156: The Rumcast Daiquiri Bracket Round 2: Modern Daiquiris
You can watch the video version of this episode on YouTube.
It's time: we're back with the second entry in our series to determine the best daiquiri rums available on the market, the Rumcast Daiquiri Bracket!
This time, we're breaking down the "modern" portion of the bracket. Compared to the "classic daiquiri" rums in round one, these rums are typically more flavor-forward, and often composed of both pot and column still rums from multiple countries. Some of them also feature aged (and unfiltered) components.
From heavy favorites like Probitas, to overlooked gems like Worthy Park Silver, to unavoidable bar staples like Planteray 3 Stars, to newcomers like Grander Cane Harvest, we put them all to the test to see what stood out and what disappointed.
Here's the full rum list:
Probitas / Veritas, the collaboration between Foursquare Distillery and Hampden Estate
Holmes Cay Fiji Single Blended Rum (the people's choice vote winner!)
Hamilton Breezeway Blend
Planteray 3 Stars
Worthy Park Silver
Banter White Rum
Transcontinental Rum Line High Seas
Grander Cane Harvest
Check it out and let us know which rums you prefer from the bunch. Cheers!
P.S. As a reminder, Rumcast Reserve bottles are officially available in stores and shipping from our online retailer! You can grab your bottles here.
