Real McCoy 12-year

An unpolished real rum with a hint of sweetness The Real McCoy 12-Year Rum tastes younger than other 12 year old rums. I would describe it as unpolished. Yet it has a hint of sweetness to it that re

XM Millenium 12-year

Great fair priced Rum from Barbados The XM Millenium 12 Year taste reminds me of many much more expensive Rums from Barbados.

Rum Nation Demerara Solera No 14

Good Demerara Rum! A typical Demerara rum. Despite costing about as much as a El Dorado 12 this one appears much older, revealing a well rounded, warm yet spicy finish t

El Dorado 8-year

Superb for mixing but sippable The El Dorado 8 Years is considerably spicier than it's 12 year counterpart but equally sweet. It feels lighter and less smooth. In my opinion thi

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!

Diplomatico 2002

Significantly less sweetness compared to the Reserva Exclusiva, also more spice Surprisingly it has significantly less sweetness compared to the Reserva Exclusiva. The taste is definitely more demanding. I recommend you give t

Similar to Oliver's Exquisito 1985 Vintage Solera A sweet, well rounded, not too spicy premium rum. Great for sipping.

Dictador 1985 Best 1985

Great vintage rum The "Best of 1985" is a great example of Dictador's Best of line of rums. I just wish it had a little bit more strength.

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

Decent Panamesian Rum If you like premium rum this one will probably more to your liking than the original Bumbu. It's a "real" rum without added sugar. It's worth to note

The Duppy Share Caribbean

Very fruity and spicy rum The Duppy Share features a fruity and light aroma. Yet it is very spicy. Unpolished perfection?

Diplomatico Reserva

Tame sweet rum The Reserva Exclusiva stands out from other sweet rums because it is so well balanced. The Reserva isn't. It's sweet but just a little bit too light,

Mount Gay 1703 Old Cask

Cubaney Exquisito 21-year

Sweet fruity rum Sweet, light, mild taste with a hint of fruitiness.

Too expensive Tastes like a good but not too light French rhum agricole blanc. The problem: You will get good VSOP at this price point.

HSE VSOP Reserve Speciale 4-year

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

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.

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.

Atlantico Reserva

Not as pale as the Private Cask rum It has a sweet scent and a light sweet taste like the Private Cask rum but it isn't as boring because it has considerably more taste to it. However, i

Ron Zacapa Centenario 15

Good It has a very sweet scent but it tastes less sweet. It is a balanced rum with a strong alcohol aftertaste. Works well in cocktails or on the rocks.

Old Man Spirits Rum Project One

Sweet rum with coconut taste The first batch of this rum was balanced and sweet. Almost no spiciness but wholehearted rum aroma. I'd give it 9/10. The second batch however has a

(Too) sweet but well composed I was skeptic when I tried this rum and in deed it isn't my taste. It is quite sweet (8 out of 10 on the sweetness scale) and tastes a bit artificial.

Cruzan Single Barrel

Mediocre Very (too?) spicy and a little bit of sweetness. For those who like a strong rum. Probably great for mixing as well.

Centenario 12-year

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

Havana Club 3-year

Angostura 1919 8-year

Good for mixing Light, fruity and spicy. Its a somewhat decent rhum agricole but I personally don't like this fruity taste at all. I can recommend it for mixing.

Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala

pungent aftertaste Sweet scent and sweet taste as well, that is followed by sharp spiciness and pungent hay aftertaste. Whiskey aficionados might like it.

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

Atlantico Private Cask

Pale Sweet scent, a hint of sweet taste. A very light rum. Boring.
