Appleton Estate 50-year

10 out of 10 because of everything it is!! Now Im not just throwing full marks at this because its fifty years old, but the concept of it does get it at least 1 point. The oldest rum available

Diplomatico Reserva

Really Enjoyed This! I used to sell this a while back in an old bar i worked in and remember trying it around the time i was really falling in love with rum (Dont get me w

Another Great From Zacapa Similar to the 23yr the XO has many of the same elements that come through probably due to the solera ageing only this time its older and has more of

Pusser's British Navy ”Nelson’s Blood” 15-year

Awesome, is all i can say... Up there with the 1703 in the fact that i would give this a 10 if i hadn't tried the Appleton 50yr. As well as being aged in wood for 15 years, Pusser

Elements 8 Platinum

Best white rum house pour going! For me, this is the best white rum about, its fresh, clean and crisp with hints of citrus fruits. A Medium bodied rum which is great for Mojito's!!

Elements 8 Spiced

Best Spiced Rum Going! Ok, as you can tell with my reviews of the white and amber i really do love this range, and can honestly say this is the best spiced rum choice about

Elements 8 Gold

Best Choice for £30!! Really love this range of rums, The Amber has nice subtle oak aromas with honeyed raisin and fruit and has a smooth velvety finish. Makes a mean Daiqu

Havana Club 15-year

Cuban Greatness! Really enjoy this little beauty! Its full on flavour and smooth finish balances brilliantly with rich, dried, dark fruits and spices with just enough

Beija-Flor Velha

My Favourite Cachaca, Full stop. Tried the Beija trio on the same day and this one really stood out for me. You get a lot of vanilla and faint notes of cocoa on the nose with an oaky,

Beija-Flor Reserva Especial

The Best Cachaca Ever Made?? Quite possibly!! Although I will admit the Velha is my favourite, thats mainly because if im using Cachaca its to make me a Caipirinha and i wouldnt r

Kraken Black Spiced

Great Spiced Rum Genuinely love this stuff! Defo up there in my top 3 spiced rums for sure. I really like the bottle and the brand aswell as the contents. Its very ric

Mount Gay 1703 Old Cask

One of the best!! I honestly sat contemplating for a while wether this would be my only other 10 so far and its definately the next best thing ive drank after the Apple

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label 40 3-year

Fave Navy Rum The original and in my view best Navy rum. Quite a floral nose with tones of leather carry into treacly stewed stone fruits in a long full bodied fini

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Love this guy!! Not your typical Molasses based rum this one. Its made from the first press of the sugar cane only resulting in a much smoother end product. Citrus, s

Appleton Estate 21-year

Another Tasty Appleton! With the 12 yr being good, its no suprise the extra maturation of the 21 yr makes this jus that little bit better ;-) Its more complex, giving you hea

Blackwell Black Gold Special Reserve

Black Gold I really liked this rum after trying at the rum fest a couple of years ago. It was warm, with a hint of spice, as well as being sweet with dried fruit

Chairman's Reserve Spiced

My 2nd Fave Spiced Rum! Now this is more like in the Spiced catagory! Lovely warm balance of spices with cloves and cinnamon leading over the typical vanilla aswell as a good

Best Over-Proof Ive Tried... Yeah for me this is good stuff! It's handy to have a decent over proof and for me, its the best ive found so far. Doesnt kill off your entire mouth up

Best Dark Rum On The Market! Quite a statement i know, but as im not the biggest fan of dark rum and trying this was an absoulte pleasure of a suprise, im going to stick to it! Re

Foursquare Spiced

Quality Bajan Spiced Rum Certainly in my top 3 spiced rums alongside Chairmans and Element 8 but id say it's the sweetest and has the most vanilla. Try making a spiced Mojito

Flor de Caña 18-year

Very Enjoyable Stuff! The oldest offering from the guys in Nicaragua. A rich aged rum with plenty of caramel and cocoa that is suprisingly dry with plenty of oak leaving a

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Nice aged Dominican The Solero blending method used here gives this rum a nice light oakiness, with subtle caramel and citrus coming through on the palate.

Beija-Flor Pura

Great Cachaca Was very impressed when the Beija-Flor guys turned up with their selection of Cachaca's to try. The pura was remarkably smooth for a silver and you re

Black Tot Royal Navy

Good rum with a twisted history? So we all know the story given behind the guys responsible for marketing this rum and to be fair they did well (and made good money!). But, I have bee

Havana Club 7-year

Nice Mid-Range Number Big fan of the 15yr for sipping means im more than happy to use the 7yr in cocktails. Lighter and smoother than expected with wood and vanilla on the

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Very Nice XO Handsomely complex sipper thats perfect on the rocks or in an old fashioned. Banana's, vanilla and light warm spices with a nice smooth finish.

Los Valientes 15-year

A pleasant surprise! This awesome guy from Mexico is a blend of Agricole and Molasses rums then aged 15 years in white oak barrels. You get a mellow blend of toffee, spicy

Angostura 1919 8-year

An Alright Amber Also was a while back when i tried this, tasty enough but not too exciting.

