It is MUCH more challenging to try and find really good rums on the cheap like these listed below. This represents only 11% of all 182 rums that I have tried that cost less than $25 US. So in some ways, this initial venture was more expensive than trying the highly rated expensive rums, but I was glad to have been the guinea pig on this. I had to omit Cana Brava 3 Year Old because it is no longer available. If you find a bottle grab them all!!! Only the first two in this list have my rating of 8, while the rest are all rated as a 7. And here they are, in order:Blackwell's ReserveRum Fire OverproofEl Dorado 8Plantation Original Dark Double AgedCarta Vieja 8 AnosSan ZanjDoorly's 8 YearDoorly's XORon Centenario 9 Commemorativo896 8 YearFoursquare SpicedPlantation Artisinal 3-StarsSelvarey WhiteOak & Palm SpicedBounty SpicedChairman's Reserve SpicedBrinley Gold Shipwreck SpicedAlleyne ArthursVizcaya CristalNavy BayHopefully, this will help the newbies on this site.

Graet list, I would add Pusser's blue label from myself, its price is on the border but I manage to find it under 25 USD occasionally.

Kudzey: I have the Blue Label rated as a 6, which is why it did not quite make it to this list. Their Gunpowder Proof is much better (and costs more), and I have that one rated at an 8.
