    *ebay store sells out.

    "but why's the rum gone?"

    But Seriously epic deal, thanks OP.

    Good deal. Awful rum IMHO.

    • +5

      I love it, never was a rum guy. But a bit of lime, rocks or coke this stuff is great. Got another recommendation?

        Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum $41.2 after discount
        https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/332460254806

        • +5

          Personal preference of course but I much prefer sailor Jerry’s / kraken over the captain Morgan’s black spiced.

        • +3

          I've recently noticed that the Captain Morgan bottles are not marketed as rum anymore!
          The bottles say "premium spirit drink" instead.

        • They have changed it lately. Recently Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum taste like water.

          @This Guy:

          Arrr ye not man but all stomach. I personally love the stuff. Although shouting "Release the Kraken" is a reason to by Kraken.

        • +2

          @Bargearse: +1 for Sailor Jerry

          Add fresh lime, mint and ginger beer 👍

        • @damion: I wonder if the people of Rum, Austria have reclaimed their name, like the French restricting the usage of "champagne"? :)

          @j4ck: must be the pretzels

          Glad you got the reference :D

        Depends on price..
        Best: Zacapa. Any age is still good. Pricey, expecially the XO (currently been some bargain $134, and possibly another 15% off via boozeit + pricematch).
        Also good: Kirk and Sweeney.

        Cheap? Mount gaye.
        Cheap & sweet, captain morgan. I presume people buying Kraken are ok with sweet, because Kraken reminds me of post-mix syrup used to prepare drinks at Hungry Jacks

        I've heard good things of Ron Millonario Solera 15 Reserva Especial, cheap ($72) on ebay, but haven't yet tried.

        • Ha, you beat me, Mt. Gay is the best sub $100 rum if you ask me and I've tried a lot

        • +2

          Have you tried Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva? $90ish a bottle and is (IMO) one of the best rums you can buy. Head and shoulders above the zacapa (again, IMO)

        • The Ron Zacapa solera 23 is amazing!

        • @ebosh:

          I've got a bottle of Diplomatico and it's amazingly smooth, but I haven't tried the Zacapa, which many compare it with.

        • @ebosh:

          No I haven't. One day I will :)

        • @justtoreply: highly recommended. The base Reserva is pretty good too but the price difference isn't that big to step up to the Exclusiva

      • Mount Gay Eclipse - $42 for 700ml at Man Durphy's

        I'm a big rum drinker, not a fan of spiced rum though and think Kraken is nasty.

        Mt Gay is ridiculously good value for money, very smooth and clean e.g. doesn't give me hangovers.

      • Try Chairman's Reserve for some top-shelf spiced. Super smooth, reminiscent of an old fashioned with an orange bitters flavour in there. Otherwise Baron Samedi or Untold for cheap spiced, Diplomatico for expensive normal.

      • +3

        Try a Dark and Stormy - Essentially just Ginger Beer (alcoholic or not) with lime and dark rum. Very delicious.

        http://www.esquire.com/food-drink/drinks/recipes/a3747/dark-…

      • Stolen smoked rum. Very tasty.

    • Agreed. Not my taste. I really like substation 71, and bati.

  • +1

    It seems the sailor jerry's and captain morgans are all back in stock again!
    1L captain morgan for $43 after discount is pretty good.

    • Yes it is, thanx

  • +2

    Different rums for different people. If you have kraken, try a good ginger beer and lime juice. Beats coke hands down for my taste

    • +1

      Dark n Stormy!

  • +1

    I've found almost every other rum I've tried too sweet for my whisky palate but Kraken has become one of my favourite drinking spirits - on the rocks or making dark mojitos. It's rich and strong on the spice without reminding me of molasses.

    • +1

      You will likely enjoy Deadhead then.

    • +2

      Other rums too sweet but Kraken is not? lol

  • +3

    How does Ron de Jeremy measure up?

    • +5

      With a 2ft ruler? :D

      • +1

        That's the section dragging on the ground right?

  • Nice one, Kraken is the bomb. It seems the new code is PUPIL

  • +6

    Release the Kraken!

  • Does it have the Bundy taste?

    • No.

    • Sweet Vanilla, mild spices. Thick syrup.
      Defs a mixing rum but goes well with pretty much anything.

    • +5

      No, only Bundy tastes like dirt.

    • You mean does it taste like a eucalyptus tree ? No.

      I bet koala bears like Bundy..

      • +1

        I bet drop bears love it too.

  • How long does Click and Collect usually take?

    • Pretty quick usually within an hour or two in my experience

    • Mine today was about 1hr

  • Ordered, thanks OP

  • Having dramas ordering this as there is plenty stock in Cairns store but via ebay deal there is no free click & collect even though it is on the page, then there is the issue of "please enter a lower number" & there is number 1 in the box,then there is the "Doesn't post to far nth qld" postage note. I have contacted the seller without any luck on an answer of why this is so. Contacted customer service & after a 15 minute on hold was told to buy from them & no discount available via their web site. Pretty poor this deal.

      • Thank you for the info, really appreciate your response, you are correct. Top marks to Peter & the team @ First Choice also who replied to my ebay question explaining your process. 30 minutes ago I followed this procedure with great results. Made note to 'self' on this procedure for future reference, (I'm an Old Fart) Cheers.

  • Are we able to price match with Dan Murphys?

    • Doubt it

  • I was looking for some spirits, they had non in stock. Pretty much everything was sold out. Now they are back at a higher prices

  • Bummer, I bought 2 bottles couple of days ago from dan murphys!

    Looks like I have to buy more now.

  • Nooooooooooooooo missed it :'(

    • Even worse, I missed it, AND I just finished the last drop of my last bottle of Kraken…
