El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Best of the Best Let me start my review with a confession... I'm not a "rum purest" drinker. I've been drinking rum & Coke as my go-to cocktail since my college days.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Great sipping rum This rum is a true upgrade to Dipomatico's standard bottle. It has a sweet and smooth flavor. While I typically don't drink rum straight, as I'm a suc

El Dorado 12-year

A solid aged rum This is a great, smooth aged rum. I got a sampler bottle of this 12 year when I bought a bottle of the 8 year. I look forward to adding a bottle to my

Flor de Caña 18-year

Smooth sipping rum This is a smooth and sweet sipping rum, which is a great stage-two (switching from mixed drinks to straight/sipping) rum for my personal tastes.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Smooth sipping rum I've seen a bunch of reviews for this rum which are hyper-critical about how sweet it is and such. That said, I for sure have a sweet tooth when it co

Ron Zacapa Edicion Negra

Excellent sipping rum This is a great sipping rum. It's very smooth, with a husky dark flavor.

Diplomatico Mantuano

Smooth I really enjoy this rum. I look forward to trying others from this distiller. As always, I prefer my rum over ice with a healthy splash of Coke.

El Dorado 8-year

Solid Aged Rum This is a great starter rum if you're exploring aged rums for the first time, like me. It's not super expensive and provides a great, aged flavor. As

Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva

Smooth sipping rum This straight rum is smooth and works well as a sipper, or mixed. As usual, I enjoy my rum over rocks, with a splash of Coke.

Cayman Reef 5-year

Smooth This is a smooth, mellow aged rum. Not super sweet when sipped neat. Goes down well when mixed. As always, I enjoy my rum over ice with a healthy spla

Captain Morgan Black Spiced

Bursting with Flavor I just bought my first bottle the other day. With the first drink, I was pleasantly surprised with how much flavor it offers! I get a strong, dark cho

Kraken Black Spiced

Krak-a-lak-en Good Rum I'm new to darker rums, but I do love this rum! As always, I prefer my rum over ice with a healthy splash of Coke.

Cayman Reef Double Black

Good choice for a dark rum This is a smooth, husky dark rum. Its simple flavor isn't crowded with a bunch of extra flavors...so, it finishes well. As always, I enjoy my rum over

Gosling's Black Seal

Decent dark rum for mixed drinks I've only tried this rum in my go-to rum and coke cocktail. That said, compared to other dark rums that I absolutely love in this mixed drink, this on

Cruzan Black Strap

Black Strap rum...on a budget My initial impression hasn't blown me away, but perhaps I'm just not used to overpowering molasses flavoring this rum provides. I'll give it another c

Kraken Black Roast Coffee

Coffee Rum I've only had this rum in a few mixed-drink cocktails. I can't speak to how it tastes on its own. However, it does the job well to add that coffee fla

Kahlúa Rum and Coffee Liqueur

Classic coffee liqueur Being the cheerfully ignorant person I can be sometimes, I went to the liquor store looking to buy a specific coffee rum to try. My son hands me a bot

Siesta Key Coffee

Great coffee rum with a warning So, this rum is difficult to rate for me. I bought it as a substitute to Kahlua liqueur for a mudslide mixed drink. I DO NOT RECOMMEND that you do thi

Myers's Original Dark

Dark Rum This rum isn't special, but it serves its purpose well in mixed drinks.

Bacardi Oakheart

Bang-for-the-buck Goodness While this certainly isn't the fanciest of rums, it does serve a great purpose. No matter how many expensive bottles I have lingering in my cabinet, I

Siesta Key Spiced

Home Grown Goodness I'm not much of a rum sipper. However, I often take a taste from a new bottle...just to see what I'm about to experience. I have to say that this is t

Cayman Reef Spiced

A nice alternate to Capt'n I've enjoyed a few bottles of this spiced rum over the last year. It packs a ton of flavor, but doesn't break the bank doing so. This completes my bas

Unique spiced rum In terms of spiced rums, Bumbu does a great job of breaking the vanilla mold. Its unique flavor blend refreshing. As always, I enjoy this rum mixed wi

Black Coral Spiced

Smooth spiced rum This is a great spiced rum. Even better, the company donates a portion of its profits to our blessed veterans. Call me crazy, but this adds even more

Decent rum for mixed drinks As an avid rum and coke guy, I'm always willing to throw new spiced rums in the mix. To be honest, I don't like the XO over the standard bottle, but I

Calico Jack 94 Proof

Spicey Bang for the Buck This rum tastes better than the price tag would suggest. With the over-proof bite, the spices don't seem to pop as much as others. So, I guess I'd cal

Calico Jack Spiced

Bang-for-the-buck Goodness Just like its 94-proof brother, this rum is much better than the price would suggest. The spice blend is smooth, with no weird after tastes. Perfect f

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Classic Spiced Rum Flavor Growing up, Capt'n -N- Coke was kind of a family favorite drink. I discovered this version a few years ago and haven't had a bottle of classic Capt'n

Siesta Key Toasted Coconut

Coco-nutty Goodness I don't have a ton of experience with coconut rums. When I discovered just how amazing Siesta Key's spiced rum was, I knew I HAD to try this one as we

Staple rum for mixed drinks Certainly this rum is designed to pack in as much sweet, coconutty flavor in mixed drinks. As such, it does the job well...

Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Coconut

Staple rum for mixed drinks This rum does the job to add coconut flavor to mixed drinks. No doubt it's full of sugar and syrups to get that coconut flavor. So, if this is all you

Naked Turtle White

Perfect light rum I bought a bottle of this wonderful clear rum for some mixed drinks. Not only did those taste wonderful, but I took a nip of the remainder and it was

Bacardi Superior

Staple rum for mixed drinks Let's face it...you don't buy this rum to sit by the fire pit with your buds while enjoying some smooth sipping rum while maybe enjoying a cigar/pipe.

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-year

Taste Not Acquired, Yet This rum reviews much better than it tastes...for me. I'm still pretty new to aged rums, so maybe my pallet is just still immature. However, I'll have

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

Classic as its Partner Okay, we all know this is as basic and rookie as rum drinking comes. For years I thought Capt'n and Coke was just what you drink. Yes, I've moved on,

Sailor Jerry Spiced USO Limited Edition

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Well it's not horrible My first impression of this rum wasn't spectacular. To be honest, I've only tried it once. However, I didn't care for it. I'll try it again one day, m

Blue Chair Bay Coconut
