I have purchased Bacardi 175 liter bottles at Costco for $999
Comment from : Jim Klemens

There are so many rums and I have so little shelf-space So many I haven't had a chance to try yet but I can make all the rum cocktails I need with three rums For Daiquiri's and Piña Coladas I use Plantation 3 Stars For dark Tiki drinks like Mai Tais, Jungle Birds, and Painkillers I usually do a 50/50 mix of Appleton Estate 12 and Pusser's Gunpowder Proof

When will Americans pronounce Bacardí right?
Comment from : Joey L

Ah Plantation The rum that presents itself as bartender friendly but is willing to screw over it's business partners and a foreign country's tradition of making rum just for profit
Comment from : John Go

flor de cana or havana club are the best budjet rums in my experience mutch better than bacardi but similarly priced
Comment from : Atticus Wilson

For some unknown reason to me, Americans don't get to have the best rums available worldwide I don't know why and feel sorry for you Americans :(
Comment from : Éxitos Tropicales

What about Matusalem Gran Reserva 23???
Comment from : Antonio Gonzalez

Kill Devil Rum
Comment from : Eric & Jess Cunningham

i personally prefer the (illegal in the US) havana club 3 year over the bacardi, is the US version of havana club that different?
Comment from : Crack Cobaine

Hamilton Pot Still Black also makes great rum drinks

What are the 5 best budget tequilas including reposado
Comment from : reload7x1

What's crazy is that I was at a friend of mine's vacation home, and he has a little bar near the kitchen I decided I wanted to make a daiquiri because I had never made one or actually tried one before The only non-flavored rum he had was Bacardi Superior, so I begrudgingly made it with that I was very surprised at how great that cocktail was I never thought that such a cheap rum could make such a good daiquiri
Comment from : Vortex1988

Early on you included Plantation 3Star in your list of Workhorse Spirits (with Old Overholt, beefeater, Evan 100, Famous Grousw Banknote, Tullamore Dew and Destillador 99 proof) Are you backing away from 3 Star, or does it not play on a Daiquiri for you
Comment from : Andrew Yarosh

I really like Plantation three star, but they need to hurry up and change the name, as I'm not actively going to purchase a relic of chattel slavery
Comment from : Michael

Try Siesta Key Rum!
Comment from : Jennifer Miller

I got the Plantation 2009 Fiji, 2011 Barbados, 2007 Barbados 🥳😋
Comment from : Albert

It’s really hard to choose just 5 But one of the ones I’ve heard a lot of people say makes their favorite classic daiquiri is Probitas There is also a pineapple Dr Bird now and I grabbed a bottle to make a daiquiri but haven’t yet I believe it’s also upped to 114 proof Denizen White is also a great workhorse with enough complexity I’ve seen that Saison but didn’t know what it was
Comment from : Kevin Clark

Love worthy Park 109 as a topper must try Dr bird!
Comment from : Sam

In the past, I would have said dr bird in a daiquiri is insane, but you've made me a daiquiri with dr bird and it was incredible cheers! d
Comment from : tapeseltule

Appleton 12 Rhum clement
Comment from : jon schor

I can find Flor De Cana Extra Seco locally, so I keep that around for Daiquiris and Mojitos It's not quite as affordable as the Bacardi, but still nowhere near bank breaking
Comment from : Christopher Reed

Was gonna say pineapple plantation, u where 1 step ahead of me 🤣
Comment from : johnnyll91

no way in hell you put bacardi instead of plantation 3 star, this has gotta be a paid promotion or something lol
Comment from : Yebm

In Canada we have the pleasure to have access to the Havana Club rums, the 3 year white is just perfect for Daiquiris (and great Mojitos too) The 7 year is said to be great for Daiquiris as well
Comment from : drax14QC

honorable mention to the Rhum Agcicoles of Martinique! brBIG twist on that Daq, BABY!!! brSalut!
Comment from : Loud n Brown

Flor de Caña 4 extra seco is, for me, far superior to Bacardi, even considering the low price of Bacardi Bacardi is essentially as close to vodka that a rum can be It’s not bad, but it doesn’t really shine either If you want a wall flower, go with the Bacardi If you want something that’s not going to dominate your daiquiri but still have some character, go with Flor de Caña (they’re very similar in price too)
Comment from : James Newell

Never use Bacardi with your Daiquiri It is only good for Rum and coke Use a decent rum like Plantation 3 stars or Flor de Caña 4
Comment from : Rio

Good picks! Probitas is definitely on my list And in Oregon, Doctor Bird is $38 and Stiggins is $44 Consider yourself lucky!
Comment from : Jeff Selby

Plantation 5 is also budget beauty 👍🏽
Comment from : Jose De La Cruz

I used to always have the appleton great one for sure More costly in Canada but now living in America yummy
Comment from : Driving With Jake

Bacardi being on this list is the most measurable evidence of Marius' influence on the backbar
Comment from : Jordan Jones

