I have been taking rum seriously since 2018. My aim is to try as many rums as possible, and to then create the ultimate bespoke cocktail using the best rum.

Vanilla Heaven! I absolutely love this. For me it’s Utopia in a bottle, because it’s so deliciously sweet. Some may argue too sweet, but not for me. I say the sweeter

Dead Man's Fingers Coconut

Such a scrumptious sugary delight. This is amazingly luscious. The smell from the coconut made me salivate, even before I poured a single drop into my pre-chilled tumbler. What a fanta

Project #173 Chocolate

Nearly a perfect 10! Project # 173 chocolate flavoured rum smells like the powder you use to make the beverage hot chocolate, in other words absolutely luscious. This rum

Manchester Drinks Co Spiced Liqueur

A Saccharine Loaded Delight I really like this. I recently tried Caramel and Coconut Bombo rum liqueur and compared to that one, in my opinion, Manchester Drinks Co is a better c

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Beautifully smooth and silky. I bought this rum for a smidge under £50, and I think it’s impeccable. Now some people may argue, “I should bloody well think so for that price!” And

Golden Buck Golden Buck

A Fully Loaded Saccharine Delight. I want to start my review by saying that Golden Buck smells absolutely gorgeous, because the moment you open the bottle you are instantly hit with th

Belgrove Belgrove

Hazelnut Chocolate Bar in Rum Form!❤️ I need to start by telling you that Belgrove Hazelnut Rum smells a lot like Cadbury Dairy Milk Wholenut Chocolate Bar. In other words, bloody amazing!

It’s OK but not great. I honestly don’t know what to make of this rum, in regards to whether I actually like it or not. To me it has a slight nutty smell, which I do like, s

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

The smoky whiskey aftertaste lets this rum down. I’m not overly keen on this truth be told. Don’t get me wrong it’s not vile, by any stretch. I just believe it does not live up to all the hype that c

Pink Pigeon Vanilla Spiced

Like Admiral’s Old J Spiced Only Stronger The smell of Pink Pigeon is nothing to get to excited about. Yes you get notes of vanilla as you would expect, but for me, the aroma isn’t as pleasing

Dead Man's Fingers Spiced

A blend of Sweetness and Spice. In the rum group that I’m a member of on Facebook, DMF not only as a rum, but as a brand, polarises opinions, with some members saying they are to com

Bombo Carmel & Coconut

To sickly sweet for my liking. I thought this flavoured rum was going to be ideal for me, as I have a very sweet tooth, and there aren’t many ingredients on this planet, that are sw

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Run Of The Mill Rum! I feel that this rum is nothing extraordinary. In fact I would say that Sailor Jerry offers absolutely nothing in the way of standing out from the cro

Kraken Black Spiced

It’s OK When Mixed With Coca-Cola. If you’ve ever wondered how effective Coca-Cola really is as the perfect accompaniment to any rum, then I suggest you buy a bottle of Kraken and find

Red Leg Spiced With Caramelised Pineapple

Neat, nasty! With a mixer, ok. Neat, I don’t like this. For me there is no sweetness at all, just too much of a acrid sensation once swallowed. However, mixed with a quality mixer

Terrible neat! Gets slightly better with a mixer This is definitely not a sipping rum, because just like the pineapple version, neat, this has an horrendous alcohol after burn. The situation doesn’t

Ok as a long drink or as part of a cocktail. Got to say I’m not to enamoured with this. For me it doesn’t differ from any of the other spiced rums of this ilk and in this price bracket. In fact t

Very Bland. Very Ordinary. Very Uninspiring. I’m sorry but I’m struggling to find anything nice to say about this rum. To start with, it has a very bland smell and neat it tastes more like a chea

Two Swallows Spiced

The Salted Caramel ruins this rum! This review is for the CHERRY AND SALTED CARAMEL flavoured Two Swallows. I don’t like this at all! The flavours hit me in two waves. The first wave is

Dark Matter Spiced

Far to fierce! I bought this Rum for £25, RRP £29, so off to a good start, having saved £4. But that’s where the good vibes ended with this rum because, wow, how muc

Captain Morgan Dark

Disgusting! How much do I not like this! Not going to pull any punches here, it’s vile! It smells disgusting and tastes even worse. Not even using loads of Coca-C
