El Dorado 8-year

Only slightly more expensive than ED5, so much better Hard to get this out here in the San Francisco area, so I horde it when it shows up at my favorite shop (kudos to SF Wine Trading Company in Taraval f

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

I compare most rums against this one - the gold standard This is what I serve first to friends who haven't experienced 'good rum.' It sets a high bar and rarely fails to please. Many will find it slightly on

El Dorado EHP Single Barrel

My favorite bottle from Demerrara Distillery - oh, if it were only available! Regrettably, I can't get this locally (San Francisco/Oakland). Last time I picked up bottles in the duty free shop at Piarco and they didn't last long

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Considerably better than the orange-label Reserva If you prefer sweeter rums, this will be your gold standard. On par with my personal gold-standard choice, El Dorado 15, but slightly sweeter than I g

Angostura 1824 12-year

A fine choice Good straight-up sipping. A tad sweet and firey, like other Trinidad offerings. If forced to choose, I'd take a bottle of El Dorado 15 over this, but

Flor de Caña 18-year

Brilliant Meets or exceeds my gold-standard El Dorado 15, with the added benefit of being slightly less syrupy/mollassesy (sp?). A pricey bottle to be kept asid

Plantation 1999 Guyana

Guyana or Guyane? Either way, good stuff Unclear whether earlier versions of the "Guyana" Plantation bottles were mislabeled... GUYANA is the western most of the three Guyanas; GUYANE - on th

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Hard to forget, recommend, or ignore I've never quite experienced the explosion of wafty spice that this stuff brings to the palette. I'd serve it in a flight to demonstrate the range of

El Dorado 21-year

Excellent, no question; value-wise, it's a stretch Extremely delicious, but worth almost 2X the cost of a bottle of ED15? Eeehhhhh... I'd never turn down a glass of ED21, but until I'm celebrity-class

El Dorado 5-year

Rupununi Firewater - and lifesaver! This isn't about the rum, it's about the experience. When travelling through Guyana, I always carry bottles of ED5 with me as a gift, salve, and icebr

Flor de Caña 12-year

Good! Reasonably good, a bit thin, not the cleanest finish. But I'll gladly drink it! Doesn't beat my gold standard, El Dorado 15.

Ron Zacapa Centenario 15

Yum! I've grabbed a few discounted bottles of this and was thoroughly delighted. Tasty, interesting, not to sweet, not too harsh, and never a hesistation t

Murray McDavid Guyana

Good luck finding it Only 2500 bottles of this stuff are floating around, so it's a pretty rare duck. Ultra smoky and dry, slightly harsh (but in an intriguing way), and b

Renegade Guyana

Numerous versions of the Renegade Guyana line There are several versions of this floating around; none of them are easy to find and nor are they cheap. I absolutely loved a "Renegade Flight" at NO

El Dorado 12-year

Why bother - better options up or down The introduction of ED 8 kind of renders this bottle moot, in my opinion. ED 8 is less expensive and, on my palette, slightly more complex and interes

Diplomatico Reserva

Trade up to Reserva Exclusiva If you're buying sips at a bar (say, Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco) get a shot of this and a shot of the upgraded green bottle. You'll see in about

Good for maitais I'd throw this in cocktails in a pinch. I'm Kama'aina so I'm all for supporting local industry. But, this was pretty unremarkable, low-budget rum in m

Black Cat Superior

Uh, no I wanted to love it. But didn't. What more is there to say?
