Rock Star Pineapple Grenade

Strong but so flavoursome The first taste is that blast of overproof alcohol, but this is quickly followed by a blast of pure, caramelised pineapple. Absolutely delicious (and

Malecon 1996 Rare Proof 20-year

Beautiful, rich colour and a decent flavour once it warms up a little It’s a beautiful colour in the glass, but my first impression was the ethanol on the tongue. Once it had warmed up a little, the deep, rich raisin fla

Rumbullion Spiced

Good and warming An excellent spiced rum, albeit perhaps a little clove-y. A good one to have in your hip flask on a snowy mountain when you’re out skiing to help keep

Doorly's ABV43 12-year

A rummy rum The first taste is the alcohol, but quickly this develops into a warm, deep and rich rum. Not artificially sweet, just rum as rum should be. I drank t

Plantation 2004 Grenada

Alcohol dominates on the nose, but much softer and more pleasant on the palate Very strong, almost overpowering alcohol on the nose, but softens nicely on the palate. Maybe not as much as I’d like, but the sugars and underlying s

Tiburon Small Batch

It’s growing on me... Initially, I wasn’t in the least bit impressed by the nose as it seemed too alcohol-y, but that first impression was hasty. A quick sip revealed a dep

Dictador Amber 100

Beautiful, sweet nose and a decent drop This rum has a beautifully rich, sweet nose. Before I’ve tasted a drop, it’s already delicious. Once it’s warmed up a bit, this sweetness can be found

World's End Dark Spiced

Pretty good dark spiced rum Very dark, almost black and with a nose of spice. Mouthfeel is quite syrupy, but it’s not actually as sweet as some I’ve tasted. If anything, it leave

Flor de Caña 12-year

Initially a bit harsh, but smokey and smooth This is initially a little harsh on the tongue, but it soon mellows into smokey, woody flavours as the burn fades. Not at all sweet, almost like an Is

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Good. Enough pineapple whilst still being a rum There’s always a danger with something like this that it becomes too much about the fruit and not enough about the rum. Plantation have the balance ab

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Solid. My go-to sipping rum This is my go-to rum for a quick snifter, neat with no ice. Nothing outrageously special, perhaps, but pleasant to drink and fairly cheap. It’s a goo

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Very dependable Well, it’s readily available and, let’s not be snobs about this, it’s also very drinkable. I like it neat: not too much burn, sweet enough without bei

Drinkable. Sweet, but quaffable Lovely colour out of the bottle and has a very fruity nose. It tastes sweet (although not as sweet as it smells) and strongly of vanilla and bananas.

Rumbullion Navy Strength

Richer and thicker than the standard Normal strength rumbullion is a bit clove heavy, but good. This is similar, but all the better for being richer and thicker tasting on the tongue. Ver

Plantation 2001 Trinidad

Almost like a sweet whisky A lot of alcohol on the nose before opening up into a sweet, smoky taste that reminded me of nothing less than a decent, phenolic Islay malt. Surprisi

Santa Teresa 1796

Beautiful, rich colour and a decent flavour once it warms up a little It’s a beautiful colour in the glass, but my first impression was the ethanol on the tongue. Once it had warmed up a little, the deep, rich raisin fla

Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rare Gold 8-year

Fine. More complex than the average Bacardi, but is that saying much? I tend to think of Bacardi as being both overly distinctive and overly average. It’s fine, but overpowers any cocktail. Anyway. Reservations put to on

Elements 8 Gold

Too much bourbon, not enough rum Slightly weird smell, albeit not unattractive... but this tastes like a bourbon. Nothing wrong with that per se, but it’s not even an especially good

Mezan XO Jamaica

Light but with a subtle fruitiness. This is very pale and initially the lack of sweetness brings the alcohol to the fore. But actually, on the palate, a more subtle fruitiness comes out,

Don Q 2005 Limited Edition

Fine. Tasty enough drunk neat with no ice, but nothing too special.

Don Papa Small Batch

Very drinkable, but is it rum? Syrupy sweet and slightly spiced, I have to admit that I quite enjoyed drinking this, but I’m not sure it’s really a rum as much a sweetened, spiced r

New Grove Spiced

Hmmm. Not quite. This has an intriguing, almost marzipan-y nose with a hint of sharpness. On the tongue, it tastes quite (almost unpleasantly) sharp and citrus-y. It d

Duncan Taylor 2007 Darsa 8-year

Not for the faint-hearted At a pretty powerful 52.3%, you get a lot of whisky-like punch as soon as this touches your lips here. Once you get past that, the mouthfeel is pleasi

Horizon Black (Hole) Spiced

Cardamom. Pepper. Not bad. Black and syrupy with overtones of cardamom. A touch of pepper on the aftertaste. Not too bad.

Centenario 12-year

Hmm. Almost Agricole like flavours but okay Nice, rich colour. Tastes ok, I guess. For me it has a slightly unpleasant agricole mustiness, but that might just be me. I can’t say I exactly enjoye

Buttery mouthfeel that falls into generic spirit burn I loved the initial mouthfeel of this, which is almost buttery in texture and richness. Unfortunately, this rapidly turns into a fairly generic spirit

Dead Man's Fingers Spiced

Drinkable, but nothing special. This has a nice, dark colour out of the bottle and is resolutely inoffensive. It’s not filth, by any means.... but neither is it anything much to writ

Marauda Steelpan

Oddly like an Islay malt Now, when I’m drinking whisky, I can’t get enough peaty, smoky malts of the kind you might find in an Islay whisky. In a rum, not so much.... but that

Flor de Caña Gold 4

Harsh, with alcohol being the overriding flavor Maybe my fault for drinking this neat, but it’s a bit like paintstripper: harsh and with very little to recommend it. Not for me, at all, I’m afraid.