Ooft love me some rums, was hoping you'd show us your rum collection after the Saturday livestream In the UK Bacardi Carta Blanca is 375brbrAppleton is absolutely excellent and nice and cheap Mount Gay Bermudan rum is also a great staple cheap rum
Comment from : SanIchiban

How strange A friend brought Doctor Bird to a rum tasting I held and we all agreed it was one of the worst things we had ever tasted Basically undrinkable Tasted like butterscotch and grain alcohol I guess I'll try it in a daquiri and see how that goes
Comment from : Aaron Sulla

Clèment Canne Bleue or Clairin Communal if you wanna make it a bit funky, Havana 3 to keep it classic
Comment from : Joshua Marcocchi

Paranubes makes for an ahhhhmaaaaazing daiquiri 🙌
Comment from : Khrys Maxwell

my favorite is Probitas, super flavorful
Comment from : Art Irony

Such a great video! I would enjoy videos similar for other classic cocktails
Comment from : Topaz Phoenix

Appleton Estate for the win!! If I could only have one rum for my home bar (which would be a rather dark and depressing situation), it would be Appleton Estate signature
Comment from : Teddy Danielson

Ah love a good Daiquiri! In the UK I like to use Havana Club
Comment from : Julia Pietro

You recently made a video with the tiger balm cocktail You used Dominican rum brugal Would you recommend that rum as well for a daiquiri?
Comment from : reload7x1

Another great production by the masters You guys put together some of my favorite content Thank you for all that you guys dobrbrWith that said, I know you put together this list with a decent price point in mind I understand but I if I would create a list I would go for a different angle DeliciousnessbrbrHere’s my list:brbrSmith & CrossbrPlantation Stiggins’ PineapplebrAppleton EstatesbrPlantation 3 Star brPlantation Isle of FijibrbrThese bottles are what I grab whenever someone asks for a Daiquiri These flavors of rum just produce some banger straight up sippers I love love love the Pineapple Stiggins’ that is one tasty bit of goodness
Comment from : Jose Fausto

Dang, no daiquiri recipe in the description?
Comment from : Evan Hayes

My most recent favorite daiquiri rum is Uruapan Charanda! Sugar cane juice distillate from Mexico, crazy funky and leathery, but just as tropical and fruity It’d be somewhere in between the daiquiri with Saison and the Daiquiri with Doctor Bird in flavor profile Highly recommend!
Comment from : Nick Luna

Have you done any reviews of brugal rums
Comment from : Adam

Feel like probitas needs to be on the list IMO it makes the best daiquiri
Comment from : Henry Burchett

I love the Plantation Pineapple and Appleton Estate 12 year in my Daiquiri Also the Plantation OFTD makes an awesome Nuclear Daiquiri!! Personally I prefer the 2, 3/4, 3/4 ratio
Comment from : Darren and Tina Sale

All fantastic rum choices Banks 5 has become my go to Some real nice tropical notes in there Also, a split-base of Probitas and Denizen makes a very interesting Daiquiri
Comment from : Eli Menaker

Add me to the list of Bacardi rum haters Best use for Bacardi white is to disinfect your garbage disposal Probitas, El Dorado 3, Plantation 3 star, Flor de Cana 4 yr and of course, Havana Club 3 are my go-to picks And all of these are good for use in a Mojito
Comment from : John Nilles

I'm glad you gave Bacardi white label rum its propers It's perfect for classic daiquiris, probably because it was designed to be a rum for classic daiquiris If I owned a downtown dive bar, for happy hour, I bet I could serve two-ounce-build daiquiris made with Bacardi for $750 each
Comment from : Bob

would like to see all these Daiquiris in comparison to each other visually Probably I can't get all these rums to do it right away
Comment from : Miika Kontio

Love rum videos, always looking to expand my collection Nothing against tiki but there is so much to rum beyond that genre
Comment from : DJ Wolfson

No probitas I love that rum!! Cheers
Comment from : Max Grenett

If you can get your hands on a bottle, I highly recommend Hidden Harbor White Rum from Maggie's Farm Distillery in Pittsburgh for daiquiris
Comment from : MogWV

Foursquare Probitas/Veritas (US/Europe) makes my favorite Daiquiri
Comment from : Cyber Kender

no havanna 🤯
Comment from : Lorfii

Surprised to not see an agricole/cane juice rum here!
Comment from : Gabe Bennett

Leandro, Those are some really good rums I will have to see if I can find the Saison & the Doctor Bird
Comment from : Booze On The Rocks

I was pleasantly surprised by Castille rum I payed $10 for a 750ml bottle and I actually enjoyed the taste a lot more than Bacardi Pairing it with lemon juice instead of lime juice is also a great combo for this rum
Comment from : Joshua TheAwesome

I don't know if they're a sponsor of this videobut ANY discerning rum drinker knows that Bacardi "Superior" is straight-up GARBAGE It just is and to not acknowledge that is doing a dis-service to the viewer
Comment from : Scott Baron

