Hampden Estate 2016 The Younger LROK 5-year

Amazing I absolutely love this rum. So many flavors. So many scents. Super funky, higher ester. Very fruity.

Appleton Estate 1999 Hearts Collection Velier 21-year

Excellent I was told if you see it, try it. And I would highly advise that anyone else. Just the right amount funk, not overpowering. Slight heat - barrel taste

Foursquare 2009 12-year

If you know, you know By now, if you’ve tried this it’s safe to say you’re familiar with rum and this bottles reputation (in most cases), and it lives up to the hype. Try i

Velier 2000 Caroni

Very Exciting! Had the opportunity to try this, and was not disappointed! Tire fire, burnt rubber. Gasoline. Shockingly smooth. So unique.

So good! Traditional pot still. Full of flavor. Dryer. Light mouth feel. Fuel scent, so good. High Ester hints. Lighter fruit aromas. Such a unique rum. Suppor

Foursquare 2010 Indelible 11-year

Dee-lish-us Favorite Foursquare I’ve had so far. Minor heat / subtle barrel flavor. Can really taste everything that went into this one. Try it if possible.

Rivers Royal Granadian White 69

Effin Great Now this is a yummy Agricole. Not over priced. Great funk to it without taking away anything from the earthy flavors.

Papas Pilar Legacy Edition 2021 Dark Rye Finish

Buy if you can find Fan of the Papas line. Not an expert reviewer but coming from bourbon I thoroughly enjoyed this. Anyone who might be in a similar situation, give this

Rum Fire White Overproof

Go To Wasn’t the easiest to track down. Said to not be a sipper, but I found it to be enjoyable. Where it excels is mixing. Has a good funk. A little heat -

Hampden Estate Pure Single Jamaican Overproof

Delicious Nice and funky. Great price. Love the aromas. First smooth and then a little hot. If you can find it, I’d recommend it

Best White A mix of Foursquare and Hampden this is probably the best lightly aged white rum you can snag and only $30. Don’t sleep on it. This is the go-to. Daiq

Appleton Estate 21-year

Premium Rum Another reviewer summed this up very well, comparing this to Walker Blue. Age, distinction, quality, consistency. Honestly it just felt good to drink!

Privateer Distiller’s Drawer #108 New England Lot No 1 2-year

Distillers Drawer to My Cabinet I thought this rum was delicious! US based Privateer - Maggie Campbell selected. If you can find it I’d suggest buying it because Maggie no longer wor

Appleton Estate Joy 25-year

Great opportunity An excellent pick. Does not fall flat. Simply put, if you have an opportunity to try, take it. You will not be disappointed

Barrell Tale of Two Islands

Islay Finish First off, this bottle may now be a little hard to source but if you come across I suggest buying it. 8 yr Hampden rum finished in Islay SM. Banana, f

Gosling's Family Reserve Old

As Expected This was exactly what I wanted out of this bottle. Rich and oily, warming! Sweet and oaky scent. Molasses and orange taste. Dry finish. Great presenta

Appleton Estate Reserve 8-year

Great Value Love the profile, I’d say more flavorful than the 12. Easy to drink straight. Good to mix. All around great rum. Still get a little hidden Hogo. Orang

Foursquare 2007 Sovereignty 14-year

Another solid foursquare Sherry is very minor. Lots of char and pepper. Didn’t wow me compared to other releases. If you’re a bourbon this will resonate with you.

Denizen Merchants Reserve 8-year

More than Mai Tai Yes yes, Martin Cate helped recreate a rum that has long been depleted to use in a Mai Tai, but this is so much more. What an odd marriage between a J

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Jamaican mixer Jamaican on a budget. Great for that mild funk / intro to ester. Subtle Fermented fruit. Don’t want to mix your $70 Hampden - perfect, Smith and Cross

Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve 6-10 Years

Holy Pot Still Great definition for a Jamaican Pot Still rum. Subtle funk, but enough for an intro. Still smooth for sipping. Minor heat. Sweet fermented fruit nose.

Papas Pilar Spanish Sherry Cask Finished 24-year

Very Enjoyable I’m a big fan Pilar. I think they make great blends and are very palatable. Sherry was not overpowering, more of a hint which is great because you don

Papas Pilar Marquesas Blend

Yummy blend This is one of those rums where if someone asks you, what should I try to get into rum, this. Brown sugar notes. Aromatic. Can drink straight easily.

