Appleton Estate Master Blender's Legacy

Another one of the nineteen Elusive "Limited Edition, Out-of-production, None left anywhere" Rums are a PITA to find, but when you do you appreciate them even more. I'll be up

Dos Maderas Luxus

Perfect sipping Rum And opens up nicely with a (very) few drops of water. Does have notes of a nicely aged port (my other favourite spirit). Thus far, my 2nd favourite

Appleton Estate Exclusive

My favourite so far Too bad it's in limited quantities (AND only available at the estate, AND Incredibly expensive when you factor in the travel cost to get it) or it wou

Appleton Estate Limited Edition

Not quite the one... ...to rule them all, but definitely one of the nineteen. (THE ONE would be the 50 year old that I doubt I will ever be able to afford, but, hopefully,

Appleton Estate

2nd favourite Appleton (so far) You can taste the barrel aging. On it's way to rivalling cognacs

Brugal Siglo de Oro

One of the best Dominican rums Good after dinner sipping Rum. One or two pieces of ice will help the oily flavours dissipate smoothly in your mouth

Appleton Estate Reserve

Excellent mixer using it for "good" friends instead of the VX in mixes

Appleton Estate

Nice all around rum Has enough character to not get lost with the addition of water a/o ice a/o pineapple juice

Appleton Estate V/X

Best mixer For those good friends or clients you like, V/X is a premium Mixer that is also a good sipper

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Will cure what ails you.... ...and will taste (relatively) good while doing so. I've use the 151 proof version (unfortunately, they only make 120 proof now) of this white ligh

Appleton Estate Reserve

Nicely aged A bit more body and texture than the V/X, so a nicely finished and reasonably good sipper, but still affordable enough to have as a (REALLY TASTY) mix

Pyrat XO Reserve

Nicely Fresh I was nicely surprised by this (Okay, I confess, I originally bought this bottle because I thought it was cute...) intriguing little rum. At around $

Pusser's British Navy

Intriguing mouth Leaves a nice peppery molasses tasye in the back of the throat.

CocoMania Coconut Splash

Surprisingly Good My wife asked me (read FORCED ME) to get this bottle when we visited the Appleton Estate this year. I had been avoiding "Flavoured" rums ever since

Better than expected As with all rums that come in novelty bottles, I wasn't expecting much (especially after being burned by the $45 usd Pumpkin Face "Premium" white rum.

Appleton Estate Special Gold

The Mixer if you want to add a (good) taste of the island to any drinks you are making,

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Cute little Rum When you don't feel like bringing a bottle of wine to a BYOB, this makes for a good little sipper (on the rocks)

Captain Morgan Cannon Blast

Surprisingly Good (especially compared to Pumpkin Face white...) It might have been that I wa so utterly disgusted with the the other rum we were tasting that night (Pumpkin Face White) , but I was pleasantly surpri

Barbancourt 3 Star

If you must VERY dry and with a strong burn. Very little taste of either sugar or sugar cane and a strong earthy after taste. Good enough (barely) to use in

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale

Passable You don't have to drown this one with fruit juices to make it palatable. On par with the basic Appleton "Special Gold" as a mixer but definitely much

Appleton Estate White

It's better than most at it's price range You're looking for a "Very Good" rum to have instead of the wretched Bacardi white, this one will amply do the trick at a similar or lower price.

Brugal Extra Viejo

not bad as a mixer but kind of harsh to have straight. Ideally mixed with a fruit nectar or sugar cane syrup

Brugal Especial Extra Dry

Slightly better than straight alcohol... replaces Vodka or straight alcohol quite advantageously when making punches or Sangria

nothing to write home about Basic fruity cocktail rum, strong chemical/alcohol smell & taste. You might as well be drinking cheap vodka

It wouldn't even get a 1 If it wasn't for the bottle... ...that is kind of cute and very recognizable. This wretched mixture would not be found on this list but rather in the automotive section under "anti

Pumpkin Face White

Oh my God this thing is horrible!!!!!! I'd give it a 0.5 (or a 0.0) if I could. According to the labeling, this is an ‘ultra premium’ Dominican Rum. I'll agree if by that they mean an "Ul
