Need suggestions for good and affordable silver rum

We loved the Pyrat silver but can't seem to find it anymore. Tried a few others but can't find any that are as smooth and as affordable as the Pyrat. Thanks for your advice!

If you can't find a silver rum to your liking, use a young gold rum. The "premium" silver rums are just gold rums that have been filtered to remove their color.

I emailed the marketing department at Patron and they tell me they have stopped making Pyrat Blanco "because it no longer fits our strategy".

:(

Hi,

I've had a lot of good luck with Appleton White. Unless you need something very dry, it works well in lots of drinks that call for a light rum.

Try the excellent and recommend Cruzan Estate Light Rum (1.75 LTR) Regular Price: $16.99 ClubBev: $14.99 or the aforementioned Appleton White Rum.

Matusalem Platino is a good one. It should be around the same price range as the Appleton or Pyrat.

Only problem is the "affordable" caveat of the OP. The only price I've seen for it is around $25 a bottle. At least here in Tucson...

25 bucks! Wow that is alot. Here in the midwest, I've found it in the low teens before. Maybe I better stock up today!

I've, lately, been happy with the Angostura Silver I've been getting for around $18 a fifth. Myers' Platinum too, though a bit pricey, has been hangin' out at my bar for the last few weeks.

I can agree Cruzan Estate Light is a terrific deal I bought a 750 ml bottle at Holiday Wine Cellar 302 W Mission Ave. Escondido, CA for $10.75 and plan on going back and pick up several more don't know if it a pricing error or sale. This sure beats the Bacardi swill for $14.99

Both the Cruzan Light and Dark 2 year rums are on sale right now for $9.99 a bottle locally. I was going to pick some up before they went off sale. I had been kind of scared off by the Black Strap rum, but I do need another cheap light rum. I have two more of the TJ's $7.99 bottles of Pyrat, but I can't get more of that very easily. I don't even know if the CA Trader Joe's stores still have any. No AZ TJ's carry hard alcohol.
