Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Very Special Occasion Sipper Bought this to share with a good friend. Smooth as silk in the mouth and during the swallow. No strong flovours or spice overtones. Smells and tast

English Harbour 1981 25-year

A very special treat I was given a taste of this superb rum. Wow. One of the best I have ever had. A definite 10.

Wonderful Sipper Had a chance to taste Zacapa XO at a friends house. Now he is a very good friend that I will visit more often. A straight sipper, smooth, nice body,

Flor de Caña Centenario 21 15-year

smooth as a baby's bum Close to perfect. Medium dark colour. Light nose but a hint of molasses. Full body with no burn. Again a light molasses flavour with a bit of cara

Centenario 20-year

A new favourite A recent trip to Costa Rica allowed a taste of Centenario 20 for the first time. The best rum I have ever tasted. Smooth with body, nice but gentle

Centenario 25-year

Amazing Bought this with a 20 year old in the San Jose airport. Loved the 20 in Costa Rica and find the 25 very similar. Top shelf rum so no one else can ge

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

pleasant sipper I have wanted to try Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva for quite a while but picked up a bottle only recently. I should not have waited so long. Very sm

El Dorado 21-year

The best of the readily available El Dorados Sipping for special occasions only. Good body and nose with a very smooth finish. Looking forward to the next special occasion.

Santa Teresa 1796

An excellent mouthful I have had my eye on this for quite a while and finally broke down and bought a bottle Wow, what a great rum Full body, very smooth, lingers in the

Juan Santos Cafe 7-year

A terrific after dinner treat Bought this years ago and it hid in the back of the cupboard until recently. A little bit after dinner liquear. Coffee flavour, rich, syrupy. smooth

Appleton Estate 21-year

A Pleasant Sipper I really looked forward to trying this 21 year old but was just a bit disappointed. Good nose and pleasant aftertaste but not what I had hoped for.

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-year

A pleasant surprise A gift from a friend. Called "Rare Casks" here rather than "Rare Blend" I assume the same product. Typical Appleton flavours but smoother, lingers

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

My favourite over the years One of the few premium rums I can buy in Canada. Smooth, easy and always reliable. A standard to share with friends whom appreciate a very fine rum.

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Perfectly placed between the 12 and 21 Better than the 12 but not touching the 21. Demeraras are my favorite rums and this one is always in the cabinet.

Flor de Caña 18-year

tasty Gentle nose. Just a bit of alcohol. Caramel and cloves on the tongue and a little lingering aftertaste. Quite smooth.

Gosling's Black Seal

Long a favourite Very dark colour. Lots of flavouring, caramel with a touch of vanilla. Great sipper with a bit of ice.

Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12-year

Not a bad sipper Nice body, molasses , smooth but not the best.. I need to try more.

Legendario Elixir de Cuba 7-year

OK sipper Not bad but no the best. Syrupy. Not a lot of flavour but a decent light after dinner sipper.

Flor de Caña 12-year

Not great for a 12 year old. Second time around update First thing is the alcohol nose and still a bit harsh with ice. Not much of an improvement over the 5 and 7 year olds. Let it breathe for a few minu

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-year

Surprisingly easy A nice simple sipper for a 7 year old. Basic and smooth with one ice cube. Great value for the price

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-year

A pleasant surprise I always assumed that "navy" rum came from the bottom of the barrel but this was closer to the top. Bought it for a friend and tried it with a bit of

Lemon Hart Original 1804

my every day taste with some ice Not a premium rum but with a few ice cubes a decent sipper. Something about Guyana rums makes them a little better than their price range.

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-year

A little sweet for my taste A very good rum but almost too sweet and spicy. A must have for the cabinet but no longer my first choice.

El Dorado 12-year

A cabinet standard One of the rums you keep on hand for a little treat. Sipped with a bit of ice, very nice. The 15 and 21 are better.

Barcelo Gran Anejo

Decent and great value We don't find Barcelo Rums locally so this was bought for curiosity. First sip bites a bit but then smoother. Not much nose or aftertaste but pleasa

Lemon Hart Navy Spiced

My favourite spiced rum Delicious with cola and ice. The best spiced rum.

Old Monk Gold Reserve

A surprise find I was amazed to see Old Monk in a local liquor store so I had to buy it to try it. In India I had found Old Monk the Legend to be the standard availa

Flor de Caña Black label 5

Nice for the price a regular sipper with ice. not great but nice flavour. good value for the daily dose.

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Mid range sipper Pour a glass, add some ice, read a book. It is not the main feature of the afternoon but not a bad sipper.

Flor de Caña Añejo Clásico 5-year

A Daily Tipper With some ice, not too bad as a sipper but not great.

Mount Gay Eclipse

Middle of the road Not much to this one. Light and gentle but nothing special.

tolerable basic sipper Harsh nose but let it sit, add a bit of ice to calm it and sip slowly. Not great but not bad.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Not great I had this several years ago on a cruise ship and not since. Harsh in the mouth, not much flavour, thin. Not a good buy for the price.

Old Monk The Legend

India's standard Drank a lot of this in India as it seemed to be the best available and brought a bottle home. I sip it occasionally but not my favourite by any means

One of the worst My first sense was bubble gum. What is in this concoction? Never again