No Havana Club 3???
Comment from : Admiral Stiffplank

My favorite daiquiri rums are (in order) 1) Barbancourt white or; 2) Cana Brava (unfortunately no longer made or; 3) Flor de Cana Preferred ingredient ratio is 2 parts rum/1 part lime/1 part granulated demerara/raw cane sugar mix (1 part demerara/4 parts raw cane sugar) stirred into juice in mixing tin Shake with cracked ice and strain into frozen coupe This is a mix of Phil Ward's preferred recipe in the Death & Co cocktail book and Beachbum Barry's daiquiri sugar blend The Barbancourt rum is a light agricole style rum that has a subtle rum and floral taste in a daiquiri and doesn't overpower the lime I'll use Jamaican rums on occasion, mainly if I am showing friends how important the choice of rum is in a daiquiri Personally I find them overpowering in such a light, balanced drinkbrFor an interesting twist, try adding 1/8( +/-) ounce of mezcal to your daiquiri recipe
Comment from : J M

THANK YOU! I’ve been building my rum stock and appreciate this list
Comment from : Gary Hovey

My boy left out the Smith & Cross Thinking Dr Bird has a similar profile But never had it
Comment from : David Florian

When i was in Ireland this summer i found a Plantation Pineapple finished in Teeling Blackpitts Peated barrels Quite an interesting one
Comment from : Daniel

Bacardi Silver just tastes like vodka
Comment from : Will Pittman

Yea, Bacardi def not for me, the Sasion sounds very interesting! The Old Stiggin’s is great, do a Daiquiri half with that and half with a Coconutoil fat washed light rum and you got yourself a Pina Colada style DaiquiribrDaiquiri KING still for me def is the Veritas/Probitas! Tastewise aswell as its giving me the 40+ proof
Comment from : MM_Carsten

I love using Flor de Cana 4 yr Seco in my daiquiri it gives a nice dryness tangy feel to the flavour but going to enjoy trying some of these others you suggested 😃
Comment from : Erez Bar

I have been liking a mix of 15 oz plantation pineapple and 5 oz Smith and Cross in my daiquiris The S&C brings a little funk without getting crazy
Comment from : John P

Hello a doubt, will the applenton state 8 years reserve work the same or better for the daiquiri than the signature? brGreetings from Panamà
Comment from : Fernando De Frias

Honestly, for me personally, I am a huge fan of Cruzan Light Aged Cheaper than Bacardi (in my area at least), and 10x better (again my opinion) It's my workhorse white rum and makes GREAT daiquiris
Comment from : Dillon McGraw

I miss the videos where Leandro and Marius talk on-camera and go off on weird tangents That was one of my favorite aspects of this show
Comment from : Will IB

I love Rum My favorite spirit by far However, when I am looking for a simple rum for a nothing fancy Daiquiri or a rum and coke, my goto is Don Q I think it is a far better and easier to drink rum than Bacardi and works really well in cocktails About 2 years ago I found Diplomatico Rum Reserva Exclusiva It is an awesome rum to sip on I would not make a cocktail out of it because it tastes just too damn good The product information on it has me salivating as I read it and it lives up to all of thisbrVenezuela- A complex blend with aromas of fruit cake, cocoa and spices such as cinnamon, clove and dried ginger Beautiful baked banana flavor with notes of fudge, toffee and vanilla oak, mingling well into gingerbread and orange zest Voted spirit of the year 2018 from Wine Enthusiast
Comment from : Greg

Try out Hamilton white rum It was designed to be perfect for daiquiris
Comment from : Whats Gucci Vespucci

Oh I was hoping to see Leandro mixing and drinking five cocktails and watch the rum evolve and his mood :D
Comment from : FVB

Santa Teresa from Venezuela makes an extremely good daiquiri for me!
Comment from : Mine

Dr Bird is spectacular!! It isn't easy to find here in Vancouver but it's so worth it!! I love the funk!! 🙂 I enjoy the Appleton Estate so much Leondro!! Great choices! Terrific video!! Happy Tuesday!! 🙂
Comment from : Christine Camley

My go to is Probitas, gives me a little of everything that I like in a daiquiri without being too heavy handed But I do also put Dr Bird, Stiggens Fancy and Appleton in rotation And Foursquare And Don Q And El Dorado
Comment from : J C

I’m a rum aficionado I always have, at least, a dozen bottles of various rums on hand One of my faves is inexpensive…Gosling’s Gold Seal Rum Ron deal Barrilito 3 Star (prices in the US mainland is sometimes double the price in Puerto Rico, however), Havana Club 7 (pick it up when I travel outside the US—Each traveler can bring back 5 liter bottles) and Real McCoy
Comment from : MR

I love using a split base 175:025 of light rum and young Rhum Agricole in my daiquiri For me adds just the right amount of funk while still having the boozy punch of the light rum Cheers!
