Crowning a Champ - Rum N Coke Battle

Now there's gonna be some people that judge this video this is rum number b i don't know number b that's not even a number oh my god we haven't even let a one yeah we haven't even started drinking yet oh my gosh should we let the games begin let's dive in dude let's do this here we go you ready all right yo welcome back so a little bit different today if you haven't noticed and if if you are new to the channel typically we pick a rum break it down review it review it three different ways rum our way yep that's how we like to do it and today is a landmark video for us 20th video this is our 20th review video and to a lot of you you're probably like that ain't ---- for us that's we were blown away when we did video one yeah and then we hit video three and we're like oh man we're really doing this i never would have thought we got to 20 20 videos so this is so we've made 19 review videos we've reviewed a total of 22 rums and this is our hierarchy of rum and cokes so today we're gonna do a little rum and coke battle there are probably rums out there that make better rum and coke but as far as what we have reviewed up to this point we're going to blind taste them we're not gonna know what we're drinking and we're gonna find out because we've had some that i'm like that's the absolute best rum and coke i've ever had well let's see if that still stands yep and i'm just looking at these right here and there's a few in here that i just like in my brain sitting at this point i'm like that's going to be in the top three that's going to be in the top three that's going to be in the top three so i'm really intrigued to see if that's true yeah exactly or if one of these other boys i think you know if i was sitting there looking at it you know obviously i would pick the one that i like you know but then now obviously blind you don't know what you taste we'll find out drinking we'll find out we'll find out how much i loved it yep and i have completely over complicated everything and i have created this over the top elaborate way consistency yeah first off gotta have consistency so i i came up with this crazy system where like i do some things j does some things i do some things and so it really truly is even though we have made the drinks we are not gonna know you just gotta trust us the system works i promise you now at the end of the video we may not have the same winner that's going to be the interesting so we're going to have four total rounds we're going to have our three entry rounds of three runs each and we're going to each pick a winner from each round so we're each going to have three total winners and those three runs will then go into the championship round and again it's not going to be us coming together and deliberating on which one we think is best he's going to have his top three i'm going my top three we're going to go to the ship each try our three and then we're going to see like hey where were we where were we similar where were we different so special shout out to chairman's spiced that was 100 one of our favorite no rum and cokes we just felt like it would have been the only spice drum in the category and we in i think it would have kind of thrown some things off right yeah it's just going to be too obvious the best spice from out there hands down let's do this baby we're ready for round one let's do it round one let's go here we go group one we go group one let's start with the guy on the left we've got rummy we'll put it right here on the screen so you know rummy what's up bro here's the problem is we already know that we really enjoyed so everyone they're going to be like look at these guys it's so good dude it's going to be a disaster today yeah because we're going to have to do some revisiting now we're on rum h rum h rum h right here yeah gotta be on the point dog rum h we gotta cheers everyone that's different god damn that's so good that's different and again this just comes back down don't put yourself in a box rum is diverse go out there find rums try them both of these are banging e and h so far both so good very different very different you can significantly like it's not how are you going to tell the difference in all of them you can tell the difference okay round three is r r r that's kind of it is we failed that one another different one a very different author author very different author of a very different and i'm also just kind of in my mind trying to like yeah see if i can figure out which even though it doesn't matter i'm just like oh which one is that same i think i've got a good idea on what one thing i gotta figure out whose idea was this this is tough like i'm i'm this is this is round one bud god damn it okay i've got my rankings so who's your winner e and i've got winner is r copy that we're gonna have to write this down oh so much for round one round one we got our winners and let me finish that we did not agree did not agree is that the start of our breakup right there no because here's why it's here's why it only brings us together because even though we didn't agree we still agreed that we liked them all do you think you could name which ones they were oh i thought at first i thought it was the common color oh really yeah but now i but then now i think it might be the dogs oh i think ours one of the appletons all right should we continue on round two round two round two right here we pick this time where are we starting the start of the right one right side there we go rum oh ramo oh whoa that tastes nothing like the three from round one that's popping good i'm trying to think trying to think how to explain that doggy ramo is good i feel like we have the same expression they're like oh a bit on the sweeter side let the coke play through a little bit on that one a little bit i have no freaking idea what it is is that even