Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Funky goodness I got a big whiff of alcohol as soon as I opened the bottle. Strong flavors of overripe fruit and caramel. When mixed with cola the rum is the domina

Kirk and Sweeney 23-year

Damn good Just as flavorful as the 12 year but not as sweet. Good sipper for a reasonable price.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Good Stuff Nice all around rum. Sipper, cocktail, or cola. It works in all. Slightly sweet with vanilla and cask notes. Just a hint of afterburn but not enough

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Underpriced I bought a bottle for $28 and would be willing to spend more after tasting this. Caramel, vanilla, and oak flavors with no burn. Good looking bottle a

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Great especially with a cigar Smooth rum with notes of caramel, vanilla, and smoke. Pairs nicely with a good cigar.

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Top Shelf but Inexpensive Great flavor at an affordable price. This proves that rum doesn't have to cost a lot to be enjoyable. Snobs won't agree but who cares!

Siesta Key Spiced

Damn fine rum Great spiced rum with notes of butterscotch, caramel, and cinnamon.

Kraken Black Spiced

One of my favs. I love drinking this with Coca-cola. Great color and flavor.

Vizcaya Black Reserva

Smooth and tasty Sweet and smooth. Vanilla and toasted marshmallow flavor with hardly any burn.

Equiano Original 8-year

Dry and tasty Dry rum with complex flavors of molasses, clove, and oak.

Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12-year

Smooth Vanilla, oak, and subtle banana notes. Very smooth and very good.

Smooth sipper Not very complex but very smooth. No harsh burn or sweetness from added sugar.

Yee-Haw Don't let the cheap looking bottle fool you this is a good rum. The hint of smokey flavor makes this stand out.

Kirk and Sweeney 18-year

Damn good rum I really love Kirk and Sweeney 12 year and this is just as good. Vanilla, caramel, and oak flavors with a very slight burn. I can't wait to try the 2

Kilo Kai Spiced

Damn good Sweet and flavorful. Had some with a cola and I'm ready for more.

Baron Samedi Spiced

Good stuff Nice flavors of vanilla and cinnamon. Works well as a mixer but not as a sipper.

Drunken Sailor Spiced

Delicious Strong caramel and vanilla aroma and flavor. This is good stuff, mixed or neat.

Largo Bay Spiced

Good tasting rum This is a good rum that deserves more attention. Buttery, caramel flavor.

Different but good Smooth and sweet. Different spices than what I've had in spiced rums before but very enjoyable. Good in cola or straight up.

Mount Gay Black Barrel

Bourbon like flavor Strong bourbon-like flavor. Good for sipping or in cola.

Captain Morgan 1671

Better than regular Captain Good rum with some decent vanilla flavor. Too bad this has been discontinued.

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Good value Slightly sweet vanilla flavor with a light alcohol burn. Great value for the price.

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-year

Sweet and smooth Sweet flavors of caramel and vanilla with a little smokiness. Good sipper for a reasonable price.

Plantation Original Dark Double Aged

Rich flavor Rich flavors of oak and caramel with little burn. A solid offering from Plantation

Cruzan Black Strap

Enjoyable Just like the Kraken but better. Sweet but very tasty in a mixed drink.

Fraternal twin Slightly better than the clear but very similar. Slight burn with caramel and grassy notes.

Appleton Estate Reserve 8-year

Good but not special Decent all around rum. Better than their Signature rum but nothing special.

Real McCoy Single Blended 5-year

Inexpensive and good A good, inexpensive($27 for750mL) aged rum. Sweet caramel and oak flavors with just a little heat.

Affordable Respectable rum for the price. A decent mixer but a touch harsh to have neat in my opinion.

Cruzan Single Barrel

Oaky Oak flavor is very noticeable. Smooth with a touch of sweetness. Good sipper.

Dictador Solera Ultra Premium Reserve 12-year

Different but good Coffee and caramel aromas. Not to sweet coffee-like flavor. Not what I'm normally used to but good nonetheless.

El Dorado 12-year

Good stuff Good sipper but also good with cola. Slight alcohol burn with flavors of caramel, spice, and citrus.

Sweet Good banana and caramel flavor but super sweet. Good with cola.

RumHaven Coconut

Mixer Good coconut flavor that isn't sweet. Goes good in a pina colada or with fruit juice.

RL Seale ABV 43 10-year

Nice rum Nice flavors of caramel and oak. It has a little alcohol burn but not harsh. A good change of pace from the spiced rums that I usually drink.

Black Magic Black Spiced

Very Sweet While not as good as Kraken or Captain Morgan (imo), it will do in a pinch. Very sweet caramel flavor.

Different but good Sweet and creamy with a cinnamon flavor. This would be good in coffee or some mixed drinks but I wouldn't really call it rum.

Black Coral Spiced

Decent A decent spiced rum with a good molasses flavor. It would go good with a cola or a cocktail but I don't think I would enjoy it neat.

Siesta Key Toasted Coconut

Good tropical mixer This would be good in a tropical cocktail (like a pina colada) or with a fruit juice.

Captain Morgan Jack O Blast Pumpkin Spiced

Mixer Tastes great in cola by a fire on a cool fall evening.

Whaler's Killer Coconut

Decent Good for a Pina coladas or other foo-foo drinks but would probably make you sick if drinking it straight.

Captain Morgan Spiced

First time This was the first rum that I ever tried. I still enjoy it on occasion.

Pretty good but not the best Nice vanilla flavor with almost no alcohol burn. Great for sipping or with cola.

Solid spiced rum A good sweet spiced rum. Just a touch of alcohol burn but not to bad.

Doorly's XO 6-year

Mixer Good in a mixed drink but not to my taste as a sipper. Good rum for the price.

Flor de Caña 18-year

It'll do Simple flavors of butterscotch and oak. I've tried worse.

