Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

My personal favorite So far, this is my absolute favorite rum. You don't need ice to mellow it out, it has almost no burn, but still full of flavor. I wouldn't dare put

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-Year

Another favorite This is another favorite of mine, almost on the same level as Diplomatico. This was my first top shelf rum, so it's safe to say it got me interested

St. Nicholas Abbey 10-Year

Fantastic Had a dram of this at the Rum House in New Orleans. It wasn't cheap, at $14 for what was basically a little more than a shot. It was VERY good thoug

El Dorado 12-Year

Decent I had this, the same time as Diplomatico Reserva. This was good, but not on the same level of complexity as the DR. It still had a slight burn to it

Old New Orleans Reserve 10

Best of ONO My favorite ONO rum, just not too keen on th price of $55. I would shell out $30-35 for it, but not more. I've had much cheaper rums that blow it aw

Default bottle preview

Alleyne Arthur's Special Barbados

Price is right Found this at Total Wine in Charleston, Sc. It caught my eye at only $10.99 for a 750ml bottle and the label didn't seem cheesy or cheap, like Malibu

Hard to get Enjoyed a bottle of this one with my father in law, while visiting Freeport, Bahamas a couple years ago. Enjoyed it so much, we drank an entire bottl

It burns There's no denying this is 151 proof. Had it neat, it burned, but it had lots of flavor as well.

Ron Abuelo Anejo

Price wise Definitely worth the money. I can pick it up at my local store for around $13. It's somewhat smooth, but still has a slight burn. A couple of ice c

Gosling's Black Seal

Gateway rum This is the rum that got me started on tasting different rums. It's sweet and has little burn. It works well by itself and a mixer.

Tortuga Coconut

God coconut I thought this was pretty good for a coconut rum, made a great mixer. Too bad I can only get it in the Cayman Islands.

Pyrat XO Reserve

Meh I felt this one was a bit too fake orange tasting for me. That's not to say it didn't mix well with coke, but not good enough to drink straight.

Seven Tiki Spiced

Not bad Even though the bottle "tries to hard" and doesn't pass my cheesy test, it is a good mixer and not too bad with a couple cubes of ice.

Plantation Barbados 5-Year

Ok Sorry, I wasn't that impressed with this one. While it was only $15, I've had other rums for the same price, that I thought were better. Had a littl

Old New Orleans Cajun Spice

Not for me I wasn't that impressed by this one. To me, it was like Christmas in a bottle. Too much cinnamon/clove spice for my palate.

Kraken Black Spiced

Mix Not a bad mixer, but a bit too harsh to enjoy straight. You can tell there's additives in it ad that it hasn't been aged long.

Too sweet I had this one on the rocks, not by my own doing though. It was extremely sweet, thank God I had ice to water it down a bit.
