Foursquare does it right This set a new bar for me today, I just think that everyone should taste this one and than rethink every previous rating of Barbadian rums. Dried frui

Habitation Velier Last Ward 2007

Hampden Estate Pure Single Jamaican Overproof Rum

Strong Jamaican rum This rum is very strong. If you can't enjoy overproof rum you should not taste this one and go for the 46% instead. Fruity rum, no sugar at all as all

Moon Import Rum Guyana "Remember"

Nice Guyana rum Very nice sipper, a lot of vanilla but not too much sugar, definitely worth a try!

El Dorado 12-Year

Very nice sipper Nice sipper, a bit sweet (I know it has a lot of added sugar) but for my personal taste it's bearable. Hints of oak, vanilla and orange peel. Good for

Sweet and aromatic My only problem with this rum is that it's too sweet for me, I would give it a solid 8 but that sugar was too much. Nice vanilla and caramel taste, sw

Moon Import Barbados Remember

Fine Barbados Rum Fine Barbados rum, with typical bananas, cocoa and a great finish. Worth a try if you have the chance.

Ron Abuelo 12 Anos Gran Reserva

Tasty and woody, but not my type I do like the wood in this one and I do like the little burn and the taste of caramel and molasses that you have in your mouth just after you have fin

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Overrated, too much Vanilla Personally I am a big fan of minimum aging politics, so this 23 yo Solera is a big fat lie for me, it is just to impress people that are attracted to

Flor de Cana Gran Reserve 7

Ok Rum, not sweet It's an everyday rum, not sweetened, it's good enough to sip neat, doesn't pretend to be something else.

El Dorado 8-Year

Surprised by this almost not sugared El Dorado I was surprised by this El Dorado, it's quite smooth and has no afterburner, you can sip and enjoy it. I don't think it's better than the 12 year.

Trois Rivieres VSOP

Best Agricole I've tasted, not my type I just have to say that Agricole is not at all my favourite type of rum. I just can't enjoy them, but if you like em you should definitely try this on

Pampero Aniversario

Burn burn burn This rum is just a few seconds of rum and then it's gone, and you are left with a burning sensation. No smooth at all.

Artificial flavour You can drink it and enjoy it, but you have to know that you are drinking something that has probably a lot of artificial flavours. Also very sweet an

Too dry for me Lucky for me I tried it before buying a bottle because it is too dry and I found it not very pleasant. Also a little bit acid.
