many times it is bulk rum being bought and they tweaked, caramelized etc. you can age your own rum in the bottle just like how you make spiced rum. There are certain recipes that will be helpful especially when it comes to balance. But once you know the elements you can make a $10US bottle of rum taste like a $500US bottle of rum. Of course also when you know how to discern the elements you can tweak it to your own palette. Once you have the knowledge you can build up from there into any alcohol.

Love your vids... I was always a beer head... but as I've aged (now an old fart), I prefer spirits... you are schooling me, big time. Gratitude. I recently discovered a real cheap vodka that even after a night of revelry, leaves the body and brain unscathed... $8 a fifth...

Rum is my favorite spirit. I'm a fan of The Kraken or Pyrat. There's no mistaking the latter when you open the bottle. The aroma is unique in a good way. Part of what I like is there are so many totally different flavor profiles. To the point you could taste two different ones and wonder if they were both even rum. The other thing is unlike certain other spirits, the booze snobs haven't driven up the price.

You are correct about Zacapa, in my opinion, on of the best rums out there. There is VERY LITTLE 23 year old rum in Z23. This from a contact at their parent company Botran, which bottles "younger" rums. It is just a trick of the trade.

I find it depends on the rum quality. They say to drink white rum because it is lower in calories although I find its garbage and you may aswell take something else. Also I prefer amber rum to dark as I find black rum to be very sweet. The brand may say something - Captain Morgan is a conventional quality rum and though its decent I like Appleton Estate more for its amber rum. There are specialty ones although amongst the main brands I would pick that one And do not get me wrong - I am aware of the fact that I probably should not buy conventional rums like Captain Morgan or Appleton and there are way better options, although even if I rarely drink it out in a bar with a poor rum selection they are all you find. They also have Fishermans Helper although that is a white rum and it may be better than Bacardi which I find the most awful of all rums although Black Seal is OK for a dark, although I don't drink dark rum often anyway

Hmm. They all have a spicy and sweet perceptance, but there is some difference.. Diplomatico: 8-12 years rums, 40ish grams of added sugars, Spanish style of rum from Venezuela Don Q: 3-12 years rums, I believe there is no added sugars, but also a Spanish style of rum, from Puerto Rico Plantation 20: Approximately 12 years old rum, probably a mix with youngers. 40ish grams of added sugars, this is however a British style from Barbados, I find it less spicy.

I think cuba has some of the best rums out there, Bacardi was a good rum back in the 40s and 50s when it was manufactured in Cuba, when Castro took over the moved the factory to Puerto Rico and they started mass production, is not what it used to be.