one of the rums we had i feel like i've never drank that before in my life don't drink it all you got more to drink sorry all right let's move on s yep yes yes this one the rum really sticks out we're in oh oh it was sweeter and it let the coke play a little more yeah this the rum really sticks out i think i have a good idea what s is be interesting to see if we can get them on the same thing i think i have a good idea yeah uh-huh i don't know if i'm right or wrong or not either what are you thinking i thought i was coming i think it's the kamikaze as well yeah we're both spot on we both think s is the kamikaze let's say yeah we don't know if we're right or not the funny thing is when we did the kamikaze video we're like we said we have this in a yeah we're both calling kamikaze i'm calling kamikaze on s it'll be interesting it is because it's so distinct it's so distinct right and in a great way so good yeah like it's totally different from this totally different and we don't know what this is yeah so freaking good this is going to be a tough battle because the uniqueness on s whoa well did we just you know i don't know because i here's the thing here in a minute i'm going to revisit oh and who knows what we got here moving on what do we got a a i'm a oh boy we so stupid get the front door out of here i'm gonna think that would be a great idea i can't even do this because now i'm pushing all three oh man i'm trying to think what this one is different too than the two i don't know what that one is either all very different very different i'm pretty positive that's the kamikaze it is i'm i'm with you i just got that unique yeah there's just a unique for me and we talked about it in the kamikaze video they're like we're like this is just unique it had its own flavor profile they just spoke to us right and it was good but now sitting here next to these two not a knock on the kamikara i'm trying to decipher is the kamikara better than these two right and if it's not which is which is better this one is very good what is this oh oh is solid but i feel like it hides in the coke a little bit yeah and i feel like i guess a gives me a little bit more of my my rum and coke profile yeah yeah i'm with you a just fits the profile of a you know i'm gonna go with a as well yeah i'm actually gonna keep them how we drank them sorry yeah a a had a beautiful balance where s we're assuming is the kamikara is maybe a touch too rum forward yeah doesn't it really beats down the coke a little bit in this one here oh very good touch on the sweet side the rum doesn't come out quite enough i wanted a little bit more of a rum talk on this one yeah i'm gonna go i'm gonna go with a number one yeah i'm with you sm sm4 is probably going to be my number two yes i guess we totally agreed on that completely agreed on that round why didn't you guys just why didn't you guys just come join us maybe that would have been easier you know i would say eight of these nine rums you could find in most places the only one that's going to be difficult to find it's a limited edition it may be bad on us for adding in a limited edition like no but it was just too good it's too good right it was too good to not be in there i i am fearful though how if the holmes key does win be like haha hey everybody the holmes key this is the best rum and coke it's a limited edition roms all right here we go round three maybe final three rounds it's been a battle though so far it has been a battle like oh it's been so much harder than i thought that's the end middle rum in oh wow that's the other fun thing about this we have yet to have a rum and coke that tastes the same that is true we have yet to have one that tastes the same i mean this one doesn't hit you right on the first sip after you swallow this right on the back of the tongue just this nice beautiful flavor oh my gosh which one was that because that was another one we had and i'm pretty sure we spoke about how unique it was finish on this the finish was so phenomenal right all right baby where are we going now what is that tell you what it is freaking good this one's crazy this one like this one gives you the biggest thing i get out of this one it's like a palate it like it morphs in your palate like when it hits your tongue you're getting this like rum and coke flavor this one particular flavor but the finish leaves a different flavor i have no idea what it is it plays very well with the coke it's got a little bit of a sweetness to it when it hits your tongue right off the bat you pick out the flavor of the rum but as you're swallowing the finish that it leaves is completely different than what entered your mouth like it's like you can feel it transition yeah that is so interesting that that's why i say that one's fun like that's an experience in your mouth very interesting hang on okay so you're drinking c i am drinking let me catch up because you just had j let me catch up you don't drink yet let me catch up whoa that's why i said we're drinking the same rum no this comes into your mouth as one flavor it is you swallow it's a different flavor both of these rums morph that's why i said we're drinking i didn't think about anything about it i think c and j are similar similar i get it i get a different flavor profile but they play the same both of them c and j both like morph in your mouth and they both take you on this like trip yep where it's like you're drinking it and as like throughout the process of putting it in your mouth having in your mouth and then swallowing it it just get these flavor transformations so for me i don't even have a last in this to be honest yeah i don't know which one i'm like completely like putting out of it and being like all right you know what i think like this one is going to be i don't even have that i'm putting this is my last n simply because even though it's my guess