Mount Gay XO Triple Cask

I've found my happy place My Rum Journey began with Tiki. I bought the necessary rums to make the drinks that I enjoyed. I used Martin Cate's categorization system to make sure

Tenacious Best of both worlds, truly a masterpiece. Hampden and Foursquare come together with fireworks! My two favorite distilleries in one bottle? I'll be buy

Real McCoy White Single Blended 3-year

Lovely White Hard to beat. Similar profile to Plantation 3 Stars but without the funk and the extra sweetness. This is truly a bar-staple! Shines in a Daiquiri, Mi

Real McCoy Single Blended 12-year

A step behind other FS offerings Tasted neat, in a Glencairn glass, alongside R.L. Seale's 12yr and ECS Detente. This one came out on the bottom. Not as punchy and flavorful as the ot

RL Seale 12-year

Good stuff from Richard Not as mindblowingly, earthshatteringly perfect as the ECS releases, but the price is right. Prefer this over McCoy 12 year.

Foursquare 2010 Detente 10-year

Brilliant Nose: Punchy, acidic, fruity, slightly sweet, some vanilla Mouth: Flavor explosion! Ripe cherries, green grapes, oak. Not oily, but full bodied and

Foursquare 2009 12-year

Rum perfection? Have not tried the 2008 but this one beat out the Detente and Empery in a side-by-side test

Foursquare 2004 Empery 14-year

Fireworks in my mouth I have no words to describe the delight my tastebuds have just experienced.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Sweet Nice flavors, easy to drink, but they added too much sugar.

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Not much better for the money For around $30 USD where I live, this is a killer deal. I keep a bottle on my bar at all times, with a backup down below. Yes, I use it primarily for

Cockspur V.S.O.R.

A Welcome Surprise I bought this bottle on a whim after enjoying the Cockspur Fine strictly as a mixing rum. Well, I found one of my new favorite low-cost Bajan sippers!

Cockspur 5 Star Fine

Value, value, value Probably a 4 based off tasting notes alone, however factor in the price ($13.50 USD in my locale) and you’ve got yourself a winner! What else is ther

Stolen Overproof

Fantastic for the price Lovely, similar to Smith & Cross but deeper and more industrial. A bit of tar and oil flavor.

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

A must have for any tiki connoisseur I’m currently going through a bottle of this a week at my home bar, serving myself and 2-3 others regularly. I truly feel that there is no better expr

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Blended Lightly Aged Used as a mixing rum under Martin Cate's category of "blended lightly aged". Good for that but not a sipper.

Rum Fire White Overproof

It really is Definitely lives up to the name. Pretty much the funkiest stuff you can get your hands on where I live. You can smell this stuff from the next room!

Hampden Estate 8-year

Perfect example of Jamaican pot still Honestly, I would rate this a 9 or 10 if the price was more reasonable. Where I live, this bottle is almost $70 USD and I feel like there are other ru

Hampden Estate Pure Single Jamaican Overproof

I can't wait I ordered this but it has not arrived yet. I absolutely cannot wait to try it.

Hampden Estate 2010 LROK 11-year

Trelawny in My Mind Nose is floral, delicate, fruity (raspberries and apricots) with licorice hiding in the back. The palate begins like most Hampden rums with a sharp

Appleton Estate Reserve 8-year

Bar Staple I don't really ever drink this neat, but it certainly isn't offensive that way. I keep 2 bottles on hand for my home Tiki bar because it's priced reas

Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12-year

One of my favorites, a true classic. I don’t have much to say about this rum, other than you must try it to understand it. It presents all the wonderful characteristics that I love abou

Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black

Woah this is different My first experience with Worthy Park. I was expecting a less-proofy version of S+C but could not have been more wrong. This is all dark dried fruits a

Denizen Merchants Reserve 8-year

Essential I recently learned that this rum was produced in collaboration with Martin Cate and is the house Mai Tai rum at Smugglers Cove. Being a total fanboy,

Rhum JM XO 6-year

Good but not great On the nose I’m getting something like prickly pear mixed in with a lot of oak and acidity. Palate is very light and tangy, citrus forward and oak tan

Rhum JM Blanc 50

Good Juice Fresh cane aroma, accompanied by the typical grassiness. Hides the proof well. On the palate we get some bitterness (almost sour) followed by cane jui

Clement Select Barrel

Quite Nice I like this offering because the young age really lets the cane juice flavor come to the forefront. It's also quite spicy and bourbon-y as other revie

Clement VSOP 4-year

Surprised My 2nd Rhum Agricole after J.M. Blanc. I was expecting a lot more funky, grassy freshness but that time in a barrel really mellow this rhum out. I enj

Saint James 2015 Cellar Reserve Single Batch 5-year

Ok I was typing my review on the app but it got deleted. Nice rum, bourbon barrel influence is strong but still an Agricole at heart. I like the high-ish

Barbancourt Estate Reserve 15-year

Tasty but boring I'm having trouble finding much complexity in this one, and was honestly hoping for more from it. It's all wood.

