Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

The best. Period. I've tried hundreds of rums, and have I've 75 different types in my cellar at home. I have 4 cases of this. It's that fantastic. Rich and creamy, heav

El Dorado 12-year

Really, really good One of the best sipping rums available. It's my second favorite, and one that I alway buy on trips to the store, no matter how much that I already hav

Very good This, and Solera 23, are the best rums that are widely available. This will be the best that most people will be able to find. A bit harsh with the oa

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Very close to XO, at a fraction of the price. This is pretty much my standard rum, what I serve to guests in a normal setting. It's good enough for the rum snobs, and will wow the typical drinker

Zafra Master Reserve 21

On par with Zacapa 23 Good, but it has too much harshness from oak. Sip able, but not for long. Drink it occasionally, but don't make it a regular.

Atlantico Private Cask

Better than most Clean, good flavor so, not too hot, but hard to find.

Atlantico Reserva

The best of the Atlanticos Much better than it's Atlanntico siblings, but too hard to really enjoy regularly or in quantity.

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Good, but that's all This is an above average rum, but nothing to go out of your way for. The bottle/presentation is great.

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Ok, but buy the 12 year instead The 12 year El Dorado us spectacular, but adding 3 years turns it into the much harsher 15. If you have a choice, get the 12 instead of this.

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Great presentation, average taste Great nose, but the taste just doesn't live up. It's good, but not great.

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-year

Buy if it's the top rum available where you are If this is the best that your store has, you'll be ok buying this, but there are many much better rums out there. Too much burn and oakiness to realiz

Angostura 1824 12-year

Edges out 1919 Looks far richer and gives the impression of much more developed flavors that 1919, but only tastes slightly richer. A disappointment.

Flor de Caña 12-year

A bit harsh This is probably the highest rated rum that I would only use as a mixer, no sipping. The sipping quality just isn't there.

Vizcaya VXOP 21

Great bottle, good rum. Very developed flavors and quality that surprised me. I don't drink it regularly, but I wouldn't turn it down. I bought it for the bottle, but was ple

Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced 4-year

Just ok A good bit if harshness, and not a lit if flavor, but good for mixing.

Gosling's Family Reserve Old

Pretty package, but no substance Very expensive, and a spectacular presentation, but hot, harsh, and bitterly oaky. Not worth the price at all.

Pyrat XO Reserve

Doesn't impress me Pretty highly rated on a lot of sites, but I just consider it medium-average.

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Just ok Not fad, but it doesn't gave the richness and depth of flavors that I consider to be indicitive of quality rum.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Too hot for my tastes Very hot, average flavors, and too hot of a finish. Not worth your time.

Angostura 1919 8-year

Thin flavors Not bad, but almost tastes watered down. The flavors are faint.

Santa Teresa 1796

It's pretty good I think that the young rums in the blend are poor enough that the older ones can't make up the slack. Sounds great on paper, but is only middle of the

Needs sweetness Fairly hard to find. The flavors are weak, and could benefit from some sweetness. Mor oak than I like to have in a rum.

El Dorado Cream tops this. The initial taste is good, but the blend of spices is off-putting and too much. Maybe mix it with coffee, but find something to mix it with.

El Dorado 21-year

Very disappointing For what this rum costs (2 to 4x more than others), you are better suited to buy mire bottles if another type. El Dorado 12 is the best that they make

Cruzan Black Strap

Very smoky Very smoky, but lacks the sweetness that it desperately needs. Good with Coke.

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Slightly above average Great bottle, mediocre an unremarkable rum. Looks impressive, but the quality taste just isn't present.

Saint James Royal Ambre 18-Mois

Disappointing. A step up from Bacardi. I think that they are shooting for a sipper, but it greatly misses the mark.

Myers's Original Dark

Mix it up I agree with others. Use it for a rum and Coke, but leave it there.

Bacardi Superior

Stunningly bad Thus gas to be what 85/15 gasoline tastes like. Don't buy it to drink it.

Mixer to impress If you're trying to impress your friends that buy cheap white rum, the gold color will do it, but that's all that it's good for. Doesn't really deserv

When you can't find Malibu Nothing more than a knockoff of Malibu. Flavor tastes oily and artificial. Mixer only.

Seven Fathoms Premium

Colored white rum? Pretty much just tourist rum. The poster child for soul less small company commercial rum.

High schooler rum It sounds exotic, and will get you drunk quicker than regular Bacardi rums, but that's the limit of its abilities.
