Foursquare 2005 12-year

Divine perfection I could go on at length about this one, but what can be said that hasn’t already been said? Pure, powerful, perfect. Kaboom!

Neisson Blanc 50

Superb agricole If you’re not an agricole fan, an unaged spirit like Neisson probably isn’t your jam. However, if you are an agricole fan then this is a fantastic cho

Plantation 1996 Jamaica Long Pond ITP & HJC 24-year

Grand slam funk with a rye tint BC Canada's liquor prices (and laws and selections) are dreadful so this already expensive bottle was quite costly! However, it's a knockout of Long P

Appleton Estate 21-year

Stellar sipper A big whack of oak with a definite chocolate (?) funky banana-lite, smooth blast. This recently was released in Canada and I’m not disappointed. Price

Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve 6-10 Years

Good shit - ester heavy without blowing you back One of the rare local liquor stores brought in a a few worthy park rums. This is a rock solid sipper that gives you all the pot still funkiness of an

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Good good stuff Can it compete with the trusty lemon hart 151? Yes! In fact, this is sippable... mind you, you’ll get messed right up...

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Funk My favourite mixing rum when bold is required. It’s bold.

Clement Canne Bleue

Superb agricole blanc Fantastic stuff: strong tropical fruit notes with a hefty dose of grassy cane. Sharp and refreshing!

Rum Nation 2013 Martinique Hors d'Age

Dry and very smooth agricole Rhum agricole is a bit tough to find in my neck of the woods. This is one of the few I’ve tasted and yummmy smooth with a long pleasing finish.

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Ya it’s smooth and rich Everything a Demerara should be: irresistibly rich and smooth with dozens of complex subtleties... gonna take me a while to get to know it fully

Diplomatico 2002

Near beautiful Lovely expression, can’t say enough good things: if you’re drinking this you’re doing something right.

Cachaça-heads take note! I’ve been drinking my way through the cachaças in this line and this one is a stand-out. The aging in the amburana wood has added a bold baking-spice

El Dorado 21-year

Heady stuff! But... OK, this is fantastic rum and there's no question about that. However, is it that much of an improvement over the 15yo to warrant the (extortionate in

El Dorado 2006 Versailles Single Still 12-year

Lovely, for sipping only This is very nice with chocolate and leather in particular showing strong.

Plantation 2007 Australia 14-year

Nice! Dry and... five spice-y??? My experience with Aussie rum began and ended with Bundeberg UP before this. Bundy barely qualifies as rum and has the palate of paint thinner. This w

Karukera 2015 L'intense

Best of Guadeloupe I've had Finally, an agricole that can give me the ti' punch i've been hungering for since I was to the french West Indies. Rock solid hits of grass, funk, min

Plantation Barbados Calvados Casks 6-year

Bajan dry with calvados tinge - love Oooo very nice and as a calvados lover this is something of a match made in heaven. Nose is very interesting and doesn’t give away the spark of the pa

Rum Nation Demerara Solera No 14

Deep Demerara This rum nation from Guyana is done in the solera method. Huge dried fruits and cocoa (?) in the nose. Deeper earthy notes on the palette. Best as a s

Barbancourt Estate Reserve 15-year

Sipping bliss from Haiti This is very nice. I’d heard that the quality had dropped off due to the horror show the last decade+ has visited on Haiti, but I’m very impressed wit

Bow down This is the last word, as far as I’m concerned, on commercially available 151s. Don’t fuck with it.

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Fine example of Barbados rum Dry and oaky, with a long finish and some kick - rock solid sipper

Never had a white quite like it I’m very fond of this white rum as it brings the hogo it also a wide array of complex rum notes that totally surprised me for a white! Sippable on its

El Dorado 12-year

Good intro The 12 year is a sweet intro to sipping rum. It’s sweet.

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Won’t drink a mai tai without it It’s reputation is well deserved. 100% overburn hogo that will slap you hard.

Very nice My current go to for spiced rum. You can tell they put love into this one! Warm vanilla and baking spices abound.

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Nice sipper, solid Nice aged Jamaican goes will with most anything. Rich and smooth, but it’s funk is toned down somewhat; it’s dry with a slight burn.

