Santa Teresa Gran Reserva

Very Smooth Very smooth rum. Moderate flavors. Very enjoyable in Madrid Spain.

Doorly's ABV43 12-year

A Pleasant Suprise My expectations were not that high at $45, but I was pleasantly surprised. Coming from Four Square Distillery, it has a nice flavor with some complexi

Foursquare 2009 12-year

Not the Best While it’s not the best Four Square has produced, it’s still a 10 for me.

El Dorado 1992 25-year

Wow Smooth as smooth can be. Great from start to finish. Not quite as tasty as Four Square.

More of a Mixer Nice flavor, but a lot of burn. Just a mixer for me.

Bermudez Don Armando Reserva

A Mixer Nice flavor, but too much burn for a sipper. Great mixer.

Foursquare 2008 12-year

Top of the Line My 3rd version of Four Square rums. Flavors are the best of any rum I’ve had. Small sips only, as the Overproof may get you.

Foursquare 2004 11-year

Very Good! Really nice. Smooth and complex flavor. My best, so far. I’m changing my rating, since it tasted great when I first tried it, but after several years

Zafra Master Reserve 30-year

Great! I’ve had this on my wish list for awhile. Traveled to Florida and found a bottle. Best rum I’ve ever tasted. Perfect blend of flavor, sweetness and sm

Zafra Master Reserve 21

Love this rum Maybe I love it so much, because I can’t buy it in Michigan, USA. Smooth to drink, great complex flavor, perfect amount of sweetness. I save this for

Frigate Reserve 21-year

A Great Rum Tremendous flavor. Very smooth. Not too sweet, not too dry. Expensive, but I’ll keep a bottle in the cabinet for special occasions. Absolutely one of

Angostura Number 1 Sherry Cask

Excellent Nice sherry flavor, but not overpowering. Nice balance of sweet and dry. Smooth as silk.

Foursquare 2007 Sagacity 12-year

Amazing Flavor One the best tasting rums I’ve had. Careful with sipping neat an overproof rum.

Diplomatico Ambassador Selection

Excellent Super smooth. Great palate of flavors. Not as sweet as the cheaper versions of Diplomatico.

Appleton Estate 21-year

Smoooth Super smooth. More subtle taste than the other less expensive Appletons. Worth the price.

Havana Club Union

Elegant Super smooth from start to finish. Great initial taste and finishes nicely.

Centenario 30-year

Smoooth The smoothest rum I’ve ever tasted! Above average flavor. Fairly sweet.

Angostura 1824 12-year

Perfect on a Sunny Beach Nice flavor. Paired well with a walk on the beach in Grand Case. Well balanced flavor and sweetness.

Diplomatico 2002

Very Smooth No burn at all. Nice flavor, but I’m not a fan of the Sherry Cask finish. The Diplomatico Ambassador won in a taste comparison.

Smooth I’ve enjoyed this for years. Nice taste and smooth. Not super complex.

Ron Zacapa Centenario XO Solera Gran Reserva Especial

Great Rum Very nice flavor and extremely smooth. Definitely carries the Zacapa taste, caramel overtone. Much less sweet than the 23 year. A true high end rum. G

Frigate Reserve 15-year

Enjoyed This Rum Updated: Bought a bottle during my next trip to Florida. My original rating improved. All around great flavor, smoothness and finish. Sometimes where

El Dorado 21-year

Good, but great. Very smooth, but not as flavorful as the 15 year. I won’t buy this again, too expensive for the taste.

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Smooth Nice flavor and smooth. It’s on my repeat buy list

El Dorado 2006 Port Mourant Single Still

Not my Style Very smooth, just not a fan of the port wine flavor.

