Zafra Master Reserve 21

Zafra 21 Incredibly drinkable. Not usually fan of rums from bourbon casks, but this one is exception.

Beach House Spiced

Best spiced ever First rum to score higher than 8 for me. Definitelly cannot compare with aged rums, but in spiced section this is clearly a winner. Its name matches t

Blue Mauritius Gold

A. H. Riise Non Plus Ultra Very Rare

Best Riise experience Best Riise I have ever had, but I can't give it full score, because it isn't very good value for money. XO Reserve is very similar in taste but it is

Foursquare 2007 Sagacity 12-year

Sagacity Probably best Foursquare I have tasted so far. Cheers!

Beach House White Spiced

Beach House Spiced white Right now is Beach house if my favourite summer drink ever. Gold was supreme and White is also. Smell is like freshly cutted limes, taste is mix of ci

Rumbullion Spiced

Rumbullion Nice spice flavoured rum. Sweeter with mix of oranges and cinnamon. Great for winter evenings. 1 point of score deducted because of higher price.

Oliver's Exquisito 1990 Solera

Oliver's 1990 Classic aged rum. Honey, caramel, little bit of raisins. It is little more sweet than I usually like. Good rum, reasonable price.

Naud 15y Panama Sweeter aged rum, delicate smooth flavour. Honey and vanille on tongue.

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Cherry all over Very smooth and easy to drink. Cherry taste is simply perfect and although I am not a big fan of caramel, I aprreciate it here. If it would be a littl

Havana Club Selección de Maestros

Incredibly smooth Incredibly smooth, easy to drink. I had far lesser expectation from Havana brand, but this is the proof, that cuban rums rules the world.

Millonario Reserva Especial 15

Ron Very smooth and caramel / toffee taste. Color is darker than I expected. Wonderfull aroma will stay in room for long time.

Pyrat XO Reserve

Summer rum For those who enjoy fruity rums and doesn't like it too sweet, this is perfect choice. Can't decide what I love more - oranges in Pyrat or cherries in

Arcane Extraroma 12-year

Arcane Extraroma Taste of bananas, also other fruits present. Smell is why I love it, I would sniff that rum all day long.

Bumbu Reviewing rum was never so easy and straightforward. This is just purely combination of bananas and toffee. This goes for taste and also for smell. It

Malecon 15-year

Ron Malecon 15y Definitelly manly rum with warming taste. Little bit hard to swallow, but it will reward you with lust for more.

Depaz Grande Reserve XO White Label 12-year

Grand Reserve XO My personal best agricole so far. Very warm and spicy ( pepperish spicy ), maybe even cognac like, but also little sweet and woody.

Baoruco 21-year

Ron Baoruco 21 Very good, sweet in nose but not in mouth. Solid and dense but also very drinkable. Worth the money.

Gold of Mauritius Dark

Gold of Mauritius Mauritius, my favorite island for rums. You will never get burned when choosing rum from this island. GoM has very unique flavour. Dark rum, smooth, c

La Hechicera Extra Anejo

Best of Colombia Smooth, creamy, but also little woody and with the bit of cocoa. Definitely worth the money.

Enghaven 2018 Blackstrap

Blackstrapp Very interesting flavour which is similar to cough syrup but in some kind of good twisted way. This will not be for everyone but it is refreshing to t

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

K&S Unique bottle design, great quality/price. Wood, vanilla in taste, smoother, just a bit sweet but not too much.

Foursquare 2010 Detente 10-year

Detente Better than 2008 Single blend, but worse than Sagacity.

Foursquare 2008 12-year

2008 Single Blend From the trio of 2008, Detente and Sagacity this was my least favourite, but still very good and surprisingly smooth considering high voltage.

Dictador 20-year

Dictador 20 Very good rum. Warm, smooth, with chocolate and coffee tones. Problem is that I couldn't find difference between this and Dictador 12. If you are look

Bacardi Oakheart

Value for money This is the best spiced rum in this price level category I've ever tasted. Available almost anywhere, reasonable price and far better taste than other

Pampero Aniversario

Give it a time Taste begins with strong alcoholic flavour, but give it a time, third sip won't dissapoint you. Still not sure if it is worth the money thou.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Tasted, rated, respected Zacapa is "just" Zacapa. It is a very specific rum which you would recognize if I would wake you up in the middle of níght. For me in this case, word

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Spice overload This rum taste like anything but the rum. Taste might be surprising for anyone who expects another classic spice rum. Best served straight up in cold

Don Papa Small Batch

Great cherry flavour but too much of sugar Slightly reminds Dos Maderas 5+5, but still keeps unique flavour. I would rate it point higher if this wouldn't have so much sugar inside.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Good choice for rum rookies Diplomatico is becoming symbol of good rum. And it is not bad thing. You really get universal good rum you can drink in any ocassion with simplest tas

Dictador 12-year

Dictador 12 7/10 just feel right here. Unique coffee taste and general smoothness are reasons to come back for this one. Unfortunatelly I can't think of ocassion

Espero Caribbean Orange

Cheaper and sweeter version of Pyrat If you are in the mood for orange dessert. I think title says it all...

