Recommend a good quality rum for a gift?

I love rum, but don't know much about it and what is high end and what is not.  My friend is getting this for a gift for her dad, and she isn't knowledgeable on the rum either.  I'll be doing some googling, but personal recommendations are always great too!!

  • Bacardi 8 is good. It's not off the charts expensive, but better than your run of the mill rum.

  • Captian Morgan's spice rum is my favorite.  I think there is a "black label" version of CM that is a little more expensive, but still not crazy.

    This is what I was going to say. Maybe people who are really into good rum won't agree, but it is the sipping rum in my house.

  • I would totally recommend Mount Gay rum. They have a lot of different levels of quality, but the coolest thing about them is that they are "most" likely the oldest rum maker in the world.

    My parents lived off of it and introduced me to it. It's very smooth and easy to drink (and that's just their basic rum).

  • My H likes Cruzan Single Barrel the best.

  • You could also buy Cachaca, which is a Brazilian liquor that is similar to rum.
    Sadie is not impressed.

    What about one of cruzans flavored rums?

  • Captain Morgan Tattoo is a great rum

  • While perhaps tasty in a mojito, I wouldn't call then "high end".

    Oh, I recently tried this for the first time.  Yum.  It is unique... reminded me of tequila for some reason.
