just curious if people always buy the same rums all the times or are they looking to try new rums 

I have bought the same rums a few times but I am always looking to try different rums so basically I don't have a go to rum just wondering if anyone else is the same

There are some rare bottlings i like a lot, where i have stored 2 bottles for later. But for daily sipping i also never buy the same rum again. The One Time Limited Trinidad 2009 for 50€. I have three of that one. But mainly i drink new bottles i don't know because as kudzey said,  there is so much to explore and when i found the posibility of using samples, i went for that big  (got over 100Samples at the moment). I can only advice to go for samples. That way i could and can try so many different rums. I am a slow drinker and some bottles i have are open for more than two years. With samples i don't have  the pressure to open new bottles and i am able now to reduce my collection of open bottles.

I do the opposite: I have never bought a bottle of the same sipping rum twice. There are just so many to try! Recently I switched to sample-only approach since I prefer to try 30 glasses of different rums than to have a bottle of only one.

I may not have a specific bottle but I will always have an El Dorado and a Plantation on hand. And most times an Abuelo as well...

The rest seem to be random purchases of exploring.

When was that?My current bottle of Pusser's Blue was bought about half a year ago. I think it is fine.

 

There has been a rather substantial change in the formula. Pusser's was a mix of rums of various Carribean countries, now it is Guyana only. I quite like the Guyana only version, which is a rather heavy style of molasses rum. I assume others might like the older version better.

I have some rums that I buy again and again: Pusser's Blue, Myers's Dark, Wray & Nephew White Overproof, Smith & Cross. Other than that, I too try to get some variety and experience new rums.
