A Gold Rum with a Hint of Spice (Captain Morgan It Is Not) This is a tasty all-around rum, great for a rum & coke. I gave it an extra point because there are NO sugars added after distillation, which is a plu

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-year

I don't usually like agricoles, but this stuff is exceptional I don't usually like agricoles as they have a more "green" taste. This tastes more like a traditional Caribbean rum to me with a Light sweetness on t

Ron Esclavo XO Cask

So much flavor! Wow! I don't usually sip overproofs, but this is delicious. At 130 proof (65% ABV), this sipper has a lot of heat. Take small sips and let the flav

Bacardi Major Lazer Limited Edition

Tastes better than it smells I wasn't sure about this one at first. Poured neat, there are hints of toffee and caramel apple, but also a bit of a medicinal quality to the aroma.

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Diplomatico Reserva

a bit of sweetness a decent sipper for the price point if you like a bit of sweetness.

French style from the Big Easy If you're looking for another Bacardi style silver, this isn't it. It's more like an agricole, made from sugar cane instead of molasses. Very clean

Captain Morgan Jamaica

Not the same as the Cap'n in the US This isn't the spiced rum that you buy by the gallon in the US. I wonder if that's what a lot of the other reviewers were looking for. This is a Jam

1731 Guatemala Gran Reserva

Not quite rum, but tasty At 15% ABV, this technically isn't rum, but it is one of my wife's favorites and I thought I'd share. This is one of Kenny Chesney's Rum Creams, and

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Like an overproofed Cap'n A good spiced rum for mixing, it has a bit more vanilla and a bit more kick.

Bacardi Superior

Not for sipping, but there's a reason it's the standard Some would chuckle, but in my collection of rum I still keep a bottle of Bacardi and a bottle of the Cap'n. They don't sell this for you to sip, but

Makes a decent rum & coke I like the Bacardi Superior (silver) better in a Cuba Libra (rum & coke with a lime), as it really pops with the lime. If I'm drinking just a rum and

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the Cap'n In college I hated beer, so my girlfriend's dad (now my father-in-law) suggested that I try Captain and Coke. I was hooked. It was another 15 years

Cruzan Estate Diamond Black Strap

A strong dark rum, great for mixing A lot of molasses flavor, not a sipper but great for a unique rum & coke or a bold dark & stormy.

Captain Morgan Black Spiced

Predictably Sweet Smells like rum with chocolate, and tastes syrupy sweet like chocolate with cherries. Not a sipper, but makes a decent twist on a rum & coke.

Shellback Spiced

Okay for mixing It smells more fruity than spicy, which was surprising, but not a lot of flavor. A little vanilla, a little rum, and a bit of alcohol. Not for drink

John Emerald Gene's Spiced

A lot of flavor Not a sipper, and with so much flavor it would have a narrow list of appropriate cocktails. It has an aroma of candied pecans with anise and clove.

decent for the price point, but a little rough around the edges Poured neat, it smells great. Rum, a little oak, a little caramel... The first sip has a lot of heat, though, and isn't very smooth. Would be an ok

Captain Morgan Coconut

Not great I'm not a huge fan of coconut rums. There are a couple I like (Gubba Silver, Siesta Key Toasted Coconut, etc ...), but this pretty much exemplifies t

Trader Vics Spiced

A bit fruity for a spiced rum It reminds be of a sweet white wine, like a Riesling. The fruitiness doesn't sit quite right neat, but mixes okay into a rum and coke. Would also mi

Margaritaville Spiced

will do in a pinch A bit of ethanol and vanilla on the nose. Not to much burn,but a bit of alcohol taste with the flavoring.
