Foursquare Bourbon Cask Strength

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

Mount Gay 1703 Master Select

Very complex rum for special occasions Did a Masterclass with Mount Gay ambassador, Mr Chester Browne, who was really fabulous and a great man. Had this one as the last one in the tasting,

You'll never be the same I'm glad I bought this one on a very special occasion to celebrate. This is the rum I was looking for. Export proof 46 abv, you expect it to burn you

Let it rest 1 hour in the glass To all reviewers that gave this rum less than a 6, please give it a try and let it rest in your glass. If you do drink it right after you have poured

El Dorado Special Reserve

Fruity and a great smell Tried this today and well it is very different from the 12 year. First of all I found it less sweet, although the test results says they have almost t

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Smooth rum This rum is really smooth and has a wonderful taste. It will leave you very satisfied and with the desire to drink another one!

Habitation Velier Last Ward

Strong but very good This is very strong (59) so if you are not into strong rum you should avoid this one. Otherwise a true Barbadian rum, lot of exotic fruit, almonds, va

Appleton Estate Rare Blend

You just want to drink another one This was a surprise for me, it's very dark and mysterious as others has said. Strong taste in your mouth at the first sip, it just need a bit to fully

Hampden Estate Pure Single Jamaican Overproof

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 Jamaica "I Pappagalli"

Peculiar, long tobacco ending This is a special edition, very strong (45 °), it needs some time in the glass to rest. No sugar at all like all Jamaican rum. Big kick in the mouth o

Mount Gay Black Barrel

Great on the nose, not so great in the mouth Edit: Did a Masterclass with Mount Gay ambassador, Mr Chester Browne, who was really fabulous and a great man. Had this one in the tasting but I think

Foursquare Premise

Dry and Sherry Very dry rum, not sweet at all, spicy at a first taste, after two or three sip you can definitely taste the sherry. Maybe too much sherry for my taste

Moon Import Guyana "Remember"

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

El Dorado Versailles

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.

First Agricole I would drink again It would be a 6 but I'm so impressed that I think it deserves a 7, because I'm always so severe with Agricole that this one may have changed my mind.

Liquorice If you do like liquorice indeed you should taste this one. I do not like it very much in rum, it covers a lot. Smell was more promising, no sweet in t

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

Abuelo 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

Appleton Estate Reserve Blend

Strong but without character Tried this rum at a Christmas dinner, I have the 12 year rare blend at home so I was curious about this one. I found this too much strong and disappoi

Flor de Cana Gran Reserve

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.

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

Plantation Trinidad

Fruity rum First Plantation rum in my life, I think this could be a solid 7 if it didn't bore me so much. The rum is nice, the smell is a little bit alcoholic bu

Brugal Extra Viejo Reserva

Not so special Not a very special rum, I expected more. It taste like it was diluted. Chocolate is the dominant taste in this rum. No burn. Won't buy the bottle. Not

Alcohol and vanilla Strong smell of alcohol, vanilla is so strong that it feels sweet, very sweet, which is strange, because all hygrometer test results were 0. Vanilla f

Pyrat XO Reserve

Disappointed, could have been good I'm really disappointed, maybe even pissed, because the actual rum behind the wall of added flavour must be great. Too bad someone dropped a whole ba

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

Diplomatico Mantuano

Sweet and sharp Too sweet in the nose, surprisingly sharp in the mouth, doesn't have a good finish and leaves your mouth just dry. Won't ever buy a bottle, doesn't wo

Nothing special Maybe a slight better than the extra anejo reserva, it is a bit stronger and aggressive. But not my type, this is not what a rum should taste for me.

Rum only in the process Is this a Rum? Yes, by definition it surely is. But it just stops there. The best thing I can compare it to is cachaça. But it is a second cousin of c

Added vanilla Not sure in what form but surely someone at some point added in a mysterious way a lot of vanilla in this one. Not a good sipper, the bottle may tempt

Zafra Master Reserve 21

Too sweet Didn't like this at all, I was at a rum tasting and this was the biggest disappointment. Maybe the other barrel proof I had earlier didn't help this o

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.

Don Papa Small Batch

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.

Havana Club Blanco

Do not sip Just use this for cocktails for people who doesn't have any sense of taste for rum at all.

Pampero Anjeo Especial

Even mixed it is bad Just avoid, drink neat coke or just water, it's pointless if you're older than 18
