Origenes Don Pancho Reserva 8-year

Very young, but very complex, too This rum is very young, but it's got all a good rum has got to have. In the nose there ist oak and butter. The oak is on the tongue, too, with some al

Saint James Quintessence 6-year

Agricole, the way I like it Smooth, a bit smoky in the nose and on the tongue. But also prunes and coffee.Very nice and long aftertaste of toffee. Like every Agricole: not sweet.

El Pasador de Oro Gran Reserva

Sweetness, oak, alcool That's about the order of tastes that you experience sipping this rum. Not too bad though if you like rather light rum. Which, from time to time, I do

Abuelo Oloroso Sherry Cask 15-year

If you like sherry ... ... and very sweet Sherry as for that: This is one for you. I do like sherry, but this rum is too much. Too sweet. It is very agreable to the nose (pl

Opthimus 25-year

Classical The nose gets nuts, honey and prunes. In the mouth there is more of the same, a bit of oak and toffee. Long lingering. All in all very round. Class

A. H. Riise Non Plus Ultra Very Rare

Excellent I've been told, Riise rums are very sweet. So, this one is. And is not. First in the nose: tobacco and a bit of vanilla. Mouth: Actuelly and rea

And now to something completely different Agricole. No melasse, but cane (and vanilla) in the nose. Cane, vanilla and plum in the mouth, alcohol too. Long reminiscence in the palate: Cane

Opthimus Port Finish 15-year

You have to like Port though I so - and that's why I like this rum. In the nose: Vanilla and Caramel. The palate feels chocolate (toffee), vanilla and coffee. Then a lon

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Very smooth, sherry and wood Putting your rum into bourbon casks first, then into casks of two different kinds of sherry, seems to be a very good idea. This rum has vanilla and

Gosling's Family Reserve Old

A rum that needs time to sip - and air to breathe Very dark complexion. Not much in the nose - except vanilla and tobacco. This rum needs time to develop its taste. It is then full of tobacco, oak and

Quorhum 30-year

Very mature, sweet and round In the nose I find sugar, honey and a bit of vanilla. To the eye it is a dark and mature look. In the mouth, I find not as much sugar as to expect by

Appleton Estate 21-year

Very complex, tends to get underrated This is a very complex rum - one that tends to be underrated. There ist orange and oak in the nose, more oak and some cacao and nuts in the mouth, pep

Rum Nation Panama 21-year

A bit rough; but I like that Tobacco, sherry and some kind of wood in the nose. Then dried fruit and still some sherry on the tongue. The finishing a bit rough and burning first -

Plantation Multi-Island

Not too soft In the nose: a lot of plum. Toffee on the palate, together with some wood cask. Some nice fire when finishing. All in all: not too soft, not too smoot

Karukera 2004 Double Maturation 8-year

Very round, very smooth Now this is a rum that surprizes. It has a very rich body, but is not overly sweet. Pretty strong, but nor burning.

Los Valientes 20-year

Surprising - I did not know... ... that there exists such a thing a Mexican rum. Very good Mexican rum, as for that. Caramel in the nose, lots of oak on the tongue. It does not real

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Lots of oak Lots of oak, no added sugar (or, at least, just a tiny littel bit) - both in the nose and on the tongue. Unfortunately not very lasting on the palate.

Foursquare 2004 Zinfandel Cask Blend 11-year

Somehow somewhat cheating Namely: When you smell at it, it is lovely, fruity and tasty. It ist still so in the mouth, but only after one has absorbed the shock of cask strength

Punta Cana 15-year

Vanilla and Whisky Right from the start, there is vanilla in your nose. The tongue will feel whisky to start with, but a vanilla closing. Unfortunately, there ist no not

Karukera Vieux 3-year

Very light, a bit too much alcool Very young, indeed. But, if one likes Agricole, not the worst addition to one's collection. Very nice sipping rum.

