This could be my next favourite! It's dark colour, elusively smooth aroma that hints slightly at spice and caramel does little to prepare you for how smooth this goes down. I could ju

Dictador 1979 Best of

Yes it's worth it. Smooth rich flavours of leather, caramel, molasses, liquorice with a slight nutty finish and a subtle natural sweetness that is perfectly balanced. Th

Diplomatico 2004

A toffee sweet in a glass The rich toffee, honey, caramel, vanilla flavour and a spice aftertaste that remind me of a childhood hard candy. Smooth, almost soothing. This is a l

Atlantico Platino

Smooth, I'm normally a bit apprehensive about white rum, but this is a different creature. Very light on the nose, just a subtle sweet coconut (pina colada) a

Dictador XO Perpetual

Lovely stuff. A nice dark amber colour and a strong caramel, vanilla and spice aroma sets the expectation for a taste delight. Once sat for a minute or two it does

Appleton Estate Limited Edition 30-year

One of the best makers in my opinion. Colour and aroma are 10 easily with complex aromas of carmel, vanilla, touch of all spice and strong citrus, but the taste doesn't quite deliver what

Facundo Exquisito

Rich, smooth, and flavourful. The first thing that grabbed me was the wood, but not overly bitter. Then the cherry, pineapple, molasses finishing with a slight vanilla and coconut

Flor de Caña 18-year

El Dorado 21-year

Rich smooth taste. Worth savouring. Miles apart from it's younger 15 year old sibling. A completely different creature I would say. The 21 is dryer, less sweet. Richer in woody caramel a