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Good sipper Smooth and sweet. Just add ice and you have an enjoyable drink.

Decent clear rum I'm not a fan of clear rum but this is one of the better ones that I've tried. Minimal burn with a sweet, grassy flavor.

Lyon Coffee Rum Liqueur

Just add cream and sugar Just kidding. This has a good coffee flavor and is good with .. well, coffee.

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-year

Funky in a good way Fruity funk flavor. While not my cup of tea for a sipper it makes a damn good mixer.

Sammys Beach Bar Kola Nut

Made for cola Goes great in a cuba libre. Cola flavor with a hint of vanilla and coffee.

Plantation Isle Fiji

Pretty good Slightly sweet flavors of caramel and figs. Decent sipper or mixer.

Zaya Grande Reserva 16-year

Diplomatico Mantuano

Affordable and good Not very complex but a nice rum. Not as good as the as the exclusiva but close.

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Dry and funky Dry rum with no hint of sweetness. Typical jamaican funkiness with notes of banana, raisin, and a hint of oak.

Hamilton Beachbum Berry's Zombie Blend

Made for cocktails Definitely a mixer. Great in a mai-tai or bahama mama.

Breckenridge Spiced

Decent but different Decent rum but has a heavier body than I'm used to in a rum. Coffee and molasses flavor. Just a tad harsh for a sipper unless it was chilled IMO.

Lyon Sailors Reserve 1-year

Not a sipper A very decent mixer but has way too much burn to be a sipper.

Blackheart Premium Spiced

Affordable Tastes good in a cola and very affordable. I don't understand why people give crap ratings just because the rum doesn't cost at least 3 figures.

Myers's Original Dark

Basic Rich flavor but not very complex. Great for mixingbut not a sipper.

Cruzan Clipper 120

Blast from the past My mother-in-law brought this bottle back from a cruise that she took in the late 80s. When she got back she placed it in her liquor cabinet and forgo

Big Five Coconut

Mixer I tried this at a tasting at Total Wine. This would be good in a cocktail or pina colada.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Good but not great Vanilla, caramel, and spice flavors. A bit overpriced considering that it's not truly an aged rum. I would have rather spent my money on something e

Barracuda Cay Dark 12-year

Could use a little work Light aroma of finger nail polish. Slight sweetness with caramel and vanilla flavors with some burn. Works in a cola or cocktail but a bit harsh to d

Captain Morgan Black Spiced

Good mixer but not the best A tad sweeter with more pronounced vanilla notes than the original captain but it has a harsh alcohol bite. Good for mixing but probably not "neat".

Jonah's Curse Black Spiced

Sweet with a bite Sweet caramel and vanilla flavor but has a bit of a alcohol bite.

Siesta Key Beer Barrel Finish Spiced

Good but strong This rum is different every year. The one I tried in 2016 was aged in barrels that previously housed a dubbel style beer. It had a chocolate like flav

Pyrat XO Reserve

Decent This is a good sipping rum. Vanilla flavor with a hint of orange.

Mixer Good coconut flavor. I use it for Pina coladas and other mixed fruity drinks.

Gosling's Black Seal

Good but not the best Good in a cocktail or with a cola but I've had better. I've also had a lot worse.

Wicked Dolphin Florida Spiced

Good but not great Distinct orange aroma and flavor. Good for a mixer but I don't enjoy it neat.

Kahlúa Rum and Coffee Liqueur

Not rum This is a liqueur not a true rum. That being said I occasionally enjoy adding it to my coffee to give it a little kick.

Blackheart Toasted Coconut Spiced

Tiki time Good tosted coconut flavor that would work in most fruity cocktails.

Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rare Gold 8-year

It's not terrible It's not terrible but it's definitely not a sipper. Decent, affordable mixer.

Stolen Overproof

Strong stuff Definitely not a sipper! Very strong with a big alcohol bite.

Cool bottle Cool bottle, mediocre rum. Harsh burn with little flavor and no complexity.

Bacardi Oakheart

A Tad Harsh I can't stand Bacardi but this is tolerable. Decent with cola but has a harsh alcohol burn if had "neat".

Appleton Estate Signature

Meh This is definitely a mixer. Way too harsh for a sipper.

Bones Dark aged

So-so Smells like alcohol and nothing else. Decent vanilla and caramel flavor but I've had better. Definitely a mixer.

Havana Club 3-year

Mixer This might be okay in a mixed drink but I wouldn't drink it neat. There are better rums out there.

Hammock Bay Spiced

Cheap but alright Alright mixed with cola, but this is not a premium rum.

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Ok but not great Harsh alcohol burn with some vanilla flavor. Ok mixed with cola but I wouldn't have it straight.

Mixer Not much flavor. Good with cola but not much else.

Orange Definitely for use in cocktails. Big orange flavor.

Harsh Harsh alcohol burn if sipped neat, slightly more tolerable if mixed.

StilL 630 Expedition

Harsh Definitely not a sipper. Harsh alcohol burn with very little flavor. The label on the bottle says it's an award winner but I can't see why.

Lyon Rock & Rum

Medicine??? Tastes like the cherry cough syrup my mother used to make me swallow.

Kingston Spiced

Bottom Shelf Not very good. Better than Bacardi but not by much.

La Cana Grande Gold

No aroma or flavor This rum has absolutely no aroma. The only flavor is juat some sweetness with an alcohol burn.

Admiral Nelson's Black Patch

Yukk!!! Smells and tastes like nail polish. I glad that I only spent $1 on a 50 mL bottle.

Bacardi Carta Blanca

Rubbing alcohol This is terrible. Tastes like rubbing alcohol even when mixed.

Ronrico Silver Label

Nasty This stuff is horrible. It makes Bacardi look good which isn't saying much.