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Benchmark flavoured rum Not avail in BC Canada, but just come in fresh from HI. Tasty with pineapple in front almost to the cloying but immediately backs off into a more than

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-year

A classic Classic history aside, it’s a rock solid poor: Painkillers yes, but a solid mixer with most.

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Tasty sipper; yummy mixer Not an authentic Barbadian rum due to some heavy dosage post distillation. However, pop this for the non rum snob and they’ll beg for more

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Sublime sipper Nose is vanilla and tropic fruits... banana Buttery Xmas spices on the palate with a lovely roasted finish that lingers. Sugared up the wazoo, but a

Hampden Estate Pure Single Jamaican Overproof

Good shit - funky Very nice stuff and at 59-60* it’ll blow you away -mixed. Funky pot still stuff and lovingly packaged. However, with the price, I’d go with smith & cr

Bayou Special Release Single Barrel

Very nice! I had been skeptical that a rum from the mainland US of A could be a sipper -wrong! This is nice stuff with a faint aroma of pineapple and other tropi

Clement Creole Shrubb Liqueur D’Orange

Excellent as a sub for curaçao in tiki drinks Had this as part of a Rhum Clement product range sampler and was very impressed. The use of aged (I assume?) agricole as opposed to brandy adds a subt

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Ideal sipper If I had to give a sipping rum to a skeptical friend this is the one I’d recommend. It’s rich, dark, sweet and oaky but in a classy very well balanced

Rum-Bar White Overproof

Comin’ in hot Definitely a contender vs. Wray & Nephew. Big blasts of overripe banana and hot kerosene. Good stuff.

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Pot-stilled affordability from Jamaica The funk is toned down, but it’s there and compliments the dryness very well. No after the fact dosing is a big plus. Good stuff.

Real McCoy Single Blended 5-year

Great bajan Finally available in B.C. (for now). The distillery needs no introduction. Great soft nose, lots of oak, medium sweet with 0 dosing as you’d expect gi

Diplomatico Planas

High quality Spanish-style mixer Your daiquiri would love this Venezuelan white. Perhaps a bit sweet vs dry? Lower your sugar syrup to taste.

Plantation Pineapple Stiggins' Fancy Smoky Formula

Interesting mix of pineapple and (faint) peat I was impressed with how quaffable this is on its own. The slight smokey-peaty tint has me wondering how it would perform in my usual Stiggins-based c

Real McCoy Single Blended 12-year

For bourbon lovers I’m disappointed it’s not a bit higher proof! But this is lovely oaky smoky dry stuff. Distiller by foursquare in Barbados I believe

Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal

Preferred mixer Quality clean and medium dry white rum from Plantation. Definitely a rock solid daiquiri. Nose gives molasses while the palate feels a bit of grassy f

For cachaça fans This is an interesting sipper cachaça aged in balsamo wood. It’s quite dry and with a hint of bitterness I suppose from the South American wood. I’m q

Avua Still Strength

Nice! This line has only recently arrived in BC Canada. Due to the appalling range of products allowed into a the province by our abysmal liquor board, cach

Karukera Vieux 3-year

Like rhum agricole? This one’s mild Dry, but without the vegetal slap of most agricoles. Here in Canada it’s woefully overpriced so I’d warn off it unless you’re an agricole hound... if

Nice aged agricole Smooth, but with a oakiness to offset the grassy agricole punch. Dry, good sipper

Clement Liqueur Creole Shrubb Orange

Nice liqueur with a bite Tasty stuff with sharp agricole notes and warm orange sweetnesses. Would sub it for any cocktails calling for curaçao or grand marnier

Plantation Original Dark Double Aged

A solid swap for Pusser’s Rich caramel and baking spice... is it sweetened with added sugar??? Regardless, it stands out in most any mix calling for a dark. Recommended.

Clement Select Barrel

Solid agricole Lighter body for an agricole, very nice to mix with -not just for ti punch!

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

A fine sipper Nice and smooth, hints of coffee, toffee, and baking spice- yum!

Angostura 7-year

Lovely nose Perfectly aromatic vanilla notes. A fine amber mixer, but in British Columbia overpriced.

Flor de Caña Extra Dry 4

Rock solid white Grassy but firm white that works well in -surprise- anything seco.

Cruzan Black Strap

It’s blackstrap The overwhelming molasses kick makes it a rare use. However, it is smashing in a Cuba Libre or, of course, a Jungle Bird.

