Diplomatico 2004

Outstanding sipper Full bodied rum with significant sherry fruitness and excellent burn followed by dark chocolate.

Quorhum 30-year

Perfect balance It's just how rum should taste like. Vanilla, cocoa and coconuts with just enough sweetness and burn.

Havana Club Union

Wow The best dry rum I had so far. Nice full body with perfect burn, wood and vanilla tones. Very nice aftertaste.

Fruits and burn Perfect balance of fruit sweetness and alcohol burn. Very light and nice drink.

Foursquare 2008 12-year

Wow The smoothest overprood I ever tasted. Well rounded burn with salty caramel taste, cocoa and vanilla. Very complex and enjoyable.

Barcelo Imperial Premium Blend 30 Aniversario

Well balanced Good balance of burn, body and tail. Strong aroma of cocoa and vanilla.

Quorhum Cask Strength 30-year

Burn Well done. Rough aroma with vanilla and fruit tones. Initial burn is intense with unfortunately no body in the aftertaste.

Mount Gay 1703 Master Select

Dry and beautiful Perfect dry rum aged in bourbon barrels with tones of wood and cocoa and pleasant burn. Aroma is also much smoother than expected.

Kirk and Sweeney 23-year

Refreshing Very nice burn which follows the entire experience is combined with dry and sweet tones of vanilla and cocoa.

Abuelo XV Tawny Port Cask Finish

Excellent Wonderful taste rich on port tones. Burn and sweetness is really well balanced making it a pleasant experience.

Contadora Premium Reserva 15-year

Very well balanced Realy smooth start is followed by nicely full body and ends with chilli like burn. Pleasant surprise at this price.

Cubaney Selecto 18-year

We got a winner Seriously, for the price its one of the best rums I have ever tasted. Perfectly balanced sweetness and afterburn.

Ron Maja 8-year

Good sipper Very well balance with smooth burn, decent honey sweetness and nice aftertaste.

Diplomatico 2002

Well balanced Initially I was surprised by a bit stronger alcoholic smell. Initial burn is followed by intense cocoa taste which persist through the entire experien

Plantation 2004 St. Lucia

Complex From the beginning till the end, this rum brought all the spectrum of tastes. Starts with a bit sweetness in combination with alcohol harshness. Follo

Quorhum Sherry Finish 30-year

Sherry Full bodied and sweet with intense cherry flavour. Reminds me of single vintage diplomaticos.

Opthimus Malt Whisky Finish 25-year

Fruity Rich body with explosive fruity burn and body. The aftertaste is a bit plain, that's why I rate it 9.

Honey Nice balance, tones of vanilla and honey, delicate burn.

Doorly's 12-year

That's how it should look Fruity aroma, sweetness without added sugar and strong dark chocolate aftertaste that lasts forever. All of this at such a bargain price.

Equiano Original 8-year

Good for the whole night Great product from Richard Seale. Similiar to R.L.Seale's. Not that dry, a bit sweeter start and with characteristic Foursquare profile.

RL Seale 10-year

Good starter Very dry with awesome burn. Oakish aftertaste which could be a bit longer.

Santiago de Cuba Anejo Superior 11-year

Caramel Well balanced rum with significant tasted of burned caramel. Slightly accompanied with vanilla and cherries, but overall way too straightforward.

English Harbour 2010 Port Cask Finish 5-year

Good port sipper Fruity body with strong port tones. Burn is well balanced with pleasant burn.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

The icon One of the most famous rums. The first good rum I've ever tasted that made me a rum lover. Currently a lot sweeter than I like, so decent 7.

El Dorado 12-year

Can't go wrong I have to say i prefer 8yo Eldo as this one is a bit sweeter than I like. But still overall great rum for great price.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

My choice I really like this one. Good sipper for decent price.

Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala

Better plantation In contrast with my review of plantation barbados, we really enjoyed this one. Pleasant sipper.

Pirate's Grog Golden

Keelhauled Got this one recommended by a friend. What a surprise that rum for such a ridiculous price can taste so good. Yarrr!

Abuelo Reserva Superior 7-year

Great choice This one is the classic between my friends. We always return to it. Pleasant rum for a great price.

Good sipper A bit more pricey but one of the better sippers. Definitely try it.

