Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Great! I don't like flavored rums at all. But once you read the text on the label you know that this isn't a typical flavored or spiced rum. It's great!

Very Good Rhum Agricole Blanc Great for mixing, best rum for ti punch out there. But for sipping I would give him only 4/10.

Clement Canna Bleue

Good for mixing Like the "rhum blanc" this one is recommendable for mixing. It is a good rum for cocktails, especially the ti punch. This isn't a sipper however.

A great Rhum Agricole Smooth and well balanced Rhum Agricole. There certainly are other even better Rhums out there but at it's price point Clement's VSOP is really har

El Dorado 12-Year

Dictador 20-Year

Good rum, but doesn't stand out when compared with the 12-Year-Old Spicy scent but rather neutral, well rounded taste. A good rum but almost identical to the 12-Year-Old, it's just a bit smoother. The 12-Year-Old is b

Havana Club Anejo Reserva

Sippable mixing rum Like its 3 years brother this one this one shines as a mixing rum. If you sip it you will notice complex tastes. Its not too spicy.

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

A tasty special rum? A great scent, well balanced taste but a little too much Sherry taste for me to make it a real favorite.

Good but pricy rhum agricole It has a sweet scent that reminds me of sweet rums from Barbados. Its mild but complex and rather rough. I like it but when I take it's price into

Plantation Panama 2002

Great rum from Panama Plantation Panama Old Reserve 2002 has a minimal hint of sweetness to it and bit of fruitiness and spiciness.

Great scent, okay taste Packaging, cork and bottle are magnificent at it's price point. Absolutely worthy of a premium rum twice as expensive. The scent is sweet and promis

Havana Club 3-Year

Classic mixing rum This one is a classic mixing rum. It is the mojito rum. Its a little bit spicy and very neutral. No rum for sipping.

Light and sweet rum The Ron Centario 12 Years is light and sweet but at the same time has a very noticeable ethanol flavor.

Neutral, almost pale rum This rum is light, with minimal sweetness and has a very spicy aftertaste.
