Thanks to Mike at Delilah's in Chicago I tried a few new (to me) rums lately. I finally got to try the Ron Zacapo - it was my favorite at the rum tasting. Another I tried at Delilah's was the Ron Anejo Anniversario from Venezuela, that JT and weirdunc mentioned erlier in this thread. Mmmmm, it's definitely my current favorite.

I went to Sam's Liquors in Chicago on Mike's tip. Wow, they have an incredible selection of rums, whiskies, and more. I bought a bottle of the Ron Anejo Anniversario, El Dorado 12-yr Demarara, Pisco Capel in the Moai decanter, Coruba Dark (great substitute for Myers's - if the Tiki Ti uses it it has to be good), and a bottle of Old Van Winkle 10-yr Bourbon. I was so excited I forgot to look at the syrups for Falernum! They don't have any of the above rums in my local stores - even the Coruba is hard to find here lately. I highly recommend Sam's if you're in Chicago.