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Great Entry Level Amber I think this is one of my favourite 'entry level' rums. Probs pick this up for about 15 quid n wont find much better in the same price bracket. Would

Appleton Estate V/X

Amber House Pour Standard amber rum, infact right now its my bar's house pour. I know ive only given it a 6 but for me a 6 is a good standard score. Theres a lot bette

Makes a decent Mojito For me this is the best Bacardi product ive tried so far, it has good balance and is still quite light at the same time as having some nice flavours c

Great Starter Rum I only tried this recently as it was the house pour at a friends bar n i must say for a house pour its great! Get a slighty woody, smokey complexity a

Chairman's Reserve 4-6 Years

Nice Carribean Style Rum Definately up there in its price bracket, a typical example of a rum from this area with the honey, vanilla, light spice and exotic fruits all hitting

Diplomatico Añejo

Top of its price range Very good for the 20ish quid mark! Has a good complexity of flavours, with cocoa and oaky spices going through to raisins, caramel and vanilla. Kind o

Flor de Caña Gold 4

Good stuff for 20 quid! Had a shot of this the other day with a friend as it was their house pour and was very pleasantly suprised. It has a nice balance for only a 4 yr old

Gosling's Black Seal

Solid Choice Still not the biggest fan of Black rums but its a quality product and has always been on my back bar. Stick it in punch or afloat the top of your Zomb

Typical Mid-Range Cachaca Better than your Sagatiba's but nothing particularly special. Fine for a Caipirinha.

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-year

Nice Balanced 7 Year Found this to be a pretty standard middle of the range rum offering. With notes of fruit, nuts and spice in the body that lead to a light smoky oak fi

Flor de Caña 12-year

Was enjoyable but... This is a fine 12 year rum, smooth, balanced and full of fruits, nuts and light spice flavours but unfortunately for this rum i tried it right before

Solid Choice For An Overproof For the rare times i need an overproof rum, this isnt a bad choice at all and is quite rich and full bodied (not that im going to sip it straight up..

Appleton Estate Reserve

Fresh from Jamaica! Think this is one of my favourite ‘middle range’ rums. Would happily sip on this but at the same time wouldnt feel bad about making a cheeky Daiquiri

Koko Kanu Coconut

Top flight for a coconut rum! Most people that want this either know its a solid option for cocktails or have ordered a Malibu and coke when you dont sell it. For this reason it ge

Matusalem Platino

Decent Standard White Rum For a white rum in the speed rail you could do a lot worse, its a clean and crisp whilst being warm and buttery at the same time. Perfect for mixing i

Mount Gay Eclipse

Favourite rum under 20 bucks! Personal fave in the go to price bracket. Easy drinking, easy mixing versatile amber with a light smoky, vanilla edge and tropical fruits.

Myers's Original Dark

Good Mid-Range Dark Rum Better than your typical navy rum, this heavy molasses has bags of stewed fruit and treacle on offer. Great for cocktails.

Angostura White Reserva

Pretty Standard White Rum Was a while back i tried this but dont remember it being anything special...

Overproof In Your Face! Ok its 151, its 75.5% the first shot you take and you know about it, but to be fair ive had worse... After your mouth settles down after the initial t

Bacardi Superior

Not much needed to be said! Its Bacardi, i dont need to say anything else really, everybody's tried probably the biggest standard white rum in the world. Its not great, but as a

Not too different from the Superior As its not dissimilar from the superior and i didnt have much to say about that this is it really... very basic amber rum!

Bacardi Oakheart

Middle ground spiced rum So this new spiced contestant for me is smack bang in the middle of the park. A good few are much better (Elements 8, Chairmans etc), but it certainly

Doorly's XO 6-year

Alrite, But not the best in its range Ok a know a fair few people that absoulutely love this rum but for the 25-30 bracket i can think of a good few id rather to be honest. It is a good ru

El Dorado 3-year

Nice, Standard, White Rum Pretty basic rum, good to have on the bar as a replacement for Bacardi and thats about it really...

El Dorado 5-year

Pretty Standard Again! Again, as with the 3 yr its a pretty basic rum. not a lot to say really but could do worse in a cuba libre...

Dzama La Cuvée Blanche

Massive Citrus In A White Rum Tried a few from Dzama recently and thinking back to this white of theres and instantly all i can remember is Wow, thats a lot of citrus! There's more

Havana Club 3-year

Basic rum from a solid family Pleasant enough with light vanilla, chocolate and caramel making their way through. Perfect if your knocking out Mojito's or Cuba's.

Standard Dark Rum Typical heavy molasses dark rum. Top off a cocktail or drink it with coke.

Pampero Especial

Something Missing? Unfortunately i tried this guy a while after having a bottle of the Aniversario for a while so maybe it just couldnt live up to that but it seemed lac

Santa Teresa Gran Reserva

Middle of the road amber Now theres nothing wrong with this rum but I think of Venezuela and unfortunately i can think of 3 others that I would say are better from that climat

Appleton Estate Special Gold

Basic Amber Beginning of the range. Could do worse, much better available though...

Captain Morgan Dark

Bog Standard Dark Rum Its just that, a standard dark rum, thats been around forever n is now produced in mass amounts for the purpose of being sold in pubs with coke. Im no

Cockspur 5 Star Fine

Standard But Cheap! Not gonna say its great, or that you get a complexity of flavours but if youve got around a tenner in your pocket and want a rum and coke when you get

Havana Club Blanco

Havana entry level Basic white from the Havana guys. Fine as a replacement on the bar for Bacardi, chuck it on ice with coke or ginger beer!

Standard Cachaca Nothing special here. A typicl and popular entry level Cachaca for making Caipirinha's. Quite a rough finish and with nothing distinctive, I'd recomme

Bundaberg Original UP

Not for me... Ive only tried this of the range and wouldnt say no to investigating some of their others but for me it just didnt excite me. It was different and ill

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Used to be better! Well i think most people agree the original recipe was a bit better, Ive even seen someone from there apparently quoted giving advice to add sugar and

Captain Morgan Spiced

Not Great One of the less impressing spiced rums available in my opinion (Not that its even a rum technically, at only 35%) So not much to say really, try some

Bog standard coconut rum Standard coconut rum and coke found in every local pub

Not all that :-/ This one is even worse than the pura in my opinion. Obviously not a great product to begin with, it seems after aging it doesnt get any better, i find
