Appleton Estate

Absurdly balanced and complex This rum is okay, funky, vanilla, complex and balanced in every way. Phenomenal balanced rum, not overoaked, just perfect

Hamilton St. Lucia

Funk, vanilla, oak, everything This rum is the epitome of flavor and funk yet balanced with oak, vanilla, caramel, and a touch of thick sweetness to balance the aggressive funk. Sur

Clairin Le Rocher

The mezcal of rum This rum has so much depth of flavor. Deep smoke, vegetal flavors, artichoke, butterscotch. It tastes almost like blending an agricole and an amazing

Best sipping rum Not as sweet as the diplomatico Reservas exclusiva, but with all the complexity and a lot more. Delicious, honey, baking spice, vanilla, caramel, oak,

Absurd rum This rum has more layers of flavor than any liquor I’ve ever tasted. It starts off with the typical Jamaican overripe fruit funk, but is mixed with ru

Habitation Velier Worthy Park

Absurd flavor bomb This rum is intense and flavorful in every Way. Deep bourbon and oak flavors layer with a strongly intense Jamaican funk. Layered flavor in every way.

Habitation Velier Last Ward

Excellent for the style Great for the style. Tons of oak and spice up front, followed by some vanilla and caramel. Not overwhelming with the alcohol, but helps with some dilu

Santa Teresa 1796

Best diplomatico style rum This is essentially the same as the diplomatico vintage series. Very good. Sweet, complex, but not a cocktail in a shot

Neisson L'Espirit of Neisson 70

Absurdly smooth This is the pinnacle of agricole rhum. Aggressive, grassy, fresh, yet not as harsh as many 80 proof rums. Perfect balance

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Epitome of the style This rum is definitely overproof but absurdly smooth and drinkable for 68%. It packs so much deep flavor rather than alcohol burn, with a strong bite

Most flavorful agricole Rhum agricole that’s very heavy on grass, citrus, herbs, and some faint residual sweetness. Excellent and aggressive agricole without some of the usua

Foursquare Port Cask Finish

Rum bourbon hybrid This is an okay, dry, complex rum. Delicious and smooth, yet probably over Oaked a bit. Great rum

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Sweet sipping rum Sweet vanilla and baking spice. Sipping rum, almost a cocktail in itself. Pure caramel/spice/vanilla without any burn or funk.

Hamilton Jamaican Black

Great balanced funky Jamaican rum This is a Jamaican rum that perfectly straddles the line between richness and funk. It’s not overly aggressive like a rum fire, but packs an amazing a

Smith and Cross Navy Strength

Solid over proof jamaican Extremely solid overproof Jamaican with a bit more oak and heft than a Wray and nephew. Still aggressive enough to be great but tamed with other flavo

Great balanced white rum Collaboration between four square and hampden, this is the best of both worlds. The Bajan sweetness and oomph along with a touch of Jamaican funk make

Neisson Rhum Agricole Blanc

Excellent agricole This is an aggressive, aromatic, punchy agricole. It’s not as smooth or sweet as some of the others, but with a more pronounced mango, grassy, almost

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Extremely smooth and balanced Solid smooth rum with a lot of complexity. The sherry is strong on the finish by not overpowering. Excellent sipper, would never use in cocktails

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale

Appleton 12 with more punch This rum is pretty delicious. It has strong oak flavors but not overpowering. Reminds me of Appleton 12 with a hint more complexity and bite from the

Default bottle preview

Tastes harsh in a non-agricole way I’m used to sipping agricoles and loves the grassy, aggressiveflavors. This one is harsh ina different, more fusel alcohol way. I’m not sure the aging

Barcelo Imperial Onyx

The same as regular I’m not sure what the difference is between this and the regular version. It’s a bit smoother and sweeter but with some complexity lost. The regular i

Solid style spanish Good, okay style Spanish rum that’s very balanced overall. Smooth, not overly complex, well balanced

Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal

Solid white rum This rum is well balanced and approachable. It’s not as flavorful as an overproof jamaican, but it has at least some depth of flavor from the blend an

El Dorado Special Reserve

Sweet bourbon-like sipper Very sweet, heavy bourbon and oak notes. Overaged in my taste, and definitely dozed heavily. Vanilla sweetness and heavy oak flavors. Not worth the co

Appleton Estate

Good standard rum Baseline good rum. Has some complexity over the signature blend, more caramel and a tiny bit of funk at the end. A bit of an all around good sipper/mi

Plantation Barbados

Solid rum, not worth the prixe This is a great $30 bottle of rum, not $60. It doesn’t really taste like a 15 year aged rum. It’s a bit harsh up front, thin on the mouth and the fini

Super interesting Salinity, aggressive flavors, but not too intense or harsh. Tastes somewhat like excellent baiju mixed with Agricole

Plantation Guyana

Bourbon This rum is overpacked with oak so much that it tastes exactly like a sweeter bourbon

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Funk bomb This rum is not to drink straight, but mixed or in a daiquiri it’s phenomenal. Archetypical Jamaican rum

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Best flavored rum This is a flavored rum done perfectly. Real, solid flavor instead of artificial feel to it. The base rum is a bit lacking, would like to see a splash

Plantation Fiji

Solid but not great The rum seems to be too muted from the plantation aging process. I’d like to taste this without the plantation elevage

Standard Spanish style Sweet, smooth, vanilla, but not much complexity overall. Fine, nothing special

English Harbour

Fine for what it is This is a pretty clean, neutral rum. Not a whole lot going on, but still smooth and easy drinking

Solid but nothing spectacular This is a standard, typical aged ron. Not a ton of complexity or deep flavors to it, but very clean and nails the typical flavor profile.

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

A very tame Jamaican I was tempted to like this, but it’s just not as complex as it should be. The plantation aging process seems to take away from the flavors instead of

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Good mixing rum Standard rum. Tastes a little harsh, a bunch of barrel flavor, no sweetness. A burn on the end of it. Mixing rum, not sipping rum, but not horrible to

Pampero Aniversario

Fine Spanish rum This rum is just fine. Nothing complex or amazing. Just an average Spanish rum

Havana Club Anejo Especial

Simple straightforward rum Review for the Cuban version. Simple rum, not harsh or any off flavors but no complexity to speak of. Aged well

St. Augustine Pot Distilled

Weird rum range This has the harsh, not well made quality of something like a Bacardi, but has way more depth of flavor than that. Harsh and almost agricole-like, but

Papas Pilar Blonde

Too sweet and artificial This rum has fake maple, vanilla, and other sweet artificial flavors.

Clement Select Barrel

Tastes like bourbon Smells like a very harsh bourbon with some vanilla notes. Flavor subsides into still 90% bourbon but with that 10% Agricole grassy flavor with a touch

Aunt jemima the rum This rum literally tastes like aunt jemima syrup mixed with harsh vodka. Zero complexity, the only saving grace is the sweetness and some smoothness

Gosling's Black Seal

Harsh dark rum Standard dark rum used for some cocktails. Hints of strong molasses but not really any complexity or depth beyond that. Strong alcohol burn despite 80

Worse than the 12 year The slightest little bit of complexity from the 12 year is gone in this one, although it does taste less like straight syrup than the 12 year. Not a g