Plantation 2014 Panama Single Cask Marsala Finish 6-year

Nothing Special Too much bite. Nice flavor, not very complex. I think overproof rums are often overpowering, and this one is - unlike Four Square which takes it to pe

Pusser's British Navy ”Nelson’s Blood” 15-year

Gift from a Friend I haven’t been able to find this in a store. Very smooth. Carries the classic taste of Pusser’s Rum. I’d buy it again if I could find it. Definitely o

Bambarra Trouvadore 15-year

Very Pleasant A friend brought it over, which was a gift he received. Very smooth and easy to drink. A little on the sweet side, but not too sweet. Flavors are plea

Abuelo XV Tawny Port Cask Finish

Very Good This is a great rum. Great flavors, very smooth, nice finish. It has a little more body - some rums are watery compared to this one.

Abuelo Centuria

Smooth, but Heavy. Very full bodied rum. Nice taste, super smooth. Just a little heavy if your drinking in warm weather.

Angostura 1787 15-year

Just OK Fairly smooth, but the flavor just isn’t my favorite. Slightly on the dry side.

Kirk and Sweeney 23-year

Smooth and Flavorful Really enjoyable taste. Smooth and a little sweet. This will be a repeat in the future.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Just Right Not too sweet, not too dry. Very nice balanced flavor and very smooth. This will be a regular for my rum cabinet. It is light on the palate - very ref

Ron Zacapa Edicion Negra

A Nice Variation Maybe I won’t drink it everyday, but lots of smoky flavor and a smooth finish. Has the Zacapa flavor of caramel. Strong flavors and a great aftertaste

Gosling's Family Reserve Old

Great Flavor Very basic name, but very nice flavor and smooth too. Worth the price.

Equiano Original 8-year

Another Good One Definitely worth adding to the rum cabinet. Very smooth, almost no bite, great flavor, but not complex. A little sweeter than my favorites. Just compa

Pusser's British Navy 15-year

Definitely Pusser’s I’ve sampled at least 5 variations of Pusser’s in the past. Their taste is just a touch salty at first and finish licorice tasting. This one is rather

Chairman's The Forgotten Cask 6-11 Years

First St. Lucia Rum My first experience with a St. Lucia rum. Very nice flavor, a little bite. I would definitely buy this again.

Kirk and Sweeney 18-year

Great on Vacation Found a quality liquor store in Portland, ME, Bow Street Beverage. Found this on their shelf and enjoyed it for a week in Acadia. Came home no compare

Centenario 25-year

Smooth Great taste. I enjoy the Solera system rums. Verrry smooth and a real nice sipper. Maybe a bit sweet, but don’t drink it every day. Great on a cold da

Good Flavor Another enjoyable rum, somewhat complex. Smooth with nice flavor.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Enjoyable My basic rum. A little heavy and sweet, but always good.

El Dorado 12-year

Nice flavor Great flavors and pretty smooth. Maybe just a little sweet, but very enjoyable.

Nice Taste Really enjoyed the flavors, very smooth. A little too sweet for my taste.

Nice for the price Relatively smooth, a little sweet. Nice flavor, but a little bland compared to really good rum. For the price, it’s one of the best.

Autentico Nativo 20-year

A Nice Rum Good tasting rum. A little too sweet for my taste. Relatively smooth.

Real McCoy Single Blended 12-year

I’ll buy it again The first sip is a definite smoky bourbon flavor, then the finish is all rum. Very smooth. A nice subtle molasses finish, but not sweet.

El Pasador de Oro XO

Smooth, but lacking Nice smooth rum. A little sweet and just average in flavor.

Appleton Estate 15-year

Enjoyable Taste Definitely Appleton flavor. Enjoyed the rum flavor, a little bit of a bite. Not as smooth as I normally like.

Santa Teresa 1796

Pleasant Suprise Tried this on advice from a store owner. Very enjoyable. Fairly smooth, not too sweet and a reasonable, but not great flavor.

Soggy Dollar Dark

Average An ok sipper, just very bland on the flavor. I think it’s a white rum with color and flavor added.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Too Sweet Flavor is too sweet and syrupy for me. I won’t buy this again. I’ll mix it with some lime juice and ginger beer.