Transcontinental Rum Line 2011 Panama

Easy to drink TCRL does a good job of making a rum that is easy to drink straight. From my understanding their rums are blends, so keep that in mind. Most of the ag

Neisson Blanc 50

Textbook Agricole by the book. Grassy. New go to. Great proof. Enjoy this is in cocktails too.

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Surprising Recommended by a distributor- hesitant at first, don’t like flavor. But this is subtle and flavored in all the right ways. Enjoy sipping as well

Cayman Reef White

Try it Not a huge fan of white rum but this was recommended to me. Excellent for mojitos. But still good enough to drink straight. No harsh burn. Good flavor

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Good intro to rum Easy transition if you’re just getting into rum. Switched me on and I’ve since branched out, but it’s still a nice sipper. Great price point. Enjoyabl

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Solid Excellent choice from Plantation. Big supporter of their rums. Never been disappointed. Smells good. Tastes good. Great price - value

Siesta Key Toasted Coconut

Coconut winner If you’re looking for a coconut flavored rum, this is it. Top of the charts

Chairman's Reserve Legacy 5-8 Years

St Lucia Rum Great scent. Goes down like bourbon for comparison- but only in a good sense. I thought this was a great rum.

Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12-year

Great for sipping IMO Appleton makes some solid rums. The 12 is great for sipping. Not too hot, good amount of sweet without tasting like syrup at all. Great scent.

Clement Blanc 40

Tí Punch I thought this made an excellent Tí Punch. Straight, not bad at all. But it really thrives in the punch. And for the price point I don’t think you can

Plantation Fiji Island Linie Aquavit 9-year

A rich surprise I have to agree with the first reviewer here. It’s surprisingly funky, but not over powering. A little bitter. I wasn’t expecting much but I’ve really

Hampden Estate Great House Distillery 2020 Edition

Great but something is missing This is very very good but after having the LROK and Overproof this Great House kind of gets lost. A smidge overpriced for what you get, IMO. Still lo

Hamilton Guyana 151

Great Overproof This has to be one of the best overproofs on the market. Fair price. Hamilton has a solid reputation for quality. It’ll definitely add that missing in

Hamilton Florida Society

Great Blend - FRS Proud What an awesome, affordable blend. Rivals rums double the price of similar quality. Taste develops and changes well. Also, Ed Hamilton is a bad*ss so

Providence 2019 First Drops

Red Top This was very cool to find. If you want to get someone into Agricole this is a great subtle intro. It was like half traditional Agricole Rhum, half ag

Give Clairin a try Clairin is a unique type of rum. Vaval has a fruity nose, salty citrus taste, and a woody finish (not char). Try this stuff, not really for mixing tho

Doorly's 8-year

Underrated What a value. $20 and a premium flavor. Foursquare distilled. 8 years in the same climate. Still a hint a of sherry.

Papalin Jamaica 7-year

Holy Pot Still What a great blend! Nice and funky but not over the top. Acidic. Peppery. WP and Hampden - Great Jamaican identity.

Mount Gay XO Triple Cask

Mmm-mmm This stuff is effin yummy. Not too hard to find. Very palatable. Subtle sherry notes? Brown sugar too? But still dry. Drink her straight. You won’t be

Diplomatico 2005

Great but pricey Easy to drink straight. Overpriced. Dosed most likely. Similar notes to reserva with a stronger oak presence. Tad smokier. Still coffee, brown sugar,

El Dorado 12-year

Better than 15 Surprised to find this better than the 15. Suspiciously smooth, but I didn’t look into that - like what you like. Fruit and honey. Minimal punch. Ligh

Grander Rye Whiskey Barrel Finished

Tis Grand Great intro rum for the whiskey drinker. Panama rum finish in I believe Woodford barrels. It is dry, but finishing in a rye will give it just enough h

Siesta Key Coffee

Real coffee I’m not a big flavored rum fan, but rated in the category of flavored (not comparing to all styles of rum). It’s made with real coffee, not syrups. It

Habitation Velier 2009 Worthy Park WPL 11-year

Hot and rare Hogo - high ester. Hot stuff. Fermented fruit / gasoline. Oak and char. Acidic.

