Don’t call it white rum! It’s too good to be piled on with the other “white” rums out there. Elevate your game with this one. So nice.

Plantation Isle Fiji rum

Plantation Isle Fiji rum

Plantation Isle Fiji

This stuff is fantastic I can’t believe this was not listed yet here- had to add it. If you see it, grab a bottle or several! Notes of butterscotch and pineapple on the nose

Barbancourt Reserve du Domaine 15-year

This stuff is nice! Warm cinnamon toast. Leather gloves. Apricot brandy. Roasted marshmallow. This is some damn fine stuff for sipping late at night while catching

Denizen Merchants Reserve 8-year

I’m glad it exists Mr Cate did a good job with this one. Makes a great mai tai (and any number of other classics) and is easier (for me) to track down a bottle of than

Hamilton Guyana 151

Ooh yeah! Must have. Mix up some zombies with this magic potion floating on top. End the evening with a little bit served neat. You’ll go to bed with a warm

Clement VSOP 4-year

Ooh I love this one. So beautiful. Sip it neat. Add some water. Have it on ice. Make a ‘Ti Punch. There’s nothing you can do with this that won’t be delicious, altho

Thomas Tew Authentic

Truly unique This is a really nice rum, perhaps the bourbon barrel aging imparts some special magic. Who knows. I like it on its own, or with a bit of pineapple

Barbancourt Estate Reserve 15-year

Beautiful This one is definitely worth snapping up. Soothing....charred bananas with vanilla and coffee. I love it. Wish I had some right now!

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Quality production All-around, considering what may be available at a random liquor store you wander into , this is a good, readily available, delicious rum. Thumbs u

Ron Zacapa Reserva Limitada 2019

Very good Good stuff out of Guatemala! Butterscotch molasses cookie. Solid selection.

Taylor’s Velvet Falernum

A must for your mixing needs Go get a bottle. Toss it in the freezer. Crucial element for your home bar!

Doctor Bird Pot Still

The funk, in a beautiful bottle I take a sip of this now and then but it will really make a cocktail shine. Inexpensive but hard to find. I love it!

Excellent They really made a good one. 5 and 8 years are nice as well but this really stands out. Very nice for sipping, inexpensive enough to play around

Clement Select Barrel

Good stuff But not as memorable as their VSOP. However, really engaging sipping rum, give some to your whiskey drinking friends or other agricole neophytes.

Always have on hand But alternating with Hamilton 151. Hard to pick a favorite. Good stuff, float it on your zombie and enjoy the day.

Good stuff! Something about these bottles always made me think it was foolishness. I had tried Their regular bottling too and it was ridiculously sweet. Then on

RL Seale ABV 43 10-year

Good stuff, not great At a very reasonable price point. Very enjoyable sip, good in any number of cocktails, and an odd bottle to boot. Well done Mr Seale.

Cruzan Black Strap

Surprised me! Nice one to have in your arsenal. For a dark and stormy, for example, it really can’t be beat. Good stuff. Unique. At “the nice price”.

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Love it I love it. Banana bread underneath a palm tree with cigar smoke drifting by from further on up the coast. Walk out to the shore. Dip your toes in.

Clement Blanc 40

Yes please Simple syrup, lime and a healthy dose of this stuff... yes please! Delicious.

The Scarlet Ibis Gold

My go-to daiquiri rum This is a good bottle, kind of hard to find in these parts but worth treasuring once you track some down. Keep it simple. Daiquiri with a splash of a

THE dark rum for mixing Tiki tiki tiki. Goslings is pretty good. Blackwell is nice. Merchants Reserve 100 proof Dark is the o my competition for this one though, when it c

Plantation 2002 Barbados

Only had this one once But it stuck with me! Very nice one from Plantation. I plan to pick up a bottle so I can try it in some different settings. Solid.

Cockspur Old Gold Special Reserve

Very nice one! This is in the running for my favorite “gold” rum. I would think of it alongside Xaymaca plantation, or the scarlet ibis. Really good stuff for a sim

Denizen 100 Proof

Good strong stuff Not as good as their merchants reserve blend, which is awesome, this is still a really good dark rum to have around for use in exotic cocktails. I fe

Doorly's XO 6-year

Wow- bang for the buck. Orange peel, fresh bread and licorice on the nose. Flavor is highly funky, with several tropical fruits lurking behind the esters. For the price,

Kahlúa Rum and Coffee Liqueur

Not sure this belongs here But I like it when I’m bowling. If you ever need a nice White Russian mixed up for you, talk to Jackie Treehorn. Word to the wise.

Real McCoy White Single Blended 3-year

Pretty good showing from Foursquare For the price conscious. Nowhere near as good as probitas for complexity in a white rum, but perfectly good in a mixed drink, and superior to most ot

George Ocean White

Actually pretty nice! I used to keep Cruzan on hand for just a cheap white rum when that’s what is called for in my tiki drink creations.... This may have taken over that

St. Augustine 1

Perfectly acceptable Had this in st Augustine a few times and although it’s not spectacular, it’s a pretty good showing. With a dark rum it’ll make a nice cocktail. Not on

Marti Dorado 3-year

Not terrible There are far too many superior rums of this style for me to buy this again, but I did enjoy it in some cocktails. Worth a try though. Good Cuba lib

Not too shabby Not as nice for sipping as the Bacoo 12 year, but really just as good as the 8 year for mixing up a drink. Good bargain overall.

