Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Best $50 rum This was the rum that introduced me to rums. Smooth sweet and delicious with a reasonable price to boot. Only issue with this rum is I keep buying i

Heaven One of the best drinks I've had the pleasure of enjoying.

Appleton Estate Joy Anniversary Blend

Unique and Excellent The cost is high but well worth it as this is a delicious rum with a nice smooth taste a slight bite to remind you this is a pirate's drink.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Excellent sipping rum for any occasion Gives Zacapa a run for its money and while I remain a Zacapa fan I would never turn down a lovely glass of this tasty rum

Appleton Estate 21-Year

Great sipping experience Pricey but is an enjoyable sipping rum with excellent flavor.

La Hechicera Extra Anejo

Great Colombian rum While there are likely some pricier options out there this is my personal favorite so far from Colombia

Plantation 20th anniversary XO Extra Old

Smooth and enjoyable Nothing overly special but definitely a very good sipping beverage.

Barbancourt Estate Reserve 15-Year

Best screw top rum around Usually I go for corked bottles but this was an amazingly good rum. Big step up from the 8 year.

Don Q Gran Anejo

Well refined rum Good to add variety to an evening of rum tasting due to its unique taste. Sweet for sure but great for sipping.

A competitor Definitely a solid rum I still preferred the Hechicera when it comes to a Colombian rum.

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

Excellent jump from the 12 Much better option than their 12 year this is worth the money for a nice glass neat or on a single cube.

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-Year

Solid but not perfect Well worth sipping on but there is better out there for sure.

Brugal 1888 Ron grand reserve

Surprisingly sweet and smooth This was definitely more sweet than expected but I enjoyed the smoothness of the flavor.

Ron Medellin Gran Reserva 12-Year

Excellent Colombian rum Obviously leaps and bounds over the 3 year this is a nice glass of rum to be enjoyed more than once.

Papas Pilar Dark

A surprising find This was recommended to me by a bartender and I was skeptical but ended up really enjoying it.

Pusser's British Navy

Fine sipper and solid mixer Not bad for whatever the occasion calls for and not overly expensive to boot.

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Shots and mixing only If one wants to live the pirate life this is fire in a glass. Not for sipping but hey that's not the point here. Feel the burn.

Kirk and Sweeney 12-Year

Acceptable Not a bad rum to sip but leaves much to be desired.

Kraken Black Spiced

Fair spiced rum Not a bad spiced rum, certainly preferable to many other alternatives out there.

El Dorado 12-Year

Worth sipping on Doesn't quite excite like its competitors but isn't something I would turn down.

A little disappointing Certainly not a bad rum but not what I was hoping for from the price point even in Colombia.

Seven Fathoms Premium

Good middle of the road Good for sipping but not extraordinary by any means.

Bacardi Oakheart

Middle of the road Definitely could be better but if a spiced rum is what one is craving then it's an acceptable option.

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year

Another rum for mixing Doesn't quite make the cut for sipping on but is all right with ice or as a cocktail.

Appleton Estate Reserve Blend

Great as a cocktail base Not really something to sip on but it makes a mean rum runner.

Drinkable but not very good It can be silped but probably better as a solid mixer

Don Papa Small Batch

Needs some work For a corked sipping rum this did not impress. Definitely not worth it.

Ron Medellin Anejo 3-year

In a pinch If it's the only rum at the bar that's not clear or named bacardi/captain morgan then this is worth the glass.

Bacardi 8 Gran Reserva

If one must Pour on some ice and it's not terrible but definitely not what one might hope for.

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Made to be blended When making a cocktail this is always an acceptable option.

Bundaberg Overproof

Undrinkable This was pretty rough and was not being sold as a mixer. Perhaps if one was inclined to do shots.
