“I started to enjoy drinking different rums neat only a few years ago, after literally drinking Bacardi-and-coke since high school. I now have a small collection of about 30 different rums from all over the world in my cabinet and enjoy sharing them with friends.
As with everything: liking and rating rum is a personal experience. Enjoy!”

Special Unmistakable Bundy, with smokey flavours - just as described on the label. I once mentioned the fact I had actually opened a bottle of 101 to a retail

Takamaka Bay Spiced

Smooth vanilla rum It would be very easy to sit back, dream of tropical islands, and finish my whole bottle of takamaka Bay Spices Rum. Very smooth and easy drinking.

Matusalem Clasico 10-Year

Just how I like it Classic dark, smooth rum. Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

Takamaka Bay St Andre 8-Year

One of my favourites Smooth, nice flavours, I drink it neat on special occasions with good friends.

On of the nicest Bundies Smooth, full of flavour. One of the nicest Bundies to my taste. Neat, as well as mixed.

Plantation Barbados 5-Year

Typical Barbados rum Nice 'n sweet rum for on the rocks or neat enjoyment.

Mature dark Bacardi For me the only Bacardi I drink neat, and not mix. Not as smooth as some other dark rums, but still very palatable.

The white Bundy Typical Bundy, but white. Not as strong in flavour as other Bundies, but stil nice.

Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva

Whisky like dark rum Surprisingly whisky like dark rum, a little bit sharp, but nice nontheless.

Bundaberg Original UP

The original My first Bundy rum. The original. Need I say more. Brings back memories of Oz. Drink it neat as well as mixed, both as pleasant as the other. Not to e

Bundaberg Coffee & Chocolate

Unique For the chocaholic rum lovers! Only available in the Bundaberg distillers shop. We bought one bottle in 2000, and made it last more than a decade...!

Nice ' spicey! Nice and spicey dark rum with plenty vanilla. Neat, on the rocks or mixed - nice!

Havana Club 7-Year

The next step up from the 3 year Havana Club A more mature Havana Club medium dark rum. Stylish dark bottle invokes great expectations, but disappoints a little. Nice rum tho'.

Takamaka Bay White

A nice white rum. Not as smooth as the Spiced Takamaka, but then again; it’s a white rum. Brings back memories of tropical Seychelles. I drink it mostly mixed, but some

Appleton Estate Special Gold

Sharpish dark rum. A little bit sharp, but tasty rum, to drink on the rocks or mixed.

Bacardi Oakheart

Nice Nice spiced Bacardi, unpretentious and unsurprising. Thanks to the Bacardi name and global availability wel known and well received. Nice nevertheless

Bacardi Carta Negra

The dark horse Bacardi A nice alternative to the Bacardi Superior, for me a mixer.

Havana Club Anejo Blanco

The alternative for Bacardi For me a perfect alternative to Bacardi Superior, for my rum-and-coke.

Bacardi Superior

The bench mark? Maybe the best known rum out there, and maybe just because of that the rum all others are compared to. Also my first experience with rum, many years a

Havana Club Anejo Especial

Typical Havana Club rum Just the rum to get you into Havana Club rums. Medium dark, for me a perfect mixer.

Zuidam Distillery Flying Dutchman Rum1

Surprising Dutch rum Easy on the nose and palet, light rum. Never knew Dutch rum existed - I am pleasantly surprised. Drank it neat an mixed, both easy drinking.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-Year

Yet to taste A new gift to my cabinet, will taste and rate soon.

Captain Morgan Dark

Nice in a mix Straight rum, fine for a rum-and-coke, not for neat drinking.

Kraken Black Spiced

Undecided Maybe because of the 11 “secret” spices, I find it difficult to enjoy it, position it and rate it. Definitely not bland, but not as smooth as some oth

Bundaberg Overproof

Strong stuff! Very much the Bundy flavour, but too strong flavour to drink neat for me. But in a mix; yes please!

Myers's Original Dark

Confusing Maybe because it is a blend of rums of various ages, I get confused. Not a strong nose, but strong on the palet. I have drank it mixed, but prefer to

Stroh Original 80

Strong stuff The ultimate rum to carry in a hipflask on a night out - and secretly upgrade a plain coke into a rum-and-coke. Strong flavour and ditto alcohol, not

Bacardi Coconut

Great for alcoholic icecream Not a rum I consider drinking neat, but a winner for making fresh ice cream and frozen desserts, or in Pina Colada.

Too much Not a rum I would drink neat, best used in fruity summer cocktails that require lemon.

Too fashionable Too much flavour, but therefore very nice in (frozen) desserts. Not to drink neat.
