A bit harsh A bit like honey but not as smooth. Great offering from a Canadian distillery. Their spiced is much better. This one is still to ethanol-y and stro

Cane Island Cuba Single Island Blend

Nice but not special Sweet, a bit stringent, and a wee vegetative. Cant put my finger on any defining flavours. A taste of light wood. Best as a mixer but could be dran

Young but not special Smells like beef jerky and grapes. Tastes like fortified wine. A bit dry but some subdued fruit in there. Certainly not molasses. Needs aging.

New Grove Old Tradition 8-year

Six Not bad but nothing special. Heavy in the wood flavouring. A bit of caramel but with a tinge of a sting. For first rum Ive tried from here, its pret

Dead Man's Fingers Spiced

English Spice Good spiced rum with lingering orange flavour. Not too overpowering in spice or too sweet, which can be common. While it is a good spiced rum, it is

Travellers 5-year

Too sweet Light wood and citrus on the nose. Tastes of orange and sweet fruit but just too sweet for me. Even when tried as a mixer, the fruit cane bursting t

Tres Hombres 2017 Edition 17 La Palma Duro 7-year

I like the sugarcane juice Smells like an old leather couch and a hint of poor quality wood. Tastes a bit of pear but reminds me of the inexpensive and under aged barcelo rums.

Plantation 2011 Single Cask Barbados Oloroso Finish 10-year

There is better for price Tastes of peat, funk and way too much char. Definitely taste the boubon but thats not a good thing, as its way too strong. The sherry finish is welc

Clarkes Court Old Grog

Pretty damn sweet Too sweet in my opinion so as to prevent one from drinking quickly or in great quantity. Flavour like butterscotch. Not bad but not great.

Romero Dark Sugarcane Spirit

Not as good as the Rum Supposedly since the spirit is aged wuickly using woodchips for more barrel surface area they can't call it rum. Still tastes like rum, however it is

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Well that confirms it If there was ever a rum to confirm my dislike of Jamaican rum, this is it. If plantation cant a good rum out of Jamaica then I doubt anyone can. Sme

SAMAI Gold 2-year

Got that funk Its got that asian-rum vegetative funk to it. I can taste the sherry cask infusion. Interesting but probably wouldn't buy another bottle.

Captain Morgan Dark

To be drank after everything else By no means the worst rum out there. However it is not the best and meant to be drank after the rest of your cabinet. Possibly better than bacardi,

Flor de Caña Añejo Clásico 5-year

Not surprising Tones of peppermint and acetone. On the high end of the low ends, but nothing to tell your friends about.

Lemon Hart Original 1804

Not my thing This rum while priced ok, tastes of a Jamaican rum with hints of banana. Was hoping for a bit more from this Guyanan. Not bad but Probably wont buy

Mount Gay Eclipse

Hmmm Sharp taste reminiscent of Jamaican rum. Not my taste, as not sweet enough with off flavour.

Havana Club 3-year

Hmm interesting While the unique flavour harkens back to vacations to Havana, and it is flavourful, its just not the flavour one might want.

Basic Great way to start your adventure around the globe.

Interesting Light rum without caramel flavours. Bizarre, it tastes like every flavour at a soda fountain mixed together. Waffs of acetone.

Captain Morgan Spiced

Hugggghhh Too much vanilla. Not my cup of tea. Its sworn me off spiced rums.

Inexpensive Very sweet and mild but priced just right. Its just a bacardi.

Lamb's Palm Breeze

On sale Good rum for the price. Lacks character but doesnt smell of nail polish remover as previous review mentioned. Still nothing to write home about.

Captain Morgan White

Nothin to it Tastes pretty good with mix but not much in flavour department. Inexpensive too.

Co-op White rum

Co-op White rum

Inexpensive white for mixing This Caribbean white is suprisingly smooth and good for a rum and coke. I normally wouldnt buy cheap rum but this was the only rum in the store I'd n

Juan Santos 5-year

Nothing special A bit peppery and has more burn than a normal rum. Nothing wrong with it just lacks some smoothness and more complex layers. Some may prefer this as

El Dorado 3-year

Yikes I mean I shouldnt have expected much from a young white rum, but once you get past the sting its not bad. Probably on par with a bacardi white howeve

Blue Chair Bay White

Just a cheap white For some reason I thought this brand would deliver an astonishing flavourful and smooth white at a great price. The reality is that while it may be c

In a pinch Yikes smells strong, similar to rubbing alcohol. Luckily it tastes better. However it is s bit like bacardi in that it isnt too sweet but doesnt tas

Cruzan Estate Diamond Black Strap

Pretty damn sweet Too sweet in my opinion so as to prevent one from drinking quickly or in great quantity. Flavour like butterscotch. Not bad but not great. Edit-- 4

Kraken Black Label

Syrup Not my kind of rum. Really dark and sugary. Tastes of pepper, mint and liquorice. Smells of coffee. Good in a pinch i suppose but Id rather not ha

Yikes Tastes of oranges and roses, which you think would be nice but it isn't. Ethanol-y with some funk. I couldn't do more than a couple. Kind of like c

Cane Island Jamaica Single Island Blend

That Jamaican Funk As per usual this Jamaican rum tastes of vegetative funk and that light ethanol smell but this surprises. Its sweet and tastes of pineapple with being

Old New Orleans Amber

Butterscotch funk Sweet molasses with butterscotch, yet still has then young smell of ethanol. Light wood lingers but finishes like lacquer. Just too sweet but does we

Rum Company of Fiji Ratu Spiced 5-year

What the? Like toasted coconut. Warm spices that linger. Very sweet so might be good for a dessert or a wicked rum cake. Could not do often due to the sweetn

Bundaberg Original UP

Holy crud I recall having this rum all the time in Australia in my youth. However, I must have grown taste buds since then. Its like a strong plum brandy mixe

Old Monk XXX 7-year

I did not see that coming. For something that tastes like nail polish remover with a hint of vanilla and banana leaf, its surprisingly potable. I thought Id diversify my cabine

Royal Jamaican Gold

Ahem Jamaican rum... what are they not doing that every other rum producer is doing? Tastes like a floral bouquet...let me rephrase: it tastes like the wa

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Yikes Drink with plenty of mix and hold your nose. Also works as a disenfectant.

Bacardi Superior

Standard Drink with coke. Great to drink for effect but not for flavour.

Coconut Not a fan of flavoured rum but in a pinch, get lady drink drunk.

Not that bad For a low end white rum it is below bacardi but ahead of any Jamaican rum.

William Hinton Peated Whisky Single Cask Finish 5-year

Novelty Think cherry-flavoured Skoal... and that's what you get.

Rum Nation Guadeloupe Blanc

What happened?! Its either genius or disaster, but somehow this rum tastes like tequila. I've only tried a handful of agricole, all of which are a metric tonne bette