Not bad Very smooth, no bite, and good for sipping. A bit heavy with sweetness, and a butterscotch taste. Tastes of additives, but still a nice dessert.

Kirk and Sweeney Reserva 12-year

Decent but Not Great Bought a bottle on vacation in the Florida Keys. It was decent, but I doubt I would buy it again. Too much bite. A good taste, maybe a little vanilla.

Dictador Solera Distillery Icon Reserve 20-year

No longer on my Preferred List I’m lowering my rating. After my initial tasting several years ago, I’ve decided my original rating was over influenced by the time and place. It’s ve

Not for me A decent rum, but seems artificially flavored. Not my style.

Alegro XO 8-year

Nice Flavor Good flavors. A bit sweet, but not too sweet. Very heavy burn. I won’t buy again.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Middle of the road A decent rum with good flavor. A little burny, when you sip. The harshness overpowers the flavors. I wound up using it as a mixer.

Dictador Solera Ultra Premium Reserve 12-year

Good I enjoyed some sips of this rum. The 20 year and the XO are much better. A bit harsh, but very nice flavor. I wouldn’t turn it down.

Clement 10-year

Not the Best Not a great taste compared to other rums. A bit expensive for what it is. Strong alcohol taste overpowers the flavors. Won’t buy it again, too many ot

Kirk and Sweeney Gran Reserva Superior

Disappointment This appears to be the replacement for the 23 year. It’s the top of the line for Kirk & Sweeney. I loved the 23 year. This version has a very good tas

Papas Pilar Spanish Sherry Cask Finished 24-year

Just OK Decent flavor, tastes a bit artificial. A little too sweet. Too much burn.

Queen Charlotte's Reserve

Nice Surprise Enjoyed this at the Pump House in North Carolina. Produced in North Carolina, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not too much bi

Havana Club 7-year

Good for the Price Doesn’t present a lot of flavor. I use it as a mixer with coke. Tastes good if you mix 3 parts coke to 1 Havana Club

Chairman's Reserve Spiced

Great Spiced Rum Very smooth and a great mixer, not much of a sipper. The spiced flavor always takes away from the true rum flavors.

Plantation 2003 Jamaica Clarendon Mmw 16-year

Very Good Very good, but not great. I compared it next to Four Square 2004, 59%, Four Square is the winner. Nice flavors, lots of variety, just bit too much of

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-year

Good Flavor Nice tasting rum, but quite a lot of bite. A little sweet. I mix with it. Makes a nice combination with fruit juices.

Gosling's Black Seal

Great Mixer Makes the best Dark & Stormy. Not on my sipping list. Unique heavy flavor mixes well, and you can still get a nice rum taste.

Soggy Dollar Island Spiced

Average Decent flavor for sipping. Fairly smooth, but flavor is rather mild. Doesn’t taste like a pure distilled rum, more like a white rum with flavor and co

Pyrat XO Reserve

Good mixer Nice flavor in a mixed drink, but not on my list for sipping.

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Rum & Coke The only way i find I like this rum, is with coke. Has a very good vanilla taste. Doesn’t mix well with fruit juice.

Kirk and Sweeney Reserva

Downgraded version of the 12 year Reasonably good flavor. A bit of a burn and not that good of a finish. A definite downgrade of the 12 year. I won’t buy again. Many other better optio

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-year

Good for the Price One of my first dark rums. Unique flavor do Pusser’s, almost a little salty. Great mixer with fruit juices.

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Nothing Special Just your basic spiced rum. Ok with Coke, but that’s about all I would do with this.

Kraken Black Spiced

Good Mixer If your looking for something to add to coke, this makes a nice drink. I wouldn’t recommend sipping this one.

Governor's Reserve Dark

Afternoon mixer When i mix a drink to walk the beach in Cayman, this is my choice. Blends with coke, or I like it with pineapple and grapefruit juice and club soda, o

Bacardi Superior

Never Again I haven’t bought this in years. It could even ruin a coke if mixed that way. Drink it straight, and I imagine that’s what paint thinner would taste li
