Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Now you're talking I managed to find the oldest bottle, with the Barbados depiction thereupon. Greatly balanced, rich taste, pleasant burn, crisp and satisfying. One of

Chairman's Reserve Spiced

Best spiced rum? Many people claim so. And you know what? They just might be right! This thing is great and overwhelmingly well balanced! Not too sweet, without burns

Nice I've always had a thing for spiced rum and honestly, it is what got me started! I treat spiced rum with special care and am always on the lookout for

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Nice present Special occasion. Dry, a bit harsh, but of high quality. It was enjoyable and didn't last long.

Doorly's XO 6-year

Very Good Rich taste, strong bite, burning sensation leaning heavily towards the pleasing spectrum, this has to be one of the best budget-treats out there. Dece

Pyrat XO Reserve

Ex-standard I used to like that. It is a bit expensive for its overall profile and not that much of a bargain, but still nice! It can please you, alright. It's a

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Not that great Too sweet. Smell is partially "masked", probably due to sweetness. I don't think it's bad, but something about it feels a bit off. I read a long prese

Havana Club 7-year

Souvenir from Cuba I got this as a gift from relatives, before 2010. Mediocre and basic, with the only thing noteworthy about it, being its bite. They also brought cigar

Foursquare Spiced

Good stuff, but It's really too harsh. I am actually familiar with Seale's/Foursquare/Doorly's products, which means i am aware concerning the pure VS sugarbomb issue

Captain Morgan Dark

"Dark", indeed Liked it even less than Morgan's spiced, but i used to drink that stuff many years ago. Wouldn't bother, ever again.
