Flavorful I find this rum flavorful and fruity, i like it a lot.

El Dorado ICBU Single Barrel

Great rum These single barrels are great stuff, from the old stills which are unique in this world. It´s rum for demerara geeks and connaisseurs.

In between 5 and 12 I find this great rum to stand in between the 5 yo and the 12 yo. It`s a great sipper and mixer, both and to a good price.

Clement Creole Shrubb

Great product Great product, can be used to sub orange liqueur in cocktails, it´s great in a Mai Tai for example.

Great sipper and mixer! This one is very tasty, it´s a sipping rum first of all but does make great cocktails as well. The old rule of thumb is never wrong - the better base

Good rum This is the Bacardi to get if you want to have a great sipping and mixing rum. Forget about the white one called "superior" and buy this one instead.

Smooth rum Nice smooth sipper and the bottle is quite fun, looks to me like a seal stretching up to catch a fish...A genuine rum, real Bajan flavor, no nonsense

Taylor’s Velvet Falernum

Great mixer for tiki drinks Falernum is a must in many tiki drinks and even though the very best and most vibrantly flavored falernum is homemade, this one is a good option.

Good mixer The orange flavor is exquisite in this one and it can be used as a mixer in cocktails with good results.

Castries Peanut Rum Creme

Yummy This is one of those kinds i don`t drink too often but when i do i really enjoy...drink as is with a little ice or mix a coffee-type of cocktail.
