Nice balance and array of spices This is definitely a step up over its younger 5 year old sibling. Not as much burn going down. Similar notes as with the 5 year old with a nice ambe

Smith and Cross Navy Strength

High test Strong rum to drink neat however, as mentioned below, if you add a splash of water to it it tones it down a notch. Traditional Jamaican pot stilled r

Brugal Extra Viejo Reserva

Good rum for mixed drinks The taste is a little off for me with some burn as well. Brugal rums are ok but don't have that "Wow" factor, the extra viejo reserva, included. Some

Cayman Reef 5-Year

Nice introductory rum I also purchased this rum at an ABC store in Florida. Inexpensive and definitely worth the effort of finding a bottle of the 5 year Cayman Reef. A li

Botran Anejo 12

Decent mixer For the price this is a good choice for adding to your favorite cocktail. Bit of a burn and harshness going down to deter from drinking neat.

Enjoyable neat or mixed Vanilla, citrus and spice come to mind when drinking this rum. I do enjoy this neat as one of the only rums from Puerto Rico that I can say this about

Pusser's British Navy

Can be sipped but leave that for the 15 year old! Has some nice flavor of baking spices, oakiness and on the dry side. Best mixed in cocktails, however, if you choose to drink it neat, add an ice cube

Fortuna Reserva Exclusiva Anejo 8

Nice flavor in a hard to find rum Sweet rum with nice flavor. Can be mixed or enjoyed neat. Aged for 8 years, this rum shows some complexity and at $20 makes a perfect rum for you liqu

Havana Club 7-Year

Wish it were better Picked up a couple bottles of Havana Club 7 in Saint Maarten last month while on a cruise. Able to buy 2 bottle for $30! Being that you can't get Cu

Unusual rum indicative of Trinidad Made with cane juice, symbolic of Agricole rhums and cachaca's, though not what Trinidad rums are known for. I find this straw colored rhum to be a b

Brugal Extra Viejo

Adds nice flavor to mixed drinks Nice bold flavors with a delicate balance of sweetness with a hint of woody notes. Much better enjoyed mixed as opposed to drinking neat. Nice price

Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star

Great price and nice Puerto Rican rum This is definitely better than their 2 star, but still a little harsh to drink neat. Alcohol burn is too strong but works well in rum and coke as well

Chairman's Reserve

A little harsh as a sipper but compliments cocktails very nicely Fair price for a decent rum to use in cocktails. The burn is a little too much to be sipped neat, plus the complexity of the rum falls short due to t

A little to dry but good sipper At $50 a bottle, their are many other rums I would spend the money on. Having said that, the 1888 is a drier rum but offers complex flavors with just

Cuca Fresca Ouro

Ok sipper, but better in caipirinhas Earthy, woody and grassy taste as is evident of cachaca and Agricole rhum. I enjoy their cachaca line!

Abuelo Reserva Superior 7-Year

Above average sipper Decent price for a fine representation of Panamanian rum. In between it's older sibling the 12 year and younger version, anejo rests another example

Nice dark rum for the money Always enjoy a dark rum with its molasses flavor combined with charred oakiness, vanilla and toasted marshmallow hints. A one liter bottle will set y

Another quality Bajan rum Foursquare distillery has done it again! Another good quality rum for the money. Can be used as a mixer or enjoyed neat. Definitely taste the sherry

Flor de Cana 18-Year

Nice rum from Nicaragua...HOWEVER I actually enjoy Flor de Cana's 12 year old rum over their 18. Price being only part of the equation!

Nice mixer or premier component in homemade rum cake I purchased this on the island of Grand Cayman, a few years back and enjoyed it. I recently found it again in the Bahamas! Usually associated with t

Pyrat XO Reserve

Nice change of pace I enjoy this representation from Thailand! Yes, it has a very different taste than many of us are accustomed to, but that is what separates rum from

Havana Club Anejo Especial

Not as good as their 7 year, but a nice inexpensive rum Cuba and rum go hand in hand with a lighter style of rum. They offer a wide range of rums from their 3 year which can be bought for about $20US, to t

Havana Club Anejo Reserva

Love Cuban Rums This entry is not really for drinking neat, but to add to cocktails and rum drinks. The smooth flavor is starting to get there, but the flavors are j

Barcelo Gran Anejo

Has some good qualities The price is nice, it mixes well and easy to find. What it doesn't offer is complexity of some of its older siblings. Some of the flavors don't work

Bacardi Major Lazer Limited Edition

Another entry level rum from Bacardi Nothing spectacular with this rum. Fine as a mixer! I bought this due to its being a limited edition to add to my collection. Little complexity and

Tiburon Small Batch

Not worth the price Belize isn’t well known for its rum, and the Tiburon offering is no exception. The price is on the high side for a rum that really doesn’t do well on

Havana Club 3-Year

Ok, many better options in that price range though Not very complex, burn going down. Does well in rum and coke but too harsh to enjoy neat.

