Vizcaya Cristal

The best white rum. Period. Oliver & Oliver know rum and if you drink this, you will too. Seriously do some research and you'll know what I mean since the bottle only says "Cub

Vizcaya VXOP 21

Wow! by far the best sipping rum around. My personal favorite. Distilled from straight sugarcane and not molasses. Very sweet but goes down so damn smooth.

El Dorado 12-year

Wow! This IS some good stuff Very full body and sweet as hell, sort of reminds me of a decent scotch thanks to the barrel, aging procedure, and the general technique behind this

Matusalem Platino

perfect mixing white The taste of this rum is many steps above the other white rums in the under $20 category. Made in the Dominican Republic closely following an old Cuba

pretty decent Bacardi I know there are tons of people just waiting in the shadows to badmouth Bacardi, but not this guy. This is not the best sipping rum but does wonders i

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Decent, smooth rum not too bad. Fairly smooth and flavorful that's slightly stronger than most of the other rums in its category

Captain Morgan Silver Spiced

Not bad for mojitos Not too much taste in this one but not too bad if you're planning on making mojitos for company and you like the Captain Morgan brand. This will do ju

Myers's Original Dark

not a bad dark pretty smooth, decent mid shelf dark rum. Perfect for Mai Tai's or with cola

Black Magic Black Spiced

Decent sipping spiced I actually preferred this one neat rather than mixed. As soon as you crack this one open you detect a moderate maple aroma and hints of vanilla greet

Mount Gay Eclipse

pretty smooth, decent rum a step above captain Morgan. Not a superior or top shelf rum, but very smooth and a pretty decent mixer, also not bad to drink on its own.

Kirkland Spiced

Middle of the road Very strong on the vanilla but at 92 proof it's not bad to have in your cabinet for nights with the kind of company that you want to get a little rowd

burns like hell burns on the way down and the way back up but still somehow smoother than Bacardi 151

Captain Morgan Tatoo

Captain with a bit more sugar it does look a lot like tattoo ink, so the name is fitting. My review is pretty much the same as the others. It has a slight cherry or cola taste and

Kraken Black Spiced

The name suits it not too bad, in the same ballpark as Captain Morgan and other mid shelf spiced rums. It has a bit more vanilla taste than captain. I get the name, bec

Admiral Nelson's Premium Spiced

Right in the middle Honestly, not the worst rum around. Easy to drink, hard to taste, one step below Captain, hence the name. If you have a whole bunch of people and they

Adding flavor to "superior" A step above, literally just a step, above "superior" by adding a bit of "lemon flavor". I remember drinking a whole bottle of this when Miami lost to

Adding another flavor to "superior" Pretty much the same as "limon" but with "orange flavor" Not the worst if you can't find an actual orange, but still lower level mixing rum.

Captain Morgan Spiced

A decent mass produced rum a decent rum (and I'm being lenient with that term) for a night when you plan to drink a lot but don't have much money but still want a little bit of

Bacardi Superior

Maaaaaaassss produced Bacardi is not a bad company. They grew from a bat infested shack where they distilled their first rum (hence the logo) to a major corporation with th

4 only because I like fires If you like starting fires or making your throat feel that way then buy this rum, if not then please for the love of all things holy buy something els

Not the best mid shelf I don't know what else to say about this rum that hasn't already been said. A mixing rum? Maybe, but certainly not a good one.

Ronrico Silver Label

not the apocalypse, but close pretty bad, for shame!... it comes in plastic. That's all you need to know

Parrot Bay Coconut

Really a coconut flavored liquor If you're expecting a rum that's 40 proof and comes in a plastic container to be good, you're a moron. This is really for amateur drinkers or as a "in

Well, plain and simple I know it's been stated, but from a bartenders point of view it makes a great, cheap, speed rail companion but nothing more. If you're getting a cheap
