Diplomatico Ambassador Selection

Very different from his little brothers This rum is expensive... Of Course! But it stays also very different from it's little brothers from the same brand. Less sweeter and dryer... I like i

Trois Rivieres Blanc 50

T-Punch Rhum! This french agricole rum has some salty notes because of the sugarcane culture wich is near the sea, but it's definitely one of the best rums to use f

Better than the Imperial to me! I compared this one with it's big brother Barcelo Imperial, and I definitely prefer this one! It hasn't the strong tobacco flavour of the Imperial and

Rhum JM Blanc 50

Number 2! It's my number 2 in agricole white rums. From Martinique, like the NEISSON, it's perfect for Ti-Punch!

Abuelo Gran Reserva 12-year

Very smooth! The Abuelo 12 anos is a very smooth rum. Women will like it and I do as well because of its smoothness but also his very sweet side with vanilla notes

La Mauny VSOP 4-year

Good one! The La Mauny VSOP rhum from Martinique is a good complex aged agricole rum.

Rhum JM 1994 15-year

EXCELLENT! This agricole rhum from Martinique is very strong but excellent in its taste! I recommend it!

Clement VSOP 4-year

The dark side... This agricole aged rum from Martinique represents the dark side of the Clément distillery. It has a deep, strong oak aroma (like whisky) and some toba

Angostura 1919 8-year

A gold rum like no other... The Angostura 1919 is a very light but tasty gold rum like no other! Near to it's big brother the 1824, it brings out its sweetness and vanilla aroma.

Pampero Aniversario

Nice one! This Pampero Anniversario rum looks very nice in it's leather purse. It also tastes very nice and strong. Tobacco and wood flavors and some cinnamon a

Pampero Blanco for your mixers! I really like the Pampero Blanco rum for mixers and cocktails! It's a very good choice because it's not too sweet and keeps its strength in the mouth.

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Good mixers rum Plantation Barbados 5 is a nice aged rum, good to use for mixers or to drink neat.

Diplomatico Reserva

Sweet and light... A sweet and light venezuelian rum is this diplomatico, but I personnaly prefer it's old sister, the Reserva Exclusiva. But it's still easy to drink.

Barcelo Imperial

Dark wooden rum! The Ron Barcelo Imperial, is a very dark and woody rum with very strong oak aromas but also coffee, nutmeg and vanilla notes.

Flor de Caña 12-year

Strong and smoky Flor de Cana Centenario is a sweet but strong aged rum (12years) from nicaragua, with some smoky tobacco and oak flavours. Not my favourite but a good

Clement Blanc 40

nice as Ti-Punch This Clément white rum is nice to drink as Ti-Punch or to make some flavoured rum with it like they do in the french antillas.

La Mauny Blanc 50

As TI-Punch I tried out this one as Ti-Punch in Martinique and it's really good. Would recommand it for mixers.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Very smooth... This cuban rum is very smooth with some spicy notes. Not bad at the end of a dinner.

Bologne Blanc 50

I use it to make flavoured rums I use this one sometimes to make my own flavoured rums. Can't drink it neat...

Rhum JM VSOP 4-year

XO VS VSOP If I should select an agricole rhum from the JM collection, this one would stay in my top 3, but the XO tastes better than the VSOP.

Seven Tiki Aged

Nice one! This nice aged rum from the Fidji Islands was the first of my collection and certainly not the badest one. I like it because it has interesting floral

Havana Club Anejo Reserva

A good mixer... I use this one to mix up with coke if their is nothing else...

Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala

Not my favorite Plantation Rum! The Guatemala Gran Anéjo rum from Plantation, isn't the best they do in my point of vieuw.

Saint James Royal Ambre 18-Mois

Nice rum for mixers or spiced rum This gold rum from the Martinique Island in the french carribean is very good to do Ti-Punch or mixers aswell as spiced rums. Strong with some oak and

No good rum but good in cocktails! I use this one in a easy mixer with pineapple juice! It's low rum rate and strong coconut taste makes it taste like your on holiday...

Kraken Black Spiced

Definitely not my taste... This spiced rum isn't my thing! Maybe as a mixer...?

Atlantico Private Cask

Not my taste! Even if they have Iglesias as ambassador, I don't really like this one.

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Not sweet enough! The Sailor Jerry spiced rum is really spiced with strong vanilla and cinnamon (as well as nutmeg) notes but it's not sweet enough into my sense.

Dictador 12-year

Don't like it! I personnaly don't like this one because the tobacco aroma is to strong for me. I wouldn't recommand it!

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-year

Nothing under 15 Unfortunately, the Barbancourt rums aged less then 15 years are not that good! Maybe as mixers.

Strong coffee and herbal flavour This old monk indian rum has a strong coffee and herbal taste. I don't like it but fans of british rums will probably like this one more than me.

Dictador 20-year

Not my taste! Like his young brother, I don't like this rum very much, because it has a (too) strong tobacco taste, but it's a little bit better then the 12 year on

Plantation 2000 Jamaica

Has a typical jamaican glue taste... Unfortunately, this one, like a lot jamaican rums, to me, also has this typical glue taste I don't like.

SangSom Special

Not a good rum! So this bottle of SangSom was probably one of the badest rums I've ever tasted. Thailand wasn't a good rum maker in my mind before and still stays...

Bacardi Superior

Only fame! The most famous rum in the world probably; it's used for a lot of differents cocktails all over the globe (caipirinha, daiquiri, mojito etc) but it's

Negrita Bardinet Signature Dark 2-year

Only good to cook with... This rum isn't rum to me. I only would use it to make some cakes with it!