Hamilton 86 Demerara

Good mixer It’s akin to Lemon Hart 1804. Good solid Demerara rums for use in tiki drinks, both overshadowed by their distillery’s much stronger (151) expression

Lemon Hart Original 1804

Nice Demerara Plays nicely with almost any tiki drink, And goes easy on your wallet as well.

Saint James Royal Ambre 18-Mois

I like this one It’s not on par with some of the agricoles out there, but it’s inexpensive and fantastic to have around to mix with other rums in a mai tai, or to hav

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Keep it stocked And pour it freely when mixing up tiki drinks for an afternoon by the pool. Don’t sip it. There are other runs for that.

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-year

Old Reliable You can count on being able to find this one almost anywhere, when it’s navy grog that you need, and that is a good thing.

Gosling's Black Seal

Serves its purpose. Good one to have on hand for certain tiki-adjacent concoctions. I grab it when I’m temporarily unable to locate a bottle of Coruba dark. As John Prine

Santa Teresa 1796

Decent solera sipper This is not spectacular But it’s not offensive. Perfectly acceptable sipper while relaxing on the patio after a good meal.

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Never had it neat.... But I have enjoyed a few daiquiris with this at a local favorite spot, lounging under live oaks. I can’t speak to it on its own, but with that simple

Appleton Estate V/X

Pretty basic stuff Inoffensive. Nothing here to rave about. Nothing here to complain about. Squeeze of lime and a splash of juice and it’s perfectly acceptable.

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Put on some reggae Pour a nice jigger of this on ice, Top with a few ounces of Ting. That’s a recipe for nice vibes.

The Nice Price Inferior by far to the Bacoo 12 year, but this is still a pleasant mixer, vanilla bean and oak-heavy. Not bad.

Antioqueno Aguardiente

Only has this one weekend Sitting in hotel balcony in Medellin watching the sunset. That was years ago. I’m not sure if this stuff is any good or not, but I’m going to give a

Canasteros 15-year

Pretty nice Suitable for sipping. There is a 21 year old expression by this company as well, both are very nice examples of the subtleties that can come from sol

Mount Gay Eclipse

Not too shabby I’ll order this one sometimes when the pickings are slim. Probably not bringing a bottle home though. Tasty enough when mixed into a nice fruity libat

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Good value plantation but not the best Nose is pretty unassuming: vanilla and oak, not much going on there. The taste is immediate black pepper and something grassy, leafy—- followed by

Appleton Estate Reserve 8-year

Jamaica This is a good standby rum. It’s not spectacular but it is not dreck. Jamaica knows how to make rum. Available everywhere. However, worth dropping

Ypioca Chrystal

Many nice caipirinhas Have I enjoyed with this one. Not something I would drink straight- That’s what agricole is for!

Siesta Key Distiller’s Reserve Spiced

It’s spiced rum Nothing to see here folks. It’s a bottle of spiced rum.

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Better than its insipid competition.... But in a category that is essentially of no use. I don’t see a reason to have spiced rum in your cabinet at all. If you feel that you must, I supp

Pyrat XO Reserve

Good packaging, mediocre product Not a terrible rum, but certainly overpriced. The best thing here is the flair in packaging, including a little metal pendant with some sort of Bud

Plantation Original Dark

Disney world stuff Plantation has some rums that I really enjoy. This is not one of them. This is made for drinking in your $13 Dole whip Cup at Disney World.

Dos Maderas 5+3

Average Not much worth noting here. I went through a bottle of it without ever feeling like I found a way for it to shine. Disappears in a cocktail. Not grea

Nothing to write home about But if you need a cheap white rum to throw into a twelve ingredient tiki cocktail, this will do the trick in a pinch.

Good for mixing Not great on its own but mixes in with some other rums and some fruit juice, citrus and bitters, and you will not complain.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Overrated and overpriced It’s not terrible but this 8+ rating from 2000 reviews is a head scratcher. It’s cloyingly sweet. Not very complex. I probably would rate it 6 but

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Not a fan This is not to my liking. Blandly innocuous. So much better out there, after buying a bottle of this once, I’ll not be fooled again.

Flor de Caña Anejo Oro 4-year

I know I had a bottle of this once I don’t remember thinking very highly of it. Not something I’ll go back to, but I will try some of the older Flor de caña bottles in the future. I’m

Mocambo 20 Art Edition

Odd Mexico, follow my advice: Stick to what you know. My reaction to this was the same as my reaction to Mexican chocolate. However, I am not a hat

Just don’t do it. Far too many good, reasonably priced gold runs out there to insult your palate with this drivel. Stay away.