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-year

Memory Going from memory here, but I remember this being a decent rum for the price. Definitely nothing to write home about.

Barbancourt White

Rum French style done decently. I guess the price should be factored in because J.M. Blanc is about 3x the cost for me, but I would still use a real Agric

El Dorado 3-year

Boring No character, they must have filtered the hell out of it. At least there is a bit of age detectable. Good for mixing though.

El Dorado 8-year

Great for mixing, good for sipping Reach for this whenever a recipe calls for an aged Demerara. The lack of added sugar is a big plus here, and makes it easier to work with at the bar.

El Dorado (2020 Onwards) 12-year

Woah. Without so much sugar, this new version really lets the production shine through. We get more fruit and smoke, plus that lovely dry oaky finish. Gla

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

New 2020 Version No longer is this beautiful rum caged and muffled by unreasonable amounts of added sugar! It can finally sing its glorious song of tropical fruits, bi

Hamilton 86 Demerara

Brilliant Nose: Frosted flakes, wet wood, tangy fruits, and a hint of pot still funk Palate: Creamy mouthfeel, a bit smoky (not like peat smoke in a scotch,

Rum? Neutral, light, boring, but not unpleasant. They made a really good sugarcane vodka.

Column rum done well Don Q doesn’t get enough credit. The quality and value are simply unmatched when you consider the alternatives.

Don Q 2005 Limited Edition

Character! I love how prominent the oak influence is in this rum! Spicy, fresh, dry, all in a good way. Also really smooth. The only reason I can't rate this hig

Ron Del Barrilito 2 Star

Mixer Perfectly good for mixing. Definitely better than Bacardi or Don Q gold but then again it is twice the price.

Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star

Unremarkable yet still recommendable The definition of smooth. You hardly notice you're drinking a straight spirit. This is not super appealing to me but I'm sure many will rate it highl

Bacardi 1909 Superior Heritage Limited Edition

Interesting WAAAAAAY better than standard Bacardi Superior, but still not speaking to me.

Plantation 2004 Peru

Middle of the road Very well balanced, not too sweet and not too oaky. Almost so well balanced that it becomes boring? I like the flavors but I'm finding it hard to desc

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

The Carolina Reaper of Rums Sometimes when tasting a blended rum it’s hard to decipher what the blender was aiming for, but there is certainly no question here. Similar to Planta

Plantation Original Dark

Great for the price, performs as intended This was designed and blended to be a mixing rum. In that role, it performs admirably. Yummy pot still flavors rounded out by the blend, not too much

Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal

Lovely Mixing Rum For the price, I don't think there's anything better. Depends how much Probitas costs for you.

Flor de Caña Extra Seco 4-year

Boring Clean, dry, tastes like rum. There are better options out there even in this price range, unless you specifically want a column still white rum.

Flor de Caña 18-year

Surprisingly average Unremarkable. It’s certainly not bad, but if you like Flor De Cana just stick with the 12.

Centenario 9-year

Missing Something Rich, thick, definitely aged, but lacking complexity.

Centenario 20-year

Sweeeeeet If you like sweeter rums this is probably one of the best for the price. Have not tried the 25 or 30 but I don’t know if they would be worth the extra

Dictador XO Perpetual

Not worth the money Tasted alongside El Dorado 15 (new 2020 version) and Mount Gay XO Triple Cask. Nose is extremely sweet, all I’m getting is vanilla, caramel, and et

Panama-Pacific 9-year

Mystery Brand Rum Update: Test showed 0g sugar **(my hydrometer is not super accurate though)** Bumped rating up to 8 because of this, plus I found a store selling it

Zafra Master Reserve 21

Good but flawed I like everything about this rum… until the finish. I’m getting a strange rotten nut flavor, like oxidized vermouth? I can’t quiet place it, but witho

The Scarlet Ibis Gold

Buried Treasure Made for mixing, but this rum is fantastic on its own! A little peppery zing to accompany the dark, rich loveliness. At $22 usd it’s incredible.

Angostura 7-year

Standard A pretty decent column still rum. Not a whole lot of flavor, but quite smooth and drinkable. Good for mixing.

Angostura 5-year

Miiiiiiixer Nothing special at all. Standard column still blandness. Some cool oak character but nothing memorable. Too much alcohol burn and harshness to sip on.

Chairman's The Forgotten Cask 6-11 Years

Light, Versatile, Agreeable At first I wasn't getting much of anything but alcohol and oak from this one, but after letting it sit for a long time (like 40 minutes) i started to
