Anyone that says budget is out of their mind, this is rum as it's meant to be. It's beyond incredible. It's so well blended and balanced. Straight it tastes amazing and in coke it tastes amazing. It's sweet but not over powering.

Papas Pilar Dark 24-year

Its literally almost maple syrup 8.5 This is a really unique rum and I like how its bottle is unique to compliment it. Opening it you smell straight up cask brown sugar and maple. It

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Like getting bozo the clown for your kids 2nd birthday party. Let's start like this, whoever said they drank this neat is a lying sack of ship. I like bold rums, I am quite the fan of navy rum for this reason. No

Appleton Estate 21-year

A very finely tuned Appleton rum. This is darn good stuff, like real good. Smooth smooth smooth. It's not that complex do to the fact it's so well blend together for their demise. I me

It's good, out of it's price range though. The bottle has been changed to a simpler but still elegant bottle however we are here to talk about what's inside. Zacapa is a well balanced smooth an

Very very unique. What I like most when I look at my bottles is when I can call for a particular drink, such as I want a "bumbu and coke". Meaning that the rum itself h

Diplomatico Blanco

Why is everything spinning Now this is some good stuff. It's a white rum straight which it is what it is, little too much of a bite but with a touch and I mean a touch of coke t

Kilo Kai Spiced

I regret delaying this purchase for so long. From the bottle it literally smells exactly like dubble bubble gum. Its color is so nice in the bottle but it says "caramel color" on the bottle so I

Papas Pilar Blonde 3-year

Blonde is the new white Cool bottle and when it comes to thick base bottles that is a good indicator of quality. Dont ask me why or how but anytime a bottle has a thick base

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Excellent sipping choice Well, Plantation has easily the most consciousness marketing department that existed. All the way from the box to the bottle no corners were cut. I

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-year

The flavor lives up to the bottle Very pretty bottle, opening it you get a smell of Oak, Caramel, Chocolate and no real alcohol smell. Kinda smells like maple syrup. In the glass its

Vizcaya VXOP 21

Brugal VXOP It's really not that good honestly. It's simple beyond words. Its 85% oaky 10% vanilla and some sugar and trace other things. The bottle is nice to ha

Angostura 1919 8-year

A simple review for a simple rum A lot like vizcaya however it's more oaky and burns more. Very simple rum but makes a solid rum and coke.

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

A good staple Mount Gay is a quality product to the world of rum. Mount Gay serves a great bridge point to all drinkers. It is not sweet enough to scare away those

Bacardi Oakheart

I hate bacardi but this was really good. Honestly this is a good rum even excluding value. Mind you it's nothing distinguished from sub 20$ "aged/gold" rums but really it's actually quite go

El Dorado 21-year

It's good El Dorado is interesting. It smells very bland and boring in the bottle/glass, typical stuff you smell from any non-commercial rum. However drinking i

Flor de Caña Extra Dry 4

Stellar white rum. Flor De Cana doesn't really strike my fancy, they are drier rums that even with age are still harsh so I don't prefer them. I bought this bottle just

Cockspur 12-year

The nice guy you wish would ask out the girl but never does. I am actually very surprised at how good this stuff is. In the glass it seems basic as any other rum, vanilla oak and the cask. Taking it straight is

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Makes a very good rum and coke I always like the smell of appleton estate. Its smokey with a hint of vanila and oak cask with some sweetness in it, very unique smell. Honestly if yo

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

The blue label but smoother Popping the cork you get a very wooded oak smell from it and only the tiniest trace of alcohol in there which a tinge of possibly fruit. In the glass

Thomas Tew Authentic

Not one neat but a really good Rum and Coke I will leave my old rating behind. I still am not happy with that bottle however I poured some in coke this time and wow is that some good stuff. Don'

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Let it breath for 15 minutes, but better options for price. Low 8 Popping off the top it smells like diplomatico and brugal. So this will be on the sweeter side. Little cinnamon spice if im not mistaken, no a

Tommy Bahama Golden Sun

Very similar to pusser's blue label and that is a good thing. This is a low 8 high 7 Honestly one of my favorite of all rums is Pussers *but this is Tommy B* Yes I know. But pop the cork off and pussers and Tomm

Gosling's Family Reserve Old

It comes with a pretty box You're gonna need to let her breathe first. I let it sit for 5 min and that wasn't enough I might update this later. Yeah it's harsh at first lots of

Clement XO 6-year

Yes no. It's literally identical to the vsop in taste except more dry and peppery. Not a great sipper. Very harsh with strong dryness sensation. The dryness

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-year

I cant see anything beating this at its price point This is a 8.5 There is a Caribbean themed bar around the corner that serves this rum almost exclusively in its mixed rum drinks and its didn't bring

Sailor Cherry's 7.5 nearing 8 land but I will give 8 for its price I really like sailor jerry's. I actually call it sailor cherry's because of its strong cherry tas

Botran Solera 1893 18-year

In a rum far far overpriced It's nothing atypical of a rum. It's a very standard oaked vanilla rum with a lot of cinnamon/allspice in the back. Horrible straight. It acts like a

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

After much hesitation I was disappointed. I walked past this bottle a sum total of 400 times and never pulled the trigger on it because something always seemed like a better buy for it's price

English Harbour 5-year

Just needs yoga pants and a north face. It's your basic more premium shelf rum but it's very harsh and basic to no forgiveness. Okay in cola but definitely not straight. Price value is awful

Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva

If you have to actively remember how a rum is when typing a review it's not that good I was at my friends pirate party and among the pile of sh!t rum on the counter I saw this little guy wedged in the back, I couldn't believe it. Not li

Brugal Especial Extra Dry

Average white rum In terms of basic white rums go this is as basic as it gets. White vanilla oak. The slight harshness. blhablhablahablh put it in coke and you get a ba

Flor de Caña 18-year

Backwards we go Flor de Cana are interesting rums in the fact they get worse the older they are. The extra dry is amazing for a white rum being super smooth and well

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Dry and smokey The bottle is gorgeous so that is a really nice feature. Popping the cork it smells like that bold rum I like. Not magical smelling, alcohol, oak,vani

Diplomatico Añejo

You will be very happy with this one. High 7 almost an 8 This rum is a great value. Is it complex? No, its pretty standard as far as rums go. Vanilla oak with some sweetness and molasses

Clement VSOP 4-year

This has to be woodford reserve bourbon. So it isnt corked. Boo caps are lame, cork it please. Opening it and smelling it smells exactly and I mean to no exaggeration it smells exactly like W

Cruzan Estate Diamond Dark

Pretty good for the price. I really like cruzan, it just fits my pallet. Opening it you get the vanilla oak flavor with some spice in the back. Very nice smell. Drinking it stra

Gosling's Black Seal

Excellent mixing choice and definite bar staple. This is a darn good value for money rum. It smells very unique from other rums. A definite molasses is there. Drinking it straight is ok. Not super kn

Liquid Apple Fritter. RumChata is a unique entry of cream rums. Its good but with all these special types of rums its hard to rate them because this is a one of a kind type

Appleton Estate V/X

This is a good standard forsure It's like 20$ a bottle, is it magical? No. Is it jet fuel? No. It's just good. Not something you would sip straight, it's harsh. However it is really

The Mix all rum This rum is just amazing for what it is, For once its very cheap I think its like 10$ a fifth here, compared to morgan which is 17-18$. Is it an AMA

Pretty good for the price. First this is a 7.5 in my book. Drinking neat isn't the best idea because it is somewhat harsh upfront, but not harsh in a terrible front to back way

Admiral Nelson's Premium Spiced

Surprised by this one at 10$ a liter This is a low 7 high 6 but its price makes it unbeatable. So whenever I see this bottle its on the bottom shelf even below Bacardi and captain so I a

Pyrat XO Reserve

Orange you gonna drink that Pyrat? 7.5 Well first pyrat is not 15 year rum. Its a blend that is made partly of 15 year rum but the majority of it its 5 year. If you been in this game a

Appleton Estate White

Very good mixer First this IS NOT what appleton white looks like. Its a clear rum like bacardi superior. Smells of STRONG vanilla and light alcohol. Drinking a white

Something was wrong with mine from the factory. I fixed it. UPDATE: Whenever I drink rum I let them breath in the glass for about 10 minutes. I did the same when I originally posted this rum and the initial res

So-so as far as basic white rums go. I dont drink my whites straight, 99% of the time its a bad idea. Whites are meant to mix. Not like it was an intention, just when you age rum less the

Whaler's Original Dark

Its like kraken. Very sweet smell coming from this one right out the cork. Of fruit and maybe some toffee. No real alcohol smell. In the glass it smells like straight

Give me rum till I float. Not sugar. I actually really like the Cruzan flavored rums. The only gripe I have with them is they are 42 proof, ideally I would like that 80 proof but o well.

Barcelo Gran Anejo

As average as this review It's like Appleton V/x that is harsher with more vanilla and less molasses. Doesnt mix that well with diet coke as you would expect. Still it's okay f

Captain Morgan Private Stock

This isn't the rum you are looking for It's like kraken if kraken didn't suck. Not a smooth sipper, thick oily and sweet but gets way too much heat. I don't care for it that much because of

Chila Orchata Cinnamon Cream

Rhum Chata is better This is a straight up knock off of Rhum Chata it even has the gold cap to boot. Here is the deal with this, you're gonna mix this. You don't sit in yo

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Uneventful for what you pay Its uneventful for 15 years. 15 year rum should be a smooth sipper at this age, but its not. Very harsh upfront burn which shouldn't be existent in t

Better than malibu and beats the price I like it. I wouldn't drink it often because its too sweet but around here its like 10$ a fifth. Very very sweet and has a more natural tasting coconu

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-year

Captain So-so Captain Morgan really gave a lot of people their start and most pay nostalgia to it for that reason but as a rum its average at best. Usually priced a

Blue Chair Bay Coconut

Cruzan is better at half the price. It's natural coconut and sweet but it's just not good. It enters good then goes harsh (even at 26.4% alcohol which is low) with a strange tinge of unr

Shellback Silver

Seems like flavored vodka. Smells like straight vanilla from the bottle, cool. In the glass it smells much the same. Kind of like a vodka sniff, which I dont like because vodka

Captain Morgan White

If there was a machine that made white rum this what would come out Its okay at best, I mean if you are out of town and all there is is one of those gas station/movie rental/liquor store all in one places this one wil

Kraken Black Spiced

A good entry to the world of better rum but only so so The bottle is totally one of the most unique out there for sure. Smelling it from the bottle it smells like cotton candy, so much sweetness smell it's

Prichard's Key Lime

Yo dawg I heard you liked sugar so we put sugar in your sugar It's a mess. 70 proof mess. It's like this little bit of sweet lime, quite a bit of heat for 70 proof and then a metric a$$load of sugar. One thing I
