Dos Maderas PX 5+5

I love sherried scotch and this scratches the itch. Sure, it's not really rum-like. This is more like a fine sipping scotch at half the price. Tried side-by-side with Glendronnach 12 and Aberlour A'Buna

Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black

Delightful Jamaican Rum. This is wonderful. Loads of overripe bananas and rotting fruits. Hints of bandaid and maybe phenols. This is truly superb with a lot of nuance. I feel

Maggie's Farm Hidden Harbor White

The best multi-island rum I've tried. This is wonderfully deep and makes an excellent daiquiri. Maggie's Farm has a great line up and this is their magnum opus. This blend tastes like it h

Hamilton Guyana 151

This has no business being this drinkable. Having tried the Plantation OFTD and being very impressed, but I wanted to try this one. The demerara, caramel, vanilla, spice, and a hefty dose of oa

Hamilton 86 Demerara

Delicious Demerara. I've only tried Pusser's as far as Demerara rum goes to this point. This has wonderful dry brown sugar notes. Demerara and oak notes meld with vanilla

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Yum. I like HOGO and I like funk. This gets the job done and brings that tropical note to anything it touches. Definitely one of the best out there, especi

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-year

Really rich character, oaky funk. This one is a delightful sipper with a nice rich overripe banana funk, tropical fruits, oak, vanilla, tobacco, and a very dry finish. This one also wo

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

That's Delicious This is to date the only Overproof I've tried, but it is delightful. I really like this one. It has notes of overripe bananas, demerara sugar, molasse

Delicious for sipping and for cocktails. Rich molasses, vanilla, wood, tobacco, and slightly fruity notes. This one is wonderful in cocktails as well. I've used it for several "Smuggler's Cov

Maggie's Farm 50/50 Pineapple

Delicious to sip and to mix. I've found that this works wonders in a Rum Negroni and is pretty tasty neat or on the rocks. It has almost no sweetness and a large amount of pineapp

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Good sipper, good mixer. Great in a tiki drink and tasty to sip on. Will have to review it more in depth after more analysis.

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-year

This is the only demerara rum available in my area. A product of Guyana or not, this has delicious demerara character with a deep woody flavor. I like this one a lot in tiki drinks, it adds a lot and ad

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Funk and Gasoline What to say. This is great in a Wray & Ting. It has a great funky banana flavor with a lot of HOGO, but it also has a somewhat off-putting gasoline no

Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal

Delightful white rum. I'm aware that this isn't technically a white rum, but it has wonderful elements of Jamaican rum with a slight funk and a hint of caramel. There's def

Havana Club 7-year

Long gone, but not forgotten. This was the other half of my present from Cuba. I recall it being more molasses forward with a distinctly woody character. Quite good, and from what

Blackwell Black Gold Special Reserve

Better than Gosling's. I like this one for its subtle notes of Jamaican funk laced with molasses and vanilla with hints of oak. This one is great in cocktails. It's not grea

Plantation Barbados 5-year

I thought this one had a nice flavor. Not the most unique or the deepest flavor out there, but it adds a lot to cocktails with notes of oak, vanilla, molasses, caramel, and a slightly spic

Rhum JM Blanc 50

My first agricole blanc. This has tasty vegetal, earthy notes. It is beautifully dry and very tasty. Works well in ti'punches and in Tiki drinks with a split base.

Dutch East Indies Trading, Ltd. Batavia Arrack Van Oosten

Similar to an Agricole Notes are very similar to an agricole with a hint of rubber and a slightly pungent banana note alongside earthy flavors. Not bad, but definitely a bit

Rhum JM Gold Eleve Sous Bois 1-year

Not as good as the Blanc. This for some reason is both harsher and less nuanced than the Blanc. The vegetal notes are muted and the oak really doesn't add much to this one.

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-year

I like this. I don't love it. This one has a very oak-forward flavor with hints of vegetal flavors, vanilla, and a hint of sweetness. Not my favorite, but not bad in cocktails.

A decent Jamaican-style rum This doesn't reach the depth of funk that true Jamaican rum does, but it's good for what it is; a love letter to dunder made in a sustainable way in P

Gosling's Black Seal

A good baseline "black rum." This is kinda two-note with lots of molasses and vanilla notes. Definitely more of a mixer than a sipper, but it works well in cocktails. Not sure I w

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

This one gets a lot of use in cocktails. I've been making rum cocktails for months and the slightly funky Jamaican character of this rum brings a lot to the table. Quite good in cocktails. No

Havana Club 3-year

Given as a gift. My fiance went to Cuba some years ago and this was one of her presents for me. A delicious, yet simple sipping rum. Definitely worthwhile.

This is a safe bet for readily available cachaca. Maybe cachaca as a whole isn't my jam, but it isn't the most complex thing I've tried. Good in Caipirinhas and alright neat.

Maggie's Farm White

A decent white rum. The rest of their lineup is great, this one is kinda bland. It has notes of vanilla and caramel and that's about it. Not bad, but not great either. Wo

A decent cocktail ingredient. I've taken to using this one in cocktails that call for "Puerto Rican" or "Virgin Islands" rum, specifically those by Jeff Berry. Definitely good as a

Good for cocktails. Similar to the light version with a slightly woody flavor. Good for cocktails. I use it when cocktails call for "Puerto Rican" or "Virgin Islands" rum

Cruzan Hurricane Proof

It does what it says. I've been using this in place of "Puerto Rican 151" in cocktails that call for it and it does what it says on the bottle.

A decent ingredient and entry point. Nothing fancy here, just a decent Jamaican rum with just the tiniest hint of funk.

Mount Gay Eclipse

This ones good in cocktails, but nothing special. I've found that this doesn't bring a ton of unique notes to the cocktails it's in, but it isn't bad. A bit of vanilla and molasses, but definitely dry

Kraken Black Spiced

Much better than Captain, but not great. The artificial black color and the synthetic spice flavor don't do it for me. Still, it's drinkable and works fine with Coke. If I wanted to make a sp

Bacardi Superior

Alright for mixing, but lacking character. This is the consummate generic rum for non-tiki cocktails. It isn't absolutely terrible, but it is undrinkable on its own. I have a bottle for Mojitos

Not bad in a Caipirinha, awful neat. This has notes of earthy dryness akin to a rhum agricole, but also has harsh gasoline notes that come through loud and clear neat. Mixed its palatable

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

Not a good Spiced Rum I haven't had this in years, but I remember the fake vanilla flavor to this day. I prefer locally sourced spiced rum with real spices infused in it.

Cane Run Number 12

Worse than Bacardi. This one has an awful acetone note and tastes more like a lightly sweetened vodka. Terrible in cocktails, terrible on its own.