Samaroli Edition 2017 Jamaica Rhapsody

Sama-rollin in cash I don’t get why this costs so much? Fantastic nose, smell sells. Easy to sip. It’s a more thin rum, sort of light. Not funky. But still very good. No

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-year

What a value I will continue to buy this, and what an affordable drink. I find this okay to drink straight, honestly, sweeter than you’d expect. Tad spicy. Sugary

Rum-Bar White Overproof

Loud flavor This is a great value rum. I can’t say for certain better than Rum Fire but it’s still powerful. You’ll get funk if you’re looking for it. Honestly it

Siesta Key Spiced

True Spiced Rum In the world of spiced rum this is a solid choice. Plenty of flavors to find. Not overbearing with sugar or syrup feel.

Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star

Sweet Syrup This stuff is tasty. Very sweet. Molasses rum. Oak. Minimal burn.

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-year

Affordable Cane I don’t hate this rum. I think for an agricole priced under $30 it’s a decent value. I’ve come to enjoy it most neat.

Papas Pilar Dark 24-year

Good blend For a blend it’s pretty good. Price is fair. Can definitely taste oak. Smooth. Subtle spice.

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Great Value, Good Rum You could drink this straight, mild fruit, low burn. But this really shines when mixed. Price is very fair. I cut this into Mai Tais with another aged

Whiskey Sub This rum is an excellent whiskey substitute. Price is fair. A little harsh to sip. In an old fashion though - very good

El Dorado 15 (Onwards 2020) 15-year

Worth a try Decent sipper. Not very sweet. Not overly powerful in any category. Just solid.

Zaya Grande Reserva 16-year

Decent - overpriced I thought this was decent. Definitely overpriced for what you get. But it really wasn’t THAT bad. Smelled good and sweet. Bit of a burn.

Ten to One Caribbean Dark

Aromatic blend This is a good blend. Love the scent. Banana. Dry. Quick finish. No lingering burn.

Worthy Park 109

Excellent Dark This is a great dark rum. Especially if you’re making drinks, this is a must. Does have a slight burn but that’s not a bad thing. Definitely adds to t

Plantation Isle Fiji

Great for the Price Keeping in mind the price point here, for what you get this is great. Possible to drink straight and that’s says quite a bit for the cost. Pick up a b

Hampden Estate 8-year

Better options from Hampden I found this one from Hampden to be a little harsh… very spicy. If it the only Hampden available to you, still try it! It is very funky, and a great p

Grander Single Barrel 8-year

Good Panama Rum FRS Barrel Pick. Ex-Bo cask. Vanilla. Caramel perhaps. Banana. Mid-Alc punch. Pretty darn good!

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Great Value, Good Rum You could drink this straight, mild fruit, low burn. But this really shines when mixed. Price is very fair. I cut this into Mai Tais with another aged

RL Seale ABV 43 10-year

Easy drinker Old flask shaped bottle is cool. Can’t see the darn level though! Rum is sweet, low punch. Nice woody, Spicy aroma. Tastes like pastries and orange. A

Ron Zacapa Edicion Negra

Smokey Citrus Vanilla All other Zacapa nonsense aside this is fairly enjoyable. Hint of smoke, noticeable if anything. Some orange. Heavy vanilla. Oily caramel mouthfeel. B

Good-dry Caramel and oaky. This rum is not sweet, rather dry. I think it’d make for a good old fashion. Or just sip neat.

Dictador Solera Distillery Icon Reserve 20-year

Decent Rum Strong coffee notes. Short finish. Very smooth. Sweet. Reminds me of Diplomatico. Cool bottle. Feels like it’s dosed, but I didn’t dig much into it. T

Flor de Caña Extra Seco 4-year

Mixing rum This is a mixing rum, and holy crap let me tell you, it shines a daiquiri. But like a real one, not a blender drink.

Uruapan Charanda Blanco

Sweeeet Has a nose of Haitian/Agricole. Taste is grassy, molasses. Peppery but also very sweet on the aftertaste. Low punch.

Blue Chair Bay Coconut

Great Flavored Rum Rippin a shot? Rum and coke? Music festival? Frozen drinks? You’ve found your rum!

