Zafra Master Reserve 30-Year

Might be the best rum around I have had probably more rum than one should have and this is the best that I’ve had. The Zafra 21 might be the best value rum around but this is trul

Dos Maderas Luxus

Its perfect I love everything about this rum. It’s sweetwith a nice smooth burn. Flavors of fruit not common in rum. Really great eum!

Still a good Zacapa: 23 yr old has been over produced If you enjoy a sweet aged rum look no further than zacapa xo. It has all the characteristics: toffee, coffee, sugar cane, etc. This rum is a gem and f

Zafra Master Reserve 21

Best rum for the price This rum rocks. It reminds me of what zacapa 23 used to be. Nice sweetness but not too much. Has a wonderful woody finish. I tried it and went back to

Centenario 30-Year

Very good and unique This rum is interesting. It has an upfront woody flavor that leads in to a sweet well balanced aged rum. It’s much different than most rums but I real

Diplomatico 2001 Single Vintage

The Fear This is almost a perfect rum. I call it the fear because I can easily down the bottle in a night. The 2004 is a but more dry. This rum is sweet chocol

Diplomatico 2004 Single Vintage

Very good rum but not the 2002 The 2002 of this rum’s was one of the best things to have ever hit my lips. Brown augar, banana, coffee and chocolate. When I first opened this bottle

Plantation Barbados XO

It’s different but I like it This rum almost tasted like it had added flavors. I researched and could not find any proof of this. It is super heavy on banana notes and is as smoot

Ron Zacapa Centenario 23

Very good but used to be better I first came across Zacapa 23 when I was working in Grand Cayman. It blew my mind ay the time. Since that time Zacapa has become so mass produced that

Havana Club 15-Year

Great stuff if bought in Cuba For some reason Havana Club bought in Cuba or Cuban friendly nations is different than USA. I wouldn’t recommend buying in USA. Now if you get the Cub

Havana Club 7-Year

Great if purchased in Cuba or from Cuba Havana Club can be great or average depending where it is produced. Most Havana Club in the United States is not produced in Cuba and reminds me more

Abuelo Anejo XV Tawny Port Cask Finish

8.5 is my rating. Overall great rum It reminds me of zacapa 23 10 years ago before being mass produced. Has a nice sweetness up front that ends with a wonderful woody taste that is just

Best coffee liquer The flavor of coffee is strong in a good way. Its what kahlua should be. Mr Black from Australia has long been my go to coffee liqueur but this has mo

Ron Zacapa Edicion Negra

Feels wrong but I’ve moved on Ron Zacapa was my true first love of rum. I don’t know if the rum has changed or if my palate has advanced. Its much different than the solera 23. It

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

Not my style but well made This rum is very heavy on wood flavors. It is well balanced and well made but it’s just not something I would buy often. Lately the aged rums I’ve bou

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Good rum but not extraordinary This is a very good rum. I have a problem where I use most rums under $100 as a mixer. Just a dash of mix but it id because of the burn. For a similar

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Very good value spiced rum I don’t drink spiced rum anymore but when I did I was on a budget. Jerry is under $20, has high alcohol percentage and actually tastes pretty good. Th

Mount Gay Black Barrel

Good for Rum and Cokes This rum is great as a mixer. I use it with mexican coke when I don’t want to spend money on alcohol. Its definitely a step up from mount gay eclipse

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year

Good mixing rum This is one of my favorite mixers for a rum and coke with mexican coke. Biggest its a dryer rum it goes extremely well with the real sugar in mexican

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-Year

Poor man’s zacapa 23 This rum is great for mixing and the price. If you like sipping rums I guess this could work but I like it with a splash of mexican coke. It has added

Diplomatico Ambassador Selection

Not a typical diplomatico This isn’t your sweet diplomatico. It’s very alcohol forward, wood heavy. It’s not a bad rum but for the price you can find better

Appleton Estate 21-Year

Meh My intro to rums long ago was appleton. But than I was introduced to a sweeter variety like the diplomatico or zacapa brands. I find it too dry withou

Facundo Exquisito

Lacks a finish This rum is good but it’s not great. It’s smooth, has nice flavor but no finish. It just kind of disappear’s on the tongue. For the price I would say

Gosling's Family Reserve Old

Molasses in a bottle I wanted to love this rum. I didn’t. All the notes of wood and amazing flavor typically found in an older rum were missing. Reminded me of just molas

Santiago de Cuba Extra Anejo 12-Year

Great for mixing with Mexican coke I liked it a lot as a mixer. It’s not going to win any awards but for whatever reason it makes a damn fine rum and coke with mexican coke

Plantation Barbados 5-Year

Decent Rum for mixing This is what I would call an average rum. There is nothing wrong with it, its much better than your run of the mill cheap rums but it won’t knock your

Its not rum My review is low because this is a rum rating site. I don’t consider this a rum. It is a liqueur that is ok. I dont get the high ratings. Is it better

Kirk and Sweeney 12-Year

Not what I think of when I think of Rum I’m Irish and from a navy town. I can down a bottle if rum in 2 hours if it’s good. This rum took me weeks to get through. Just burns without a reward

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Decent for cheap rum This rum won’t win any awards but it’s very drinkable as a mixer. It is the best rum of the brand and doesn’t have an overly synthetic taste like othe

Kahlúa Rum and Coffee Liqueur

It sucks but i like it You know what you are buying with Kahlua. I use it in a 5 shot drink that is actually awesome. 1 shot titos vodka, 1 shot kahlua, 1 shot Mr. black, 1

Bacardi Ron Solera 1873

Cheap rum pretending to be more than it is Maybe I just don’t like Bacardi rums. I find they all taste bland and have a bad aftertaste that reminds me of diet coke. I have tried the most premiu

Bacardi Dragon Berry

Use for strawberry mojito This rum on it’s own would be undrinkable. But if you make a strawberry mojito with fresh strawberries it does the trick.

Bottle tries to trick you I’ve learned if you have a nice bottle at a medium price, typically the rum is garbage. This rum is exactly that. No defining quality. Not much differ

Appleton Estate V/X

Its not me it appleton When I lived in the caribbean I loved Appleton. I had graduated from navy rum to jamaican rum and I was 21. Nowadays I can’t stand it. 21 yr, 30 yr,

RumJava Signature

Better than Kahlua This rum sucks let’s face it but if you treat it right you be irie. I use it instead of kahlua/vodka and mix with chocolate milk. I can’t imagine usin

Kirkland Spiced

Good for rum punch and alcoholics I mean, it’s $15 for 1.5 It’s not the worst spiced rum but it taste like synthetic flavors. It also seems to hate your physical body and brain because

Bacardi Superior

Once you get in to quality rum you will never try this again This was my first rum... back when I was in the teen years (Canadian). It was used for rum and cokes. How things have changed, I won’t go near this an

You can do better. A lot better This rum is simply not good. I imagine it’s made for homeless and alcoholics.

RumJava Cacao'mon

You might throw out I accidentally though it was the coffee version. I tried many mixes thinking maybe a horchata drink would be good. This rum was sooo bad. Its not rum.

Pyrat XO Reserve

I hate this rum This drink is disgusting. I wouldn’t even call it a rum. It has so much “orange flavoring” thst it is almost undrinkable. I don’t know what they were