Bacardi Reserva Limitada

Don't get fooled by the name "Bacardi" This ist not the stuff you see in all the cinema advertisments. This is very good and solid stuff. Sweet fruits in the nose. A bit too burning on the

La Mauny XO Hors D’Age 10-year

Smokey The nose gets fruits, especially lemon. On the tongue, it gets a little rough and smokey. Oak? It reminds me of some whiskies I've had. I like that in

Rhum JM XO 6-year

A bit rough on the tongue but still excellent. Sage and other spices, the finishing of some sweet white wine. Not to forget the bourbon that was in the barrells before. Probabl

Penny Blue XO Batch 001

Batch #002 The nose smells orange and some oriental spices.They disappeare on the tongue, where I have oak and dates. The oak lasts as a very smooth aftertaste.

Dos Maderas Luxus

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Not if you're into sweet rums This rum ist not for you if you like the sweeter kinds of rum. It ist actually pretty 'dry'. A lot of oak, a bit of toffe, a little bit mor of coffee.

Something a little different This rum puts you somehow back into ancient times. Times, when rum could smell and taste strong and down to earth. Petrol, leather.

Plantation Guatemala XO Extra Old Reserve

You almost can't go wrong with Plantation Neither with this one. Very round, very smooth - no edges. Vanilla, chocolate: A rum for beginners as well as aficionados.

Savanna 2006 Cuvee Maison Blanche 10-year

Actually it would have been 8.5... ... but this is not possible here. Anyway: It looses a bit because alcool in the beginning, just before the oak (?) cask sets in. There is some sweetn

Mezan 2007 Trinidad

Trois Rivieres Cuvee de l'Ocean

Strange odour Actually, I bought this rum because of the silly bottle. And because it is an agricole. In the nose there ist a very strange odour of seeweed and rott

Flor de Caña 12-year

Less sweet than I expected And that is fine with me. A bit of vanilis, blended with some oak. Not too lasting though - pity.

Aldea 2001 Familia

No body Not quite a typical "agricole". There is oak, some caramel. Unfortunately, there is no body that would keep these things together. So, once swallowed,

Vanilla in the nose... Vanilla in the nose; coconut, cacao and oak on the tongue. Almost perfect if you do not like your rum too sweet. Unfortunately, there is not much left

Santos Dumont XO

I expected worse Brazilian rum? Well yes. And not too bad, either. Toffee and coffee in the nose. More coffee than toffee. On the tongue, it is the other way round. Th

Clement Premiere Canne 9-Mois

Quite nice Citrus and sugar cane in the nose. Citrus and something I cannot define in the mouth. Reminds me vaguely of Absinthe. The whole thing very volatile -

Bristol Classic 1998 Caroni

Strange kind of Rum It starts very smooth: lots of fruit. Then - mostly in the palate - there sets in some heavy oak. One must like that. I, for one, do. The finishing ag

Real McCoy Single Blended 12-year

Not quite balanced Dates and apricots in the nose. A bit smokey on the tongue, with dates again and licorice. So far, so well. The finishing starts in the same direction

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

A rum for everyone Too sweet for my tast, to much vanilla, too much sugar. But certainly something for a beginner.

Old Monk Supreme

Silly bottle A silly bottle, but it caught my eye - that's what it is for, I suppose. The rum is very decent, lots of oak, little sugar - the way I like it. It bur

Bonpland Blanc 40

As soft as the red variety I can only repeat what I wrote to Capulet & Montague Bonplan Rouge: "Very smooth, very soft. Not much in the nose, agreable in the mouth, though. Easy

Soft Very smooth, very soft. Not much in the nose, agreable in the mouth, though. Easy summer-drink, I'd say.

Rum Nation Reunion 7-year

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Not quite up to its fame "Plantation" is quite well known, and so I thought, I might as well try one, too. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to its fame. It is excellent i

Botran Solera 1893 18-year

Cheater? Very dark brown rum; but I am afraid, that is because of some color added. Smells of wood and alcool, tastes like wood and alcool. With time, it is sl

A. H. Riise 1888 Copenhagen Gold Medal

Very nice smell (fruit and a bit of cinnamon), but on the palate it is simply much too sweet (sugar, cinneman and --- ginger(?!)). One must like that; I do not.

Starts well - but there is no finishing With licorice and some oak in the nose, this rum starts off weel enough. But it does not confirm on the tongue, where the alcoolic burning takes over

Pyrat XO Reserve