Middle of the road I'm inexperienced with cachaca, but was suitably satisfied with this one's bones tasted in a caipirinha or two.

Havana Club 7-year

Versatile and unfussy Rich spice and smoky leather on the nose and then all smooth...

Gosling's Black Seal

It’s Bermuda’s own A national institution and major export. How does Gosling’s stack up? Well, in fact it’s pretty versatile and is a must with ginger beer. Definitely n

Nice rep of an unaged agrichole Big vegetal funky aroma, clean grassy taste without too much sweet. Nice! Obviously works best in a ‘ti punch

Appleton Estate Reserve

I’d actually go 7.5, a fine representation Disclaimer: I love Jamaican rums... you may or may not. This is the middle of the road Appleton mass market offering and it is a middle of the road. R

Appleton Estate 15-year

Good, but a bit of a disappointment Classic Jamaican sipper yes, but does it bring much more to the table than the Appleton 12???

Golden Devil Dark Overproof

Heavy!! This is quite pricey in western Canada and at 114 proof is heavy heavy. There’s strong jamaican and Guyanese vibes as you’d expect and it packs an app

Novo Fogo Silver

A solid cachaca Not just for the inevitable caipirinhas. Heavy cane and grass notes and a pretty thick taste. Will stand out in any mixed drink!

Banks 7 Golden Age

Lots going on Versatile, but then that’s to be expected given the number of rums in the blend. Tamed hogo is predominant, but I find some oak, pepper, and stone fru

Cana Brava Light

Quality mixer -crispy dry The cana brava white is pretty much bullseye for daiquiris given it’s dry sweetness and crystal clean taste.

Plantation Isle Fiji

Fruity and floral! This makes for an nice aged rum when whipping up daiquiris or tiki. It’s lands quite floral with some mango-y tang. Nice!

Lemon Hart Original 1804

In the shadow, but mixes Obviously not in the same league as it’s 151 brethren; the wonderful nose isn’t carried through. A wonderful expression of Demerara as a mixer however

Decent pot still -mix me The worthy park bar range recently became available in British Columbia. Their amber rum is a perfectly fine entry level funker that, to my mind, stan

Flor de Caña 12-year

Respectable sipper Moving from the 7 to the 12 you realise that this is the one meant for sipping. It’s solid enough Spanish-style rum with no sugar added -bonus! Dry an

Chairman's Reserve 4-6 Years

Dry with subtle qualities Decent stuff, dry with a slightly gassy feel off the back of a touch of oak

Karukera Reserve Especiale 5-year

Disappointed with this aged agricole Dry with hints of vanilla and a caramel-y sweetness. Light and missing the vegetal notes of the other aged agricoles I’ve tried.

Appleton Estate V/X

Decent mixer A perfectly serviceable Jamaican expression for mixing. No it won’t slap you upside your head with hogo, but it’s quite nice in a modest way.

Havana Club 3-year

Solid mixer Cuban rums aren’t my preferred. However, Havana club is a decent mixer that I happily pawn off on guests for daiquiris and, of course, mojitos. Turns

Lemon Hart Blackpool Spiced

Alas no Bayou I had hoped for more given the storied name, but no luck. Fair enough in a mix, fine with coke, happiest with ginger beer, but beyond that a let down

Old Sam Rhum Demerara

A fine Demerara Quite nice, a shade below el dorado 12 but far up from the lemon hart 1804!

Saint James Royal Ambre 18-Mois

Not the best agricole at 40* Use when an agricole is called for in mai tai, etc. Decent ti punch

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-year

Solid dry rum mixer I like that this marque has 0 sugar added. What you get here is a nice dry, aged rum that’s inexpensive and works well in most any daiquiri or other m

Myers's Original Dark

Yes a classic, but overtaken as a mixer It was a lot of fun to see this classic appear in BC Canada recently: private stores only of course. Molasses, oak, earthy, coffee, cola, leather. It

Heavy funk... light load I'm a big fan of the funk and this white does not disappoint on that front, however, at 40% abv it doesn't smack my palate the way it's OP sibling doe

Sadly lifeless Decent enough as a Jamaican mixer, but lord have mercy bumboclaat, there is so much better.

Bacardi Gran Reserva 8-year