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Great rum Enjoyable sipper. Cant go wrong with it even when you are sad, young and straight.

Don Papa Small Batch

Intetesting Interesting body with fruity taste. Kust enough sweetness and harshness.

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Rough Expected something a bit smoother aftet first sip. Alcohol taste stays stronger and longer, but the body is pleasant and fruity

Cinnamon Pleasant character, little bit of smoke, cinnamon and spices, not too sweet. Aftertaste is very smooth, harshness just enough.

Vizcaya Cask 12

Really good I find this rum very well balanced with just enough of every part of the taste.

Gold of Mauritius Solera 5-year

Well balanced Pretty well balanced with only one bad thing - aftertaste was really short.

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Wonderful experience Got this one recommended in a liquor store. I was really surprised by the result of this "experiment". It's like drinking a pineapple without any suga

Presidente 15-year

Well balanced Overall this rum is very well balanced with sweet tones in the start which slowly turns into smooth burn. I am just missing something special to give

Foursquare 2004 Zinfandel Cask Blend 11-year

Intetesting I find herbs and spices to be really dominant here. Aftertaste should be a bit longer in order to give it 9.

Flor de Caña 18-year

Decent Not that sweet and unlike 7yo contains taste :). Just enough burn, but I am still missing something in taste in order to rank it higher.

Plantation 2003 Trinidad

Good sipper At first it felt a bit too alcoholic but aftet few sips my tongue got used to that and only well balanced taste remained.

Presidente 19-year

Well balanced Sweetness and full body. I just dont see that much difference from 15yo.

Cihuatan Reserva Especial 8-year

A bit burny First burn is a bit too strong and covers what comes after. Excellent balance with tones of dark chocolate.

El Dorado 8-year

My favourite I consider this one to be one of my most favourite rums. The intense tones of dark chocolate are why I always like to return to this rum. And have I

Beach House Spiced

Contadora Premium Reserva 12-year

Well balanced Fruity tones and alcoholic burn in perfect balance. A bit of spicyness bit not as strong as 15yo.

Appleton Estate 21-year

Refreshing In contrast with other aged rums, Appleton 21 keeps its really strong alcoholic smell. After first sip fruity raisines are pleasantly mixed with hars

Classic Cubaney Average tones of coconut and cocoa with enough burn. It has been a year since I had 18yo version but I found it somehow better.

Real McCoy 12-year

Well balanced Decent sipper for the price. Tones of vanilla and cocoa, a bit sweeter.

Centenario 20-year

Bitter tones Sweet taste of vanilla with tones of cinnamon and slight burn

Abuelo Two Oaks

Good one Nice sherry aroma with smooth burn and sweetness. Tail falls behind as it's pretty weak. Not bad for 40%.

Maximo XO Extra Premium

Classic Oliver Sweeter mainstream with nice burn and oakish tail. Not bad but nothing extraordinary.

A. H. Riise XO Reserve Superior Cask

Orange liquor Intense aroma of orange in smell and taste. Burn is well balanced, tail pretty plain. Way too sweet for me.

Elements 8 Platinum

970 Reserva 6-year

Wine aroma agricole Sweeter tones of madeira wine and fruit combined with raw sugarcane burn.

Dark chocolate Pretty dry with harsh, not so delicate burn. Aftertaste has a significant dark chocolate taste. Drinkable, but there are better ones.

Cubaney Gran Reserva 25-year

Plain end Overall decent well rounder, but I can't see a difference between this and 18yo. I don't see a difference between this one and 18 or 21yo

Dos Maderas Luxus

Sweeter I have to say it was way too sweet. I had a weird experience with no aftertaste in the middle of my tongue.

Gosling's Family Reserve Old

Fruity and burny Very strong alcoholic aroma and burn. Fruity tones and rough alcoholic burn. Reminds me of irish whiskey.

Doorly's XO 6-year

Decent sipper Tried this one during degustation of 5 different rums. It was a good relief from some sweeter pieces that we tried that night. Decent sipper for that

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Decent For the price there are much better rums out there. Way too sweet for me.

XM Royal Gold 10-year

Good rum Tried it once and I have to say I liked the 5yo more. Nothing wrong with this one tho.

Great rum Few years ago I enjoyd this one a lot. Gave it another try recently and found it not that good anymore, but still a decent choice.

