Ron Atlantico. From Dominican Republic. Divine stuff. I get it from Selfridges in Manchester Trafford Centre, so you should be able to get it in London store or online.
Like searching for all good booze, first stop whiskyexchange.com, then see if can find said item cheaper anywhere else!! What type of rum does your mate like?? If you're not sure there's a great 'plantation' series which most years has a fantastic selection that's not too expensive.
My friend is Jamaican so I guess he'd want a Jamaican rum preferably. Although another island rum might be good as an ironic gift. And many thanks for the replies.
Depends how much you want to spend. If you are looking for a decent mid price spiced rum then Kraken Black Spiced you can get from Tesco. As Addickted has said though you can't go wrong with Appleton Estate Jamaican Rum, it is very nice indeed.
Buy Appleton, empty it out into a vase or similar, fill with Lidl's finest, decant into Apleton bottle, serve and relax. Then drink Appleton knowing you have won this competition.

Not really. As a rum drinker he'd know........... and not forget.

Remind me not to buy a car from you Art.
Go on, try it! Bet you the taste buds cant differentiate.
PS if he wants a low mileage Fiesta, let me know - I'll stick a BMW badge on the front and see if your mate can tell the difference.
I've been in Haiti a few times, and would seriously recommend the Barbancourt 8 year old rum - I think it uses a cognac-style process that is unusual amongst rums. Well worth a try.
It's £28 on Amazon and £34 at the whisky exchange. Sadly, like power banks and some other items airlines don't wish to carry, Amazon won't deliver it to Northern Ireland.

Jamaican rum is your best bet, my particular favourite is any of the Appleton Estate rums. The 10 year old is fabulous, but difficult to get hold of.
Woods Old Navy rum is also wonderful drinking neat or with ice - and it's quite potent.
Sainsbury's in Maidstone has a special rum section, like most supermarkets have with their whisky.
My birthday isn't until January though iainment.

And many thanks for the replies.

I'd love to go there but I don't like rum and my opinion wouldn't have any value.
The input from rum lovers is great and much appreciated.
All their rums are available in the duty free at both Kingston and MB airports at about 20% cheaper than at the Estate itself.
But I'm sure I've had too much of the Appleton range on several nights.

If he likes a good stiff drink, I suspect this one may be for him!!
