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!

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

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

Solid overproof rum A very spicy, rough overproof rum. Great for cocktails!

Clement Creole Shrubb

Clement's Grand Marnier First off: This is rum as much as Grand Marnier is Cognac. It tastes a lot like Grand Marnier but smoother and lighter.

Ron Zacapa Centenario 15

Sweet rum with orange taste Strong orange scent, mediocre orange taste and sweetness accompanied by hint of spiciness.

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

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

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.

Plantation Panama

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

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

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.

(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.

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

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.

Promising smell, disappointing taste Ron Aldea Anejo 3-5 years smells sweet and fruity but you will also notice a heap of alcohol. I tastes very dry, has minimal sweetness and a harsh alc