Baoruco 21-year

Decent sipper I remember I tried it once and there was nothing wrong. Maybe too shallow for the price.

Sugar Pretty full body, but way too sweet for me. Not my cup of coffee.

Diplomatico Reserva

Decent Decent sipper. Fits in between of 7 and 12 diplomaticos.

Pyrat XO Reserve

Fruity Every once in a while its good to return to this one. The fruitiness is really typical for Pyrat.

Mount Gay Eclipse

Not that gay I was pretty surprised that such a rum may be a decent sipper.

Flor de Caña 12-year

Great choice Really enjoyed this rum. And also the look of the bottle makes it a great gift. Yea right, you dont have to give Diplomaticos only 😊.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 23-year

Decent Pretty good rum, but for the price there are in my opinion better choices.

Pusser's Overproof

Burn I always remember faces of peoples which taste this with no idea of it being overproofed ... a bit. Pretty interesting. 7 is for all the fun.

Summum Cognac Cask Finish 12-year

Marzipan Overall good rum. What surprised me the most were tones of marzipan.

Cubaney Gran Reserva 12-year

Just that aftertaste I really like aroma and just enough sweetness and harshness for me. Unfortunately the really good beginning was ended by really plain aftertaste. I wi

Santa Teresa Selecto

Decent Not that sweet, pretty well balanced but the body is not that full and getting a bit plainer. Aftertaste is decent.

Damoiseau VSOP 4-year

Agricole What would one expect from agricole. A bit rough but interesting and slightly fruity in the end.

Punta Cana Ron Muy Viejo

No aftertaste After pretty sweet start comes a bit of alcohol sparkling. Aftertaste looks like it is getting really pleasant but ends way too fast. What a pity.

A. H. Riise 1888 Copenhagen Gold Medal

Decent Everythig in place and nothing really wrong or extraordinary.

Contadora 10-year

Decent For the price its really good. Just a bit less burn would be better.

Ron de Jeremy XO 15-year

Sweet and smooth Sweet tones in the start are unfortunatelly followed by plain body and aftertaste. What a pity, with more balance this would have been 9.

Barcelo Imperial

Decent A bit more harsha with nice coconut and nut body. Aftertaste is slightly plainer. Well rounded sipper.

A. H. Riise Non Plus Ultra Very Rare

Marzipan Not so sweet as other AHs. Intense taste of almonds/marzipan which quickly fades away. I would prefer longer aftertaste and also other tones.

Serum Ancon 10-year

Sweet vanilla rum Average sweet rum with tones of vanilla and almonds. Short tail. Decent burn.

Sweeter agricole Sweet sugarcane aroma with nice burn. Very pleasant drink but not worth the price.

Engenhos do Norte Zarco Natural 60

Diplomatico Añejo

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Time to refresh? I had it a looong time ago and found it way too harsh. Maybe its time to give it one more try.

A. H. Riise Black Barrel Navy Spiced

Average Nothing extraordinary. Decent rum for the price, but too boring.

Chairman's Reserve Spiced

Botran Anejo 12-year

Plain Unlike Botran Reserva its way too alcoholic with plain body. Better go for older ones which are awesome.

Decent Really strong alcoholic punch in smell. Tones of vanilla behind insane dose of sugar. Aftertaste unfortunately ends up really quickly. And yeah ...

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva - 7-year

Plain We found this one really plain with nothing interesting in it. It definitely can be a really good mixer.

Not rum The only rum thing about this is the word on the label. But i have to say its not that bad to have few shots of that. Definitely not a sipper.

Too sweet Not my cup of tea. Intense mix of vanilla and cinnamon. Pretty artificial taste.

Dzama Cuvee Noire Prestige

Vanilla sugar Well, for baking it may be good, but other than that its only liquid vanilla sugar.

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

Good with coke Nothing wrong with it when mixed with coke. Pretty much cheap summer classic, but I cant find anything to enjoy when drinking alone.

Bacardi Oakheart

Old Nick Spiced Golden

Typical low cost spiced Nothing extraordinary to expect. Decent with coke during hot summer, but thats just it.

Wannabe rum The effort the put into turning this into a decent rum is way too obvious. Smell and taste is too artifical.
