Rumbullion Spiced

Love this rum, amongst the best! The Navy Strength has that little extra kick, but this, not only cheaper, still provides all the flavour and excitement you want from a good spiced ru

One of my favourite dark rums. Not as 'rich' as Wood's, but certainly smoother, and tastier making it one of the best dark/navy style rums out there. Mixes well in the common favour

El Dorado 12-Year

Now this is rum! Christmas/fruit cake, raisins, treacle, caramel with faint notes of clove, nutmeg and vanilla. A truly rich rum full of character, amazing straight, a

Is this rum? I have gone through several bottles of this stuff and the first thing you will note is that it is very much like a rich cognac. Swirling around the mo

Sweet, smooth, but lacking in character. This is simply a great rum and has a smooth richness to it, but there are many alternatives that already nail this classification that are cheaper. Su

Pusser's Gunpowder Proof

Not quite What I expected At first on the nose and palate you get a spicy/peppery hit from the strong bitter molasses, but once it breathes a little it seems to get smoother, a

Chairman's Reserve Spiced

Strange, moreish and unexpectedly good This is a very different spiced rum. The flavour is very strong when consumed straight and can become quite sickly. However, just a splash with coke a

English Harbour 5-Year

Fine smooth rum Like Appleton Estate VX but better! It is almost like a sweet single malt at first, followed with that long rummy treacle/caramel finish. Tasty and do

Diplomatico Reserva

Lovely Rum This is a great rum, caramel and fruity with a more traditional rum finish, great all round and a nice treat.

A great rum This one here really split my decisions as my preference towards this will whole heartedly be based on price. Often found cheaper than the HC7, this o

Old Vatted Demerara (OVD) Dark

Pusser's British Navy

Peppery, but balanced. Tried straight, and found it akin to black pepper and raisin, and would situate it somewhere between coarse and smooth. I prefer a little more caramel
