Transcontinental Rum Line 2013 Jamaica WP

What a navy strength rum should be Doesn't taste like a high-strength spirit, the flavors complement the alcohol sensation: roasted pineapple, pandan leaves, vanilla extract, sugar-coat

Hampden Estate Great House Distillery 2020 Edition

Simply the Best Stewed pineapples, fermented and overripe fruit, wet wood, huge vegetal notes, vanilla syrup, the “hairs” of a mango seed when you suck on it. What an

Foursquare 2008 12-year

A whisky drinker's rum! Absolutely blown away. Anise, dark caramel, cherries, some subtle wood smoke, burnt sugar, chinese five spice? There's an umami quality to it like hoi

Clairin Le Rocher

An experience What a nose. Vegetable stock, sugar cane juice, dried leaves, smoke, melon, pandan leaves, wood. The palate is even more novel: beef jerky, lime and p

Neisson Profil 105

Neisson continues to surprise Cherry, cedar, varnish, all the good stuff with the signature vegetal note of agricole. Great stuff, and again, could easily fool avid bourbon drinker

Rivers Royal Granadian White 69

Just an amazing full-bodied drop Huge meaty and umami flavors wrapping the core cane juice note. I detect aged fish sauce and semi-dried grass. On the palate, almost like a tomato qua

Best value for money white rum You can't expect anything less from Foursquare and Hampden rums, even in their entry level bottlings. Overripe bananas, wet soil, star anise, fresh wh

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

One of the best sipping rums I've tasted Rich and creamy with wood, cocoa, vanilla. Some cooked fruits, toffee and roasted nuts, and a lot of muscovado. Deep sweetness. Very delicious!

Diplomatico 2005

Sherried goodness! The sherry influence is very much apparent. Caramel, dried fruits, vanilla, figs, and a bit of wood spice complement the brown sugar notes. Docking it

Foursquare 2010 Detente 10-year

The port influence shines through A great example of a rum that can achieve sublimely delectable levels of sweetness without any additives. Berry compote, wet wood, raisin juice on the

No wonder Luca Gargano persisted in getting Clairin out in the market! Eternally thankful for Luca's persistence. This is absolutely delicious. Mushroom stock, fermented pineapples, and an intense umami quality, like toma

Transcontinental Rum Line 2015 Australia 4-year

Great unique rum Tropical fermented fruits galore, can’t get enough of this!

Neisson Le Rhum Vieux Par 3-9 Years

Really thought it was bourbon on a blind tasting! What a great expression, something to attract whisky and bourbon drinkers to the wonderful world of rum. Great wood and caramel notes integrated with

Foursquare 2010 Indelible 11-year

Quintessential Foursquare Tastes too much like a Foursquare rum. Which can be both good and bad.

Hampden Estate 2016 The Younger LROK 5-year

Hampden on Overdrive I would love to have a side by side with the overproof with this. Pretty amazing stuff.

Clairin 2018 Sonson

Clairin never fails If you love funk, you can’t go wrong with this. Overripe sugarcane, or the flavor you get when you actually bite one.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Pleasantly surprised I didn't have high expectations but this one was so balanced that I just grabbed the bottle and basically ran away with it. Very good harmony of typic

Ron Zacapa Edicion Negra

Dark and brooding What a smoky rum! Apart from the obvious fact that this will go perfectly in a Dark and Stormy, as a sipping rum this hits all the right notes while p

Plantation 2006 Peru 13-year

Spicy and woody Lots of woody and earthy spices round up the typical caramel, vanilla, and burnt sugar flavors. Cherry syrup is also present. A bit unbalanced but can

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Flavor punch If you want to taste the extent of what hogo tastes like, this is the rum to go for. It is very much present yet still integrated with a fruitiness ak

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Surprising rum! I didn't expect much of it but the melody of spices and hogo won me over. It's a good rum to get into for those seeking more adventurous flavors.

RL Seale ABV 43 10-year

Awesome value! The funk is never lost, and it tastes way more than it is priced. Definitely a steal!

