Gosling's Family Reserve Old

Sensational Classy presentation in a dark, wax-dipped champagne bottle. I don’t normally comment too much on a rum’s colour, either, but happily make an exceptio

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Amazing! Nose: orange peel, beeswax, leather, vanilla, brown sugar, ginger, green apple, allspice and honeysuckle. A complex nose. On the palate: it’s smooth,

Plantation 2009 Single Cask Jamaica Tokaj Finish 10-year

Superb! Cask no. 03, bottle no. 347 The nose begins brightly, with discernible floral, ginger, honey and cantaloupe notes that I attribute to the Tokay bar

Clement XO 6-year

Sensational Everything about this rhum speaks of balanced elegance. The body is light but also very flavourful. The mouthfeel is likewise light but full at the sa

El Dorado 2006 Versailles Single Still 12-year

Fabulous! Fascinating nose - whisky like. The dark fruits remind me of Canadian Club 20 year old or a sherried single malt, like Glendronach 12. The nose contin

English Harbour 10-year

Worth seeking out The light colour of this rum somewhat belies a substantial nose and even weighter mouthfeel. On the nose is toffee, raisin and a bit of orange. Reall

Plantation 2008 Guyana

Excellent! Cask no. 05, bottle no. 112 The nose is not effusive but has real depth and complexity, redolent with vanillin-wood, a whiff of incense, and molass

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label 40 3-year

Great stuff! Strong and rich, I chose this to mark the 50th anniversary of “Black Tot Day”. There are some very perceptible, volatile esters on the nose, aromas of

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Excellent sipper! Lovely, perfumed nose of refined wood, with integrated vanilla, honey and dark fruits, like raisins. On the palate, immediately I get something unexpe

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

It’s very good! It’s fairly sweet, yes, but not as much as I anticipated. I respectfully disagree that it is a “rum liqueur”. It is very good sipping rum with some c

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-year

Very good! The nose is not terribly assertive but reveals the influence of cognac barrels, complemented by some of the characteristic agricole grassy/herbal note

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

A quality sipping rum This is a great sipping rum! I find the palate more interesting than the nose. On the nose I get integrated wood, brown sugar, spice and a faint smell

El Dorado 21-year

Very nice! The nose is more reserved that I expected but it still a very nice integration of wood and spice. The palate has sweetness but not as much some review

Plantation 2007 Jamaica Single Cask Sauternes Finish

Beautiful sipper Cask 05 Bottle 71 A blend of Long Pond and Clarendon, bottled in 2020 with zero dosage. On the nose there is mild funk, then a fabulous mix of arom

Plantation 2006 Peru 13-year

Pretty good Molasses predominates on the nose along with sweet oak and something faintly floral. The palate is smooth, slightly sweet and lightly syrupy, with mol

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

A Classic Funky Rum Not much to add that hasn’t already been said. On the nose I get bananas mixed with cinnamon but with a little water, those super funky esters go pung

Longueteau VS 3-year

Nice stuff! Nose: faint honey and vanilla mix with something faintly floral over top the beautiful wood aromas. The palate has a discernible saltiness up front, w

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Nice sipping rum I had seen this for months on the shelves but didn’t take it seriously. I picked it up after doing some reading of reviews here and other online sourc

El Dorado 2006 Port Mourant Single Still

An interesting study Compared to the ED Versailles 2006, the nose is less generous, with orange, some banana, a faint briny note, and something a touch more volatile, like

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Better than you might think I bought this after reading a number of ratings here, and was not disappointed. It’s quite sweet with a VERY pronounced vanilla smell complimented by

Plantation 2005 Jamaica

Very good A good amount of funkiness is found amid a generous nose full of ripe banana, papaya, spicy ginger and a faint top note of lime. The palate has more d

El Dorado 2006 Single Still Enmore 12-year

Good but not quite “next level” The nose initially it reminds me of VSOP cognac - a grapey note is prominent before fading off; it then opens up a bit more with some banana, spice an

Santa Teresa 1796

A great sipping rum Nose: unmistakably rum, with wood, vanilla buttercream and spice giving way to a touch of wasabi-style, nose clearing alcohol. The nose kind of remind

