Excellent Bajan It is setting the standard for a Bajan pot still rum for me.

El Dorado 1993 Enmore

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Good stuff An inviting and very nice dark red copper colour. Nice aroma. Surprisingly smooth for a 12yr old Jamaican one with notes of orange peel, light vanilla

Trois Rivieres 5-year

Pretty good for a 5 year old My first entry into Rhum Agricole and am not disappointed. Aged for a minimum of 5 years am impressed how smooth this is and the amount of complexity

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Abuelo Centuria

Very nice indeed Very nice smooth rum with a great aroma and depth of flavour. Interesting though that for a "limited 3000" bottling it's still widely available in

El Dorado 21-year

Very nice...but Manage to get a sample of this after having finished a bottle of both the 12 & 15yo. It's a very nice and very smooth, sweet, spicy with oaky dry fin

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Highly aromatic and funky flavours Highly aromatic, high esters pot still Jamaican rum. The smells and flavour are so funky and different what I have been used to. First Jamaican style

El Dorado 12-year

Great Demerara Rum Great sipping rum although not as smooth as the 15 yr old. However for the price point for this (in the UK) it is better value then the 15 yr old and

One of the better Rum Cream liqueurs Great alternative to the likes of Baileys. A blend of real cream with white overproof Rum resulting in 15%abv in the bottle. Not too sweet for me with

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-year

A Rhum or not a Rum An 8 year old Rhum Agricole that has more in common with molasses based Rum than the Martinque style Rhum produced from fermented sugar cane juice.

Angostura 1824 12-year

Nice sipper A nice and smooth sipper. Hint of sweetness in the aroma with honey & vanilla. Smooth taste, no alcohol burn with a little oaky spicy kick. Finish is

Pungent but pleasantly surprised As per the label the only rum fermented and distilled in England Cambridgeshire. Black strap molasses is used and distilled three times in small batch

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Silky Sweet For me this would be a nice desert drink to finish the evening.

Tomahawk Maple Cream

Bajan Estate XO

Great Marks & Spencers Rum This house brand of the premium supermarket Marks & Spencer caught my eye as the shelf label mentioned C. Ferrand. Could this be a house brand version

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Good easy drinking Rum It's not a bad rum. Has some nice flavours and aroma for a 23 Solera style (probably nearer 6-8 years old and perhaps depending on the blend maybe pus

Good but too close to the 23 I'm not getting a huge amount of complexity. As this is pretty expensive in the UK you would expect a lot more when spending this kind of money. I

Bristol Classic Black Spiced

Appleton Estate V/X

Good Appleton entry level Great entry level from Appleton. Could drink it neat but would say (and as the price point suggest) it is a great “premium” mixer. Good Jamaican si

Opthimus 25-year

sweet, easy drinking Oliver y Oliver don’t distil their own rum but, according to them, acquire selected ultra fine alcohol from the best distilleries in Panama, Guatemala

Millonario Reserva Especial 15

Sweet and moorish A Peruvian Solera style rum. Filling the glass from an excellent presented bottle shows a dark Amber/burned caramel color. Smells of sweet molasses

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Great value Of course there are better rums out the there but at the price point offered it is a tasty rum as a mixer but surprisingly good also as a sipper.

Legendario Elixir de Cuba 7-year

Great Rum "liqueur" First had a taste of this when visiting a rum factory in Havana years ago. It's a very sweet rum and with the use of macerated raisins and lower 34% a

Botran Reserva Blanca

Decent mixer Nothing that completely stand out on this but For the price I paid around £10 it’s a decent mixer. Nuff said

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-year

Dominant “artificial” sweetness If you like your Zacapa's you probably will enjoy this.

Old J TIki Fire Spiced

Fire it is An over-proof version of their usual spiced rum offering and the 75.5abv really helps to cut through their added flavourings. Good for tiki drinks.

Atlantico Platino

Good Mixer The rum is from the Dominican Republic. Distilled from both molasses & sugar can juice. Shipped to the US for finishing. Crisp but still pretty smooth

Diplomatico Mantuano

Just ok Sweet on the nose. Pretty balanced without being overly sweet. It's nice but nothing special

Cavalier Antigua 5-year

Decent mixer Light gold in colour. It is a somewhat light rum with some vanilla notes but not much complexity as a sipper. Quite a bit of alcohol fumes coming off

Pink Pigeon Original

Real vanilla rum with a little kick No surprise here that this is a vanilla heavy sweet rum. Initially I wasn't very sure about this one as the vanilla is initial a bit overwhelming.

Havana Club Blanco

OK-ish as a mixer Nothing really memorable about this. It gets the job done as a mixer if you can't spend a few quid more than the next one up in the line. Still better

Havana Club Anejo Especial

Not a sipper for me but a good one for mixing To harsh as a sipper for me but certainly good for mixing. This bottle will always remind me of the time attending the Tropicana show in Havana. A

Spiced Vanilla Fun Mainly vanilla and some spices (which I can't really distinguish). Overall target market is the Rum is Fun which they are doing very well in.

Atlantico Private Cask

Unoffensive Had a sample tasting of this. It's unoffensive but seriously lacking complexity for a 15-25 aged Solera. At the price point being sold here in the UK

Black Magic Black Spiced

No Magic Here Very sweet and heavy on the vanilla. Drinking neat has a bit of alcohol bite. Similar to The Kraken but for me this is a bit better than that.

Captain Morgan Spiced

Vanilla bomb A good beginners rum but you will quickly move on. It's a sugary vanilla fest. hardly any noticeable spice due to the overwhelming vanilla.