Habitation Velier 2020 Privateer

Not Too Shabby Being a fan of Privateers aged offerings I thought I’d like this more. Of all the unaged rums I’ve had and flavor profiles sampled this one falls shor

Bounty Premium Gold 2-year

Underdog Very affordable. A true underdog. It’s not gonna blow your skirt up but once you taste it and see how little you paid you’ll be impressed. Excellent v

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Syrup Overall if you’re a beginner in the rum world or just someone who enjoys sweet sippers this would be fine. Very easy to drink. A little too sugary for

Decent It’s okay. Probably not going to purchase twice. Good smell, okay taste. Feed it to your guests

Gosling's Black Seal

Dark N Stormy Black Seal pretty much has stapled itself as the rum for the drink Dark N Stormy. Alone - meh. In that drink - great.

Sailor Jerry Spiced

If you’re gonna mix Great for mixing. If you’re in a pinch. At a bar with limited selection. I’d suggest it over Captain Spiced

Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Tradition It’s a staple. I wouldn’t sip it, but if you mix it - it’ll get the job done.

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-year

Good value Good value rum. Something is break out for the guests if they wanted something other than captain. Can mix or sip

Coconut Cartel Special

Coconut forward No hiding the coconut flavor here. Personally too forward on the coconut to drink straight, but you could if that’s your preference. Still smooth. Goo

Good and affordable They make a decently consistent product. Good for mixing, not the best, but still good. Minimal burn. Pretty smooth for what you’d expect actually!

Sweet but better option than spiced It’s says dark rum, but kind of tastes like a sweet spiced rum. Good for mixing. Not a sipper for my palate but if your into darker / sweeter rums thi

Small Distillery By-product rum. Pretty sure the distillery is focusing on bourbon / whiskey but a spiced rum is a little quicker to make. They call it Dark, but it’s

Panama-Pacific 23-year

Vanilla / Oak Bomb If this is a true 23 year old rum it has certainly lost most of its flavor. Hint of vanilla. But charred oak is extremely pronounced. These may have b

Siesta Key White

Clean unaged rum Column /pot blend. Florida molasses. It’s a clean rum. No medicinal/metal taste. Very good for mixing. Don’t expect a whole lot of character.

Appleton Estate V/X

Appleton Mixer Possible to drink straight, yes. But really stands out if your mixing and need a rum presence in the drink. Throw it in a Mai tai.

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Cool bottle Good marketing sells. Neat bottle. Looks fancy. Didn’t taste like good rum. Kirk nor Sweeney are releasing quality aged rum.

Liqueur More of a liqueur than a rum. If you like sweet than this could be enjoyable. High vanilla. Depends on what you’re looking for, and if you like sweet,

Rhum JM VO 3-year

Fell Flat I was excited to try this based on the scent. Initial taste was nice but then it kind of fell flat. Aftertaste lingers and is somewhat intense. Perhap

Havana Club Anejo Blanco (PR)

Decent for mixing First experience with Havana Club. Was told if you’re making Mojitos you should go Havana Club. It was decent. Definitely better stuff out there. But

Myers's Original Dark

Decent for mixing If you’re going to be making some dark rum drinks buy it. Not sipping alone.

Barbancourt 3 Star 4-year

Okay Came recommended - not thrilled. Very strong alcohol taste. Not super smooth.

El Dorado 5-year

Mehhhh is what it is Pretty clear this isn’t a sipping rum. I believe if you need something darker for mixing this is a decent choice. Older EDs are good for sipping, but

Kraken Black Spiced

Black Rum I remember when this came out and their whole gimmick was that it’s black rum. Marketing. Bottle. Decent if your making a drink that calls for black r

Mali-Boom-Boom The year is 1995 - You just watched Cocktail for the first time. A Bay Breeze sounds surprisingly delicious. You spring for the pseudo-Caribbean rum n

PM Spirits The Street Pumas

Cool label / cool name Honestly tried it because it has a cool name. Was not impressed, not memorable - unlike the label which was pretty sweet. Lacking in flavor.

Bacardi Superior

So you’re underage Underage? Have a friend who will buy you booze? Give them $30 and they return with a $10 bottle? Here it is. The vodka of rums.

College Good at a bar mixed with coke. Hard stomach alone.

Bacardi Oakheart

Is this even still available? Found some from college, if that says anything. This was so cool when it was released… but so was Kraken. Generic spiced rum.

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

Captain and Coke No one is gonna read this review. Captain Morgan became popular in the 80s because they added sugar to rum. Fín.

Captain Morgan Cannon Blast

Fun Marketing Made for shots. The bottle is cheesy, but that’s marketing. Keep that in mind. More of a liqueur. Captain Morgan drank more sherry than rum so that’s
