Serious RUM...mmmmm

I loooove rum, but am having a hard time finding the good brands. Anyone have a good tip?

Would love specifically to find the following:
Pampero - the best rum ever!
Flor de Cana - a good runner-up

Pussers Rum -- the original blend of the Royal Navy but at a drinkable strength.

I have to say that Pyrat rum (from the same people that do those fancy tequilas whose name temporarily escapes me) was a revelation to me. A seriously good sipping spirit (like a malt whisky or a good Armagnac). Not cheap (about HK90 a glass at my local) but several leagues above any rum I have ever tasted before.

Any product promoted by a dyslexic ad agency is not worth considering.

Pyrat is bottled by Patron Spirits. Sounds pretty good. I'd like some Appleton Estate too, or maybe some real deal Puerto Rican Bacardi.

OK...now I REALLY want some rum. Where do I buy these babies in Hong Kong?
I've looked at the usual suspects (Citysuper, etc.) but the selection is pretty meagre.

Ah yes, the naval strength stuff! I remember the morning but not the night before sir! Depending on the manner of consumption I'm a Havana Club or Pussers drinker but there are times when Calamansi and Tanduay do the job, as does Old Monk Rum and Coke!

The Patrón Spirits Company: Pyrat XO Reserve
Can be sampled at the FCC bar for one. I'll try to find out who the distributor is.


This looks like good stuff:
The Patrón Spirits Company: Pyrat Cask