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Good stuff A specialized overproof rum that not many would use as a sipper. This is made for cocktails. But I did initially evaluate it straight up and then with

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Kaleidoscope of smells and flavours The nose hits immediately with plenty of Jamaican funk - strong aromas of overripe banana and nutmeg mix with stinky gym socks but also something like

Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala & Belize

Very nice The nose has a good amount of complexity, with ginger, flowers, bubble gum, molasses and something like freshly baked brioche. It’s very nice. The pal

Appleton Estate 15-year

Quite good The nose has discernible funk but for me, it’s not overripe fruit but a kind of mushroomy smell that is initially most prominent. With some time, ging

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-year

Everything in perfect balance Mild funk on the nose won’t scare off anyone. Otherwise a very nice nose of molasses, banana, wood, spice, and faint note reminding me of Playdough. T

Appleton Estate Reserve

Good mixer more than a sipper Nose: oaky, vanilla with a faint herbaceous note that reminds me of camphor or cough drops. Pepper and oak meet pumpkin pie spice. On the palate: pepp

Good As many others have already noted, this is very different from regular Bumbu: it’s quite dry and has none of the cloying qualities that seem to polari

Mount Gay Black Barrel

Pretty good but not amazing The nose is quite fragrant with depth, as toasty oak mixes with raisins and baking spices. The palate has lots of toasty wood too, and a hot Peppery b

Good, a ways to go... The nose is quite nice, if somewhat simple - molasses, vanilla and I get a faint marzipan note. But on the palate I found it a tad rough, which admitt

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Not great but good value The palate is more interesting that the nose. I don’t really get very much of anything on the nose except some faint wood. The palate is semi-sweet, w

Kraken Black Spiced

Better than I expected I had low expectations on this but was pleasantly surprised! It’s not amazing but there are many worse examples. The nose is full of sweet vanilla - i

Flor de Caña 12-year

For me, a mixer not a sipper The nose is quite nice, with polished wood and spice - a typical profile. The palate has the same polished oak aromas found in the nose, raisin and ri

Real McCoy Single Blended 5-year

Not terribly interesting My first Foursquare rum. The nose has nice aromas of oak and brown sugar that remind me more of aged Canadian whisky. The palate has more oak, along w

Plantation Isle Fiji

Nice! There is some funkiness on the nose, which I experienced as something like green onion and freshly baked rye bread. Under it are honey and molasses no

Favell’s London Dock Demerara

Nostalgic memories At 57.1% abv, this is not a rum I would sip without a few drops of water added. I like my rum neat as a sipper but this would probably do better mixed

Gosling's Black Seal

Pretty average stuff The nose is bright with molasses and a prominent cola note; the nose could pass for a mixed rum and coke. It also has a faint note reminding me of she

Captain Morgan Deluxe Dark

Nose is quite good before the heat appears... The nose is nice, with wood, molasses and baking spices. It’s simple but quite pleasant! The palate is non-descript, with mild sweetness over top a mo

Captain Morgan Bold Spiced

Better than I expected Bottled at 50% abv, the nose reminds me initially of powdered hot chocolate or packaged cake mix - fake but enticing... There is also a pleasant green

Not as bad as some suggest I’m indebted to Bumbu for re-igniting my interest in rum. Last year when I tried it I thought it was one of the very best rums I’d ever tried. Having

Barbancourt White

A solid choice I don’t normally comment too much on bottles and labels but I love the “old school”, more vintage look of Barbancourt, with its wide opening and wider

Plain and simple Many of the reviews here seem exaggerated in their dislike of this rum and others like it. They are often funny to read but I take many of them with a

Bacardi Superior

Nothing great The nose is better than I expected. There is an overall, clean tropical fruit vibe that is not bad. On the palate, however, it falters. It has.a tad o

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

Not great Nose: light, thin, not much of anything going on. There is something mildly floral going on in the nose. On the palate, the presence of alcohol is app

Captain Morgan Dark

Not great Nose: not much of anything. It smells like rum but does not have any nuanced complexity. On the thin palate is a taste of burned sugar but not much el
