Opthimus 25-year

Great choice Sweet and very smooth with a long taste, alcohol almost not noticeable. A very nice taste and certainly worth the price.

Cartavio XO

Complex, smooth and not overly sweet Very classy and smooth sipper with a complex long lasting taste. Easily recommendable to everyone.

El Dorado 12-year

12 or 15? Sweet and smooth straight up. Easily recommendable to people new to rum. The differences between the 12-year and 15-year El Dorado are existent but

Gold of Mauritius Solera 5-year

Sweet and nutty I initially mostly smelled ethanol and didn't expect a great taste from a 5-year old Rum. I was wrong! Intense and smooth taste for a 5-year old. Swee

Santa Teresa 1796

With some edge A complex taste that is a bit flawed by some rough ethanol tasting edges. Overall still a good choice if you're okay with a bit of a rougher finish.

Kaniche XO

Sweet coconut Sweet with a distinct flavor of coconut. Quite similar to one of my favorites, the Plantation XO, although not as sweet. Definitely worth a buy if you

Okay It is okay to drink straight up but might be kind of hard compared to older El Dorados. From what I've seen the price is very similar to the 8-year El

El Dorado Dark

Empty Straight up this one simply tastes very empty and harsh, not that I really expected anything more for that price.

Plantation Original Dark

Jamaica? No thanks The old version (Trinidad & Tobago) used to be the best among its price class in my humble opinion. Too bad it's not available anymore and instead we
