Discarded Banana Peel

Totally unexpected pour I hate stunts. I generally despise additives. I definitely don't care for flavorants. So you could say I was not expecting good things from the label.

Foursquare 2010 Indelible 11-year

Lovely Nice tingle on the palette. Had a good peppery molasses profile with a lot of barrel and honey flavors. Superb.

Doctor Bird Pot Still

Plantation Original Dark

Love it but it's not oftd Which... Of course it's not. But as it turns out I love the heat of oftd. This has a similar dried apricot, dried peach, caramelized banana thing. It'

Santiago de Cuba Anejo Superior 11-year

An excellent Cuban rum I only had a single pour and not much time to reflect. The flavor profile is overall one of fruity distillation. I get distinct cognac flavors. There'

Angostura 1919 8-year

Very nice flexible rum It's a lovely rum. Starting backwards the finish is amazing and reminds me of high proof bourbon. An amazing delicate back of the throat tingle and hi

Borders on maraschino rum I'm interested in trying this in a Hemingway daiquiri because it tastes like it is average rum splashed with maraschino liqueur. I'm not an expert in

Berry Bros & Rudd 2010 Mauritius 9-year

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Tasty rum, nice for sipping and carries well in cocktails Tasty rum, nice for sipping and carries well in cocktails. There's just something holding me back from loving this. There's a hint of fresh paint in t

Papas Pilar Dark 24-year

i just don't get the higher reviews. this is so cloyingly fake maple syrup sweet that i really just cannot stomach it. if anyone wants the 85% of a bottle i have left stop over, you can t

Diplomatico Selección de Familia

Not too shabby. There's a taste on the tip of my tongue that I can't name but really like. I keep wanted to say green peppers... But nah. Not that. Anyone I'm not usu

Diablesse Clementine Caribbean

Not sure what's going on here. This might not be for me. It's loaded with so much spices that it smells and tastes like cheap store brand root beer and tastes like it too, including

Marlin Spike Blended Aged

Surprising sipper and nice in cocktails A nice amount of age and wood here. Lovely complex light caramel and notes of roasted corn. Has just a nice hint of tingle and burn but it's not harsh

Tasty I'm not a huge Agricole guy but this is pretty nice. Blunt force trauma from the banana wrapped in fresh mowed lawn that hits you on the first sip. Si

Don Papa Small Batch

Not really sure what I'm drinking. They use additives, cloying cheap sweeteners, some kind of pruny syrup probably for coloring which absolutely adulterated the taste. I have only 2 tho

Ron Zacapa Centenario XO Premio Platino

Perfect Perfect. Nose is candied oak and honey fruits. The taste is really lovely. A little sting and tongue tingle ay the start and finish. The main taste is

Takamaka St Andre Grankaz 4-year

Never heard of them. Now I want more Tried the st Andre series, specifically the grankaz. Weird name amazing rum. It's a blend of their own 4 year aged in New French oak and foursquare 8

Some surprises and depth I decided to try this very carefully and systematically. I really tried to taste deeply into it and find things it reminds me of. I taste something th

Gosling's Black Seal

Spoiler. Dark and stormies kinda suck and so does this rum Tried it blind. I'm no taste expert but ya. I immediately noted it as something cheap and designer. Tastes of something like burnt green grass and a l

Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva

Lots of whiskey barrel on the nose This is a nice affordable rum for your bourbon friends. I kinda forgot I poured it for a bit and kept saying "what's that smell" (in a good way). Fina

Wing walker Premium Spiced

Says spiced on the label so I assumed I would hate it. The word spiced isn't really found heavily on their marketing or promo stuff. Perhaps a zealous sampler labler did this to me? (this

Brugal 1888 Gran Reserva Familiar

Wow. This is fantastic. A nose with dark chocolate and cherry liqueur. Maybe something green in there too. Doesn't hit the tongue with heat, it's so smooth. But the tingle on

Equiano Original 8-year

Lovely dryer rum This is really excellent. Lovely fruit. Some citrus and a spicy apple peel flavor. Has a terrific linger and tingle which makes it feel like a higher

Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve 6-10 Years

Interesting but not a favorite This was an interesting taste. Sipped neap out of a plain rocks glass. A lovely nose of raw and candied ginger. Similar initial flavor as well as heav

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

A surprisingly agile sipper This is a very nice sipper. It also adds a nice non cloying sweetness to cocktails. All in all an excellent pickup and not at all what I expected in a

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Got lucky to taste this without knowing what it was... And it was terrific. About half a sip in I realized that it was something unique. Lots of black pepper and some pepper green taste... Like someone dab

Plantation Barbados 10-year

Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12-year

Brugal Especial Extra Dry

Sure it's plain white rum But you have to rate a rum on its own. Not compared to something like a heavy sugared molasses heavy sipper. As a nice young white rum I think this is

Pusser's British Navy ”Nelson’s Blood” 15-year

fantastic. buy it all that's it. all the best parts of pussers with the rich molasses, barrel, spice, and smoothed out from the age without being like licking a barrel.

Pirate's Grog No. 13

Hot and tasty A lot of heat for a rum aged 13 years with so much barrel taste. Uncomplicated nose presents a lot of alcohol and burnt cane and that's it. I really l

another surpriser sometimes i am in perfect agreement with the bell curve on rum reviews. sometimes i am way out of whack. this is one of those. i found it beguilingly

Mount Gay Eclipse

try it with tonic, it's delicious is what the label says for bottles shipped to the Caribbean. and they are right. that's how i drink this rum, and i always have a bottle around. great

Mezan XO Jamaica

strong on the nose, nice on the palette this has a strong nose, like unaged spirits over raw peeled bananas. but the taste is surprising. the rum has a strong approach when you first sip it.

Trois Rivieres Cuvee de l'Ocean

i'm not a fan of rhum agricole but this is nice. it's got a hint of something on the noise i cant quite place. reminiscent of maybe local tequilas or pulqe or something in mexico? im no

Don Q Gran Anejo

i was surprised at my own rating this rum is fine. it's just a little too much sweetness, a little too much harshness, a little short on spice and character, a little short on barrel.

Pampero Especial

Excellent bottle a true value find Just wish i could get regular. I found this to be lovely. Little too sweet but otherwise nicely spiced. Was fine to drink neat. Anejo is what i had b

Rumbullion XO 15-year

Atlantico Reserva

what a standard bacardi should be. this is very drinkable neat, but would be well with a splash of tonic or in a mojito, or hemingway. i might keep this around.

Diplomatico Planas

don't quite understand the charcoal filtering fad.... i admit it. i'm a barrel and age snob. i was expecting this to be harsh ethanol mixed with a splash of windex. it turns out to be a 6 year aged gold r

That Boutique-y Rum Company O Reizinho Portugal

i struggled with this. i'm not sure if I am right for this rum, as opposed to the other way around. it's a pot still rum from olive oil and madiera wine country in portugal.

Zaya Grande Reserva 16-year

Sigh. No. This is what I'm afraid of with new rums I've not tried before. I got burned with papa's Pilar Hemingway rum... Same thing. This stuff is almost terri