Appleton Estate Reserve

Good Jamaican mixer I like that this rum is aged in ex-Jack Daniels barrels, my other obsession! Not one to be enjoyed straight up as the burn and harshness is too strong

Bacardi Oakheart

Doesn't break my heart or the bank I frown upon purchasing Bacardi rums because of the fact that they are such a conglomerate and produce mass quantities of rum. Usually, when you thin

Centenario Conmemorativo

Better than the many other rums in this price range Obviously, this version cannot compare to their XX, their older siblings in terms of complexity, flavor and smoothness. Having said this, for the mone

Santa Teresa Anejo

As a mixer Light amber, young rum that has little in common with it's older, much better, 1796 rum. This rum is aged to bring out some characteristics of a bett

Flor de Cana Gold 4

Young rum that hasn't grown up yet! It is a nice, inexpensive rum that provides a decent taste in mixed drinks and ok as a sipper. Ideally, you have to jump up to the 7 year old to enjo

Botran Anejo Oro

Basic gold rum Not complex or very flavorful with a slight burn. This would be considered a introductory gold mixer. Better than Bacardi and many of the other gold

Saint James Royal Ambre

Budget Agricole This would be considered an inexpensive and introductory agricole rhum. The taste is on the harsher side with some burn. Not considered a sipper this

Cockspur 5 Star Fine

Another mixer and just that Light amber color, some heat, not overly complex and the flavors don't pop out at you. A fair price for a mixer from Barbados. Better than most rums

Matusalem Clasico 10-Year

Not their best output It just goes to show you how important it is for rum to age and length of time as well. Definitely get a better rum the longer it ages and the Matusa

Kind of Blaise... A pretty good mixer but on the harsh side to enjoy straight. Great price to add this one to you collection or as a decent house rum. Being aged for

Mount Gay Black Barrel

Least favorite of the Mount Gay line A little harsh with some burn. Flavors don't really mesh together very well. A good rum to add to your mixed drink recipes. Sipping is ok, but much

Plantation Jamaica 8

Medellin Añejo 8-year Extra Añejo

Angostura 5-Year

A little on the dry side with an burn going down Has a woody taste with hints of vanilla, oak, honey, caramel and spice. Not very complex due to the limited amount of time it has been aged. A nice m

Mount Gay Eclipse

One of my first rums This rum was, I believe, the fourth rum I had every purchased. Captain Morgan, Bacardi Silver, Appleton being the previous list in successive order.

Pampero Especial

Mixer and that is it Kind of harsh with considerable burn. Complexity just isn't there as the flavors are all over the place. Better mixed as drinking neat isn't a good

Shellback Silver

Nice inexpensive mixer I find this rum more enjoyable to drink than a lot of other white rums in the $15 price range. Nothing fancy flavor wise with some heat at the back.

Palo Viejo Gold

Standard inexpensive mixer is all The old cliche “you get what you pay for” is spot on with this rum. You are getting a basic rum that can be used to create a cocktail or mixed drink.

Myers's Original Dark

Definitely not a first choice Another juggernaut rum producer comparable to that of Bacardi. Quantity over quality for the most part. This rum is a standard staple for the colleg

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Ron Viejo de Caldas 3-Year

Similar to Medellin 3 year An ok rum that is good for mixing only. Harsh flavors and burn that are evident in young rums except for Cachaca or Agricole rhums. If your looking f

Medellin Anejo 3-year

Ok is all One of those rums to drink if your need something fast. Not a rum to enjoy neat as the limited aging hasn't been able to mellow and flavor this rum.

Angostura Old Oak Gold

Basic rum good for mixing Not a very complex rum with a burn going down. Flavors are not very pronounced. The limited amount of time spent in the barrel isn't able to bring ou

Tastes like a cheap flavored rum I don't like it very much as the flavors don't seem to be very intense nor expansive. Tastes like imitation ingredients causing a taste that isn't ve

Appleton Estate Special Gold

Not crazy about it Kind of harsh and strong burn going down. Doesn't really pack much flavor due to the limited time resting in barrels. Definitely a rum to be mixed, n

Appleton Estate V/X

Not for me... Jamaican rums are not very good in my opinion. The V/X is a little to harsh for me, plus the alcohol burn going down is more than I would prefer. Now

Women enjoy this sweet concoction I have only had this rum once and it was very sweet. To sweet for my taste. Yes it had a nice coconut flavor, however, when mixed with soda for exam

Can't do it... With the plethora of decent rums out there comparable in price to the Bacardi Gold, you could do much better. I just have a hard time seeking out a r