Hampden Estate 8-year

Quintessentially Hampden You can’t have Hampden without that funk and there are loads of that. Great House of course trumps this one but what makes this great is that it has t

Clairin 2018 Casimir

A less funky expression In a side by side with Veritas/Probitas I would confuse both for one another.

Flor de Caña 18-year

A good rum to introduce friends to Nothing special with this rum, but it’s well made enough to make people taste it to show them rum that does not taste like backwater.

Angostura 7-year

A very balanced rum I won’t mind drinking this all night. Great on ice, and on a warm summer night!

Transcontinental Rum Line 2013 Panama 6-year

Well-made Tropical fruits but strangely not too fermented, the same profile you get when you know fruit is on its way to being rotten, which was a pleasant surp

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Fun rum! No frills, and you get what is expected of it: a pineapple bomb. A great conversation starter for people who are new to rum.

Diplomatico Mantuano

A good introductory rum Most people would not think of rum to taste like this, especially those who already have preconceived notions on what rum tastes like. In that sense,

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Oof! Oof is a great word to encapsulate this monster of a rum. Flavor bomb! Intense cinnamon, caramel, vanilla. Oof!

Matusalem Gran Reserva 23-year

I liked the younger rum better A bit too woody for my taste. But still a good rum, just that I liked the 15-year old one better.

Luisita 2015 Single Barrel Cask No 8157 5-year

What Philippine rum should be One of the first releases of Luisita, fully matured in ex-bourbon casks. Sour apples, cooked pineapple, a hint of dried coconut and fresh vanilla. On

Surprisingly good Expected a sugar bomb, was pleasantly proven wrong. Tons of wood and cinnamon, a tad dry, and develops into vanilla towards the end. A pretty good spi

Rum Fire White Overproof

The king of cocktail rums What a great overproof rum. Full of flavor and funk. If you like hogo profiles this is an amazing clear rum.

Myers's Original Dark

Seems like a good rum on the bar Too sharp neat, but works well in cocktails. Rum old fashioned? Get me more of that!

Zabana Sherry Oak Cask

Surprised with this considering the price Coming across this rum in the Duty Free area, I didn't expect much from it. I was pleasantly surprised when sherry notes did come through. The mouthfe

Diplomatico Planas

Great for cocktails! For sipping, it's nothing special, and the alcohol sting is apparent. But coconut notes dominate which is nice, and will hold its own on a cocktail.

Don Papa 10-year

Better than Small Batch Still artificially flavored, but at least this one has the decency to have woody notes apart from your sugar bomb.

Dos Maderas 5+3

A good intro to sherried rums Not unpleasant and inoffensive, a pretty good entry-level rum for those looking to see how sherry cask maturation affects flavor.

Blackheart Premium Spiced

I don’t mind that at all If you want a boozy Dr. Pepper without altering the Dr. Pepper profile too much, mix this with Coke.

Gosling's Black Seal

Tad too sweet You understand why this is the recommended rum for dark n stormy cocktails. The sweetness will balance out the ginger and spice notes.

Tanduay Superior 12-year

For the price it tastes way more than it is 300 pesos/7 dollars isn't bad at all for a passable rum. Cooked tropical fruit and vanilla and it could have rated higher were it not for the nonexist

Matusalem Platino

Meh Just okay. Nothing special. Typical platino notes.

Don Papa Small Batch

Hmm I understand that rum has flexible rules, but you know if distillers flout it for maximum benefit. Unfortunately this one is one of them. Just too ove

Matusalem Clasico 10-year

"Normal" Taste Run of the mill rum I guess. And a bit strong on the alcohol burn.

Flor de Caña Extra Dry 4

Cocktail Rum If you want a go to clear rum with uncomplicated flavors for cocktails this is quite okay.

Great entry level rum Couldn’t ask for more. A rum on the sweet and woody side, just the way Filipinos like their rum. Great mixer.

Kraken Black Spiced

Too damn sweet This can pass off as medicine for children, but I’m not sure if children would actually like it.

It is what it is I mean, it's nice as a mixer with coke. But neat or on the rocks, a cloying acetone note will persist in the finish. Not the finish that you want. But
