La Hechicera Extra Anejo per tiki Ducks this is a strong tasing rum, but the heat is not too bad. Sweet, cinnamon

Gustoso Aguardiente

Tiki Ducks Gustoso Had to have this as a daiquiri. It is very hot doing it neat.

Don Q Cristal per Tiki Ducks This had a sharp taste, but this doesn't really taste like a rum. Will need to try again to determine what it's flavor profiles are.

Prichard's Cranberry

Prichard's Cranberry This definitely has a cranberry flavor to it but not much other depth. I need to try this in a daquiri and see how it tastes then.

Spytail Black Ginger

Spytail Giner Rum per Tiki Ducks I know a lot of fellow drinkers who hate this a lot more than me. I love ginger so this might be the reason I like it more than them. Drink at your

The Real McCoy 3 year per tiki Ducks This is a lot hotter then the 5 year. There is some sweetness to it. Makes a good daiquiri.

Rogue Dark It's made in America, do I need to say more? I love that America tries, but there are so any better rums that are inexpensive then to buy American.

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Wray & Nephew OP per Tiki Ducks If you just need a ovenproof shot or if you need some Tiki Fire, Wray and Nephew does a good job at both.

Santa Teresa 1796

Santa Teresa 1796 per Tiki Ducks This is my first Rum in the Laka Lono Rum Club. I can't remember must about it, so I will need to go back.

El Dorado 8 year per Tiki Ducks Again this is one of the rums I didn't mark as the first entry in my 2nd passport. that is on of the issues with tasting rums in one of the best rum

Lemon Hart 151 per tiki Ducks It's an 151 overproof rum. Even in a daiquiri it is very strong. No real flavors just rum and a burn.

Leblon Cachaca This is a very spicy and hot Cachaca. I would get this for my bar, but I could see it being used in a Rock of Brazil.

Prichards's Spiced per Tiki Ducks Cinnamon Nutmeg cloves, I had this neat, I need to try it in a Daquiri and see if the flavors get better.

Barcelo Gran Anejo

Barcelo Gran Anejo per tiki Ducks Pretty good, notes of coffee and toffee. Not that big of a burn.

The Scarlet Ibis Gold

The Scarlet Ibis Remember not everyone's tastings are the same. I rated this low because I couldn't get any real flavors from it.
