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.

Don Q Gran Anejo

Smooth sipper I find this rum a smooth sipper but doesn`t have the heaviness that i prefer in rums, but it´s a typical PR style rum, a bit lighter but not a bad one

Santa Teresa 1796

A nice rum It´s a nice rum but it doesn`t knock my socks off:-)

Santa Teresa Rhum Orange Liqueur

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

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.

Wood's 100 Old Navy

Great for tiki drinks This rum is famous for mixing good tiki drinks and rightly so, it adds that punch the drinks needs. Strong and flavorful.

Lemon Hart Original 1804

Good for tiki drinks and tropical rum drinks This is a great rum for tiki drinks and tropical rum cocktails! An old classic...but not as great as the 151...not as much of a sipper as it`s a mixin

Dillon Blanc 55

Dillon Here`s another lively rhum agricole, great for ti-punch and in tiki drinks!

Coruba Original

Tiki drink essential One of the classic tiki drink rums, one you just need to have, it mixes well with most things and adds a robust dark flavor.

Great stuff! This one have been used a lot in tiki bars especially in London and it does mix well in that type of drinks. It goes very well with pineapple juice a

A great agricole rhum A well balanced rhum agricole, with the typical grassy notes. I love to use it mixed in tiki drinks! and the occasional punch vieux.

Doorly`s XO A good sipper and a bargain for what you get. Typical Barbados rum and it`s real. What I lack is a bit more "punch".

Ti punch! Lots of flavors here, and great for a ti punch!

Appleton Estate

Appleton 8 yo Another good mixing rum but the 12 yo is a much better choice.

Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal

A good mixer Full of flavor and it mixes well with everything. The downside is the 12g/L added sugar.

Banks 7 Golden Age

Banks 7 Golden Age Mellow, toffee, sweet, a hint of wood and a little bit spicy. Most likely there`s sugar added to the rum but I don`t know.

Pusser's British Navy

Pusser's British Navy 15-Year Rum One of the classics... the only thing I don`t like is that it has 24g/L sugar added.

Havana Club Blanco

Havana Club Blanco It`s a mixing rum and has some flavs to it but it too can make a good daiquiri. It´s one of those old shelf rums...it`s always there even if not alway

Gosling's Black Seal

Dark N Stormy anyone? This rum is perfect for the Dark N Stormy cocktail with it´s dark, thick flavor. Also good in tiki drinks, obviously.

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale

Myers's Original Dark

Myer´s Dark One of the staples for tropical and tiki drinks. It`s not among the best, not at all but some tiki drinks just need this rum.

Havana Club 3 yo This is another "always on the shelf rum" for years...it makes a good daiquiri and it`s just one of those you want to have on hand. It´s not a premium

Bayou Rum Silver Like the dark and the spiced ones, it´s a great budget rum and this one makes a good daiquiri. A mixing rum.

Bayou Rum It`s a mixing rum and goes well with coke for example. It`s a good rum but not premium. But it´s one of those that can be a versatile rum, i bet it´s

El Dorado 12 yo This one is a lot sweeter and less punchy than the 15 yo and to me this one is best used in cocktails but can sip too, if only it didn`t have so much

El Dorado 21-Year A more refined, mellow and complex version of the 12 and 15 combined sans the smokiness from the 15. Mixed fruits and spicy oak, dark chocolate, vanil

In between 5 and 12 I find this rum to stand in between the 5 yo and the 12 yo. The 15g/L added sugar takes down my rating.

Vanilla rum I find this rum tasty but too sweet and too much vanilla in the taste. it has a very pronounced vanilla flavor, but too much for me and I am a lover o

Brugal Especial Extra Dry

Mixing rum Mixes well in cocktails and that´s about it. But there are way better white rums to mix drinks with though...

Cachaca This one is most likey just colored and it´s not the best of cachacas, far from it. It´s produced for the masses abroad or so i believe.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva This rum contains no less than 41g/L of added sugar and that is too much sugar for my taste. It would be much better if this rum could have been left