High voltage Bit disapointed with low scores over here. 151 has 75% of alcohol and you have to approach it that way. Of course the taste is strongly alcoholic, but

Worth the money I mean, with 20 dollars in your pocket you will have a hard time to buy anything better than this. Very smooth, with strong taste of vanilla and littl

Whisper Gold rum Very light and drinkable gold rum. If you are ok with the price, this might be good start for rum first-timers. I would recommend it for summer months

Cihuatan Reserva Especial 8-year

Cihuatan El Salvador 8y Toffee on nose, vanila and caramel on tongue. Smooth but warm at the same time. Price is ok, definitelly not a bad choice.

Novo Fogo Familia

Novo Fogo Familia Grappa on the nose, taste like fruit distillate ( plum? ). Very smooth and easy to drink.

Zacapa XO Generally I would rate 8+, but I am tkaing in consideration the price of this rum and it is just not worth it. Go for the classic 23y solera.

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Better alternative to Cpt. Morgan Title says it all. Also this one is ok to drink straight if you don't like to mix it with coke.

Legendario Elixir de Cuba 7-year

Sugar all over it Sugar, sugar, even more sugar and sugar. Better description would be liquer with rumish flavour.

Flor de Caña 12-year

average Definitelly not bad, but for me, this rum is lacking any specific taste which would make me buy it for the second time. You are not going to go wrong

Classic Classic Dominic rum for mixing drinks. Taste great with Coke.

Mount Gay Black Barrel

Rum with taste of whisky Black barrel element is surely strong and because of it this really reminds me of a moderate whisky. Someone might like it, but next time I will be in

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Oak flavours Personally prefer more fruity tones, but even in comparison with other oaky rums this will not blow your mind. 1 point extra for very fair price.

Ron Tabu I should probably give this rum better rating, because I really can't find much cons, but I am just not a fan of hard rums with whisky/bourbon taste.

Ron Cubay Fair price / quality ratio. Average everyday rum. Fair score 6/10.

Kakadu Elixir de Banana

Kakadu Not bad for liquer rum, but it is too much sweet and you can feel, that it is really pushing on banana flavour maybe more than it should.

Gosling's Black Seal

Gosling's Classic black rum. I am not a big fan of black rums as aroma is very strong for me. Probably good for mixing.

Doorly's 12-year

Not memorable Maybe it is too soon to review, but this was no special experience for me. Next week I won't even remeber that I had it.

Pirate's Grog Golden

Pirate's Grog Yet another average rum with similar set of spices to big commercial brands. Oak casks are doing their job pretty well as oak is the most significant

New Grove Old Tradition 8-year

New Grove 8y Very spicy and harsh on the tongue, wax on the nose. Definitelly not my kind of a rum.

Old Monk Gold Reserve

As good as it gets from India Average score, definitelly cannot compete with carribean rums, but considering origin of this one I cannot complain.

Arcane Delicatissime

Arcane Deli Very strange and difficult to judge. Liquorice taste is dominating, but I also tasted something which reminded me Advil medicine. Surprise, surprise,

Riviere du Mat Grande Reserve

Sadly very similar to Arcane Deli I will give it one more shot, but I really can't understand why someone would like the dominant taste of something which taste like Advil and smell li

Old Monk XXX Smell of typical czech 4 Euro rum leads to taste of typical romanian 6 Euro cognac and finishes with typical russian hangover for free.

Varadero Añejo 15-year

Varadero 15y The Looks - The bottle looks kind of ok, label is probably printed on some very old printer with few ink colors, cork is absolute disaster here - oozy

Deadhead Deadhead is completly missing any flavour, leaving you with taste and smell of ordinary alcohol. Good thing is, that it is still surprisingly drinkabl

Riviere du Mat XO

Riviere XO Very similar to Grand Reserve. It is probably good rum, but I am not really fan of rums with the taste of brandy.

Diplomatico Mantuano

Diplomatico Mantuano You may be temted by low price, but content is worth much less. I assume this is way to make higher margins. Low quality rum parasiting on a good name

Flying Dutchman Premium Dark

Flying Dutchman No 3 Smells like anise, tastes like pills. Reminds me a scotish whiskey. Not what I am looking for in rum.

Domaine de Severin VO 3-year

Domaine VO Agricole rhum with really spicy finish, harsh to swallow, wine/grappa on the nose.

Centenario 9-year

not a fan Personally very surprised how different Centenario grades are. 12 is exceptionaly good, 7 is ok, 9 is just worst. It has been a while since I tasted t

Santa Teresa 1796

Very bad surprise I want to believe that for some reason there is something wrong with my bottle, because I can't find any good word which would describe this rum. Ther

Captain Morgan Black Spiced

I'll stick to Private Stock Simply not my kind of rum. Taste reminds more of liquer than rum.

Havana Club Blanco

Havana Blanco Probably best white rum I tasted, but...you know...it is still white rum, so not good.

Bozkov Republica Exclusive

Just another Božkov I was very pleased when Božkov announced their first real rum ( = from sugar cane ). Nice looking bottle and reasonable price suggested, that this rum

Magec Oloroso Anejo XO

Magec XO Very nice smell of lemon and flowers. Very harsh to drink, burns, leaves you with weird aftertaste.

Malteco 10-year

not for me Vanilla taste is present, but for some reason it feels very artifical. What bothers me more is his very aggresive alcohol taste, which is killing all

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Thank you, but never again Horrible smell, bad taste, really rough on tongue, also in neck. No specific flavours, no reason to drink.

Parrot Bay Coconut

Parrot Bay Bought this while travelling States with my friends, because it was cheap and sweet. Let's never do that again.