is that n is one of the apples on i can't tell if that's quite the eight um or the um the 12 i can't quite tell but the reason it takes last place is because j and c i just like a roller coaster ride but yeah if you can hit a rum and coke it just takes you on this fun little ride this little road trip see entering my mouth is not that good it's the aftertaste it's the as it as it leaves your mouth this flavor that it leaves is just i don't mind then i don't mind the flavor of it entering my mouth to be honest it's fine it's fine i'm i'm just saying that it leaves a better flavor than what it is i like the flavor of j throughout i'm gonna go with c number one and j number two c's one j two okay and n is number three so we both agreed with n is the third place we disagreed with c and j i had j is number one i put c is two so that's that's where we disagreed with one two that c's got a little bit i think more maturity to it a little bit more of like your typical rum type flavors where j brought a little bit more sweetness to it reason i picked j i felt like it took me on a little bit more of an experience i would agree with you c definitely has a little bit more maturity rum type flavor but i just j felt a little bit more unique to me that was a tough one it is going to be a very different final we only have one run so our final has come down to five rums for me we have rum r rum a and rum j for you you've got rum e rum a and rum c whatever run a is we have agreed you ready for the championship round let me finish up my drink we'll wait don't worry the audio too late okay he's ready i'm ready championship round round yo okay these drinks i made j's he made mine so we still don't know what is what i mean he knows what i'm drinking i know what he's drinking there is one rum in here that we know what it is because we both picked it yeah so there is one rum in here that we have picked the same and we know what it is but we have i've made his drinks he's made mine and we've scrambled them so as far as this round goes all we're going to do is rank them one two three and then we'll reveal them at the end let's just go at it let's just go let's just go at it okay so let's start right let's run our way let's start right uh rum one you ready for rum two yet baby all right we got to okay metal rum metal rub whatever that is and rum three drinking ******* rum is awesome and again anyone who wants to ---- on a rum and coke get out i would be and they're shocked if anybody came and had those free rum and cokes and they would be upset oh this is gonna be hard could you put a disclaimer in there sure disclaimer away my friend whatever wins i don't know because all the rums are good and even if we were to rank these one through nine i would give every single one of these above an eight out of ten every single one you cannot go wrong with any of these rums on this list you can't you can not that's why this has been so hard right like literally we're comparing freaking just minuscule but it's fun in the sense because again i don't know if we've had a rum today that's been similar i would say all nine no it's stuck out differently and that's a mess i guess that's a good thing i'm a little torn i mean i am torn but i think i know who my three is but my one and two are gonna be so you feel pretty confident already huh yeah one one is a pretty obvious for me in this one believe it or not there's just something when i think about a rum and coke it just sticks out one is obvious for me two and three is the battle all right okay i think i've got my ranking i'm curious here's what i'm curious to find out yep i've got one two three are you ready believe it or not my one my one does not surprise me because leading into this video i actually and we talked at the beginning of this video i was like i have an idea on which guy's gonna win and it held strong when we did this video when go back and check it out and in that video i said that holmes key heritage blend that was one of the best rum and cokes i've ever had in my life and obviously up to this point it is proven in a blind taste test it is the absolute best rum and coke it is a limited blend if you can find it please pick it up especially if you're a rum and coke guy oh this is phenomenal are you ready for your reveal hi i'm ready for my reveal jay's reveal stays in the caribbean and where this makes us excited if you've seen the cruise we know that's your guy home base that's interesting that's your guy and apparently it's not my guy apparently cruisin is where i got my start cruisin is what brought me into rum yep and he's just carried me through rum and cruisin has made me love rum st. croix is my happy place yep and apparently it's your happy place when it comes to rum and coke i'm pretty i'm pretty sure i have that around when we get out yeah we talked about this right everyone talks about cruisin flavored sugared cheap rum and we talked about cruisin has range and it is proven again cruisin 13 has been your top rum and coke these are jay's three favorite rum and cokes up to this point here are my three favorite rum and cokes up to this point final thoughts for me these two not surprised this one blows my mind how do you feel about these three those three were my top five i'm not surprised the holmes keys in your top three the cruisin and the black top surprised me a little i wouldn't have expected the black top to make the top five i wouldn't have expected the appleton eight to make the top five because i remember liking the 12 yeah but interesting that's why we do this right it's fun right i remember loving the black dog on coke so good i think it was so good and cool it wasn't i mean well we do this right that was really exciting that was actually really fun today yeah good time so i'm glad i'm glad this guy made it such a good route especially on the nose so yeah if
