Proudly made in Brooklyn using genuine New York City tap water, Owney's is among the rare, yet growing number of white rums actually suitable for sipping.

With apologies to Havana Club Tres Años, I humbly submit Ron Barceló Gran Platinum as the second best rum for making daiquiris.

Rum Fire is true to its name in the obvious overproof way, but there's a lot more to this potent potable than burns the tongue.

Sunset Very Strong Rum from St. Vincent isn't for everyone, but a little mixing can go a long way with this 169-proof powerhouse.
