Flor de Caña 130th Anniversary 20-year

if you use this as a mixer.... either you, 1. need psychiatric help or 2. have a lot of disposable income to spend on rum. Crystal clear deep amber color. Aroma vanilla and raisin w

Selvarey Owner's Reserve

What do these have in common....? Gal Gadot, Salma Hayek, Cameron Diaz, Ingrid Bergman (back in the day) have in common with SelvaRey Owners Reserve. They are all 10's. Okay so it is n

Still searching for that elusive 10 Fantastic rum. Nice dark rich amber color. Mild aroma of vanilla and raisin. Smooth taste. A tiny tiny bit bit too sweet. Close to a 10 but I cannot d

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

You get what you pay for... If there is one thing I have learned it is that generally you get what you pay for. Of course there are exceptions particularly with alcohol but this

Zafra Master Reserve 21

Majority rules I have to go along with most others and give this a solid 9 . aroma for me was some raisins, vanilla. Either way I found it more aromatic than el pasa

Appleton Estate Black River Casks 15-year

Appleton getting a little bit better with time My 3rd Appleton and went from a 7 rating for the 8 year reserve to an 8 rating for the 12 year rare cask to a 9 rating for the 15 year Black River. I

El Pasador de Oro Gran Reserva

Took a chance I had a bottle of plantation XO in my hand at the store and remembered reviews about El pasador gran reserve and figured I'd take the chance. I am rea

Origenes Don Pancho Reserva Especial 18-year

Another excellent rum from Panama I seem to gravitate to rums from Panama and Barbados even though the two have almost completely different styles. Really nice rum. For me stuck right

Flor de Caña 12-year

It grew on me I tried the Flor de Cana 7 year not long ago and was not very impressed and my first impression of this 12 year was also not so good. But after adding

Centenario 25-year

So close, yet so far away Beautiful dark amber color. Aroma just too much alcohol even after 20 minutes and swirling glass periodically. This is a very sweet rum with slight bu

Mount Gay Black Barrel Double Cask 7-year

This rum just needs a little patience Tried neat just after opening. Big mistake. Harsh. 43% abv and sure as hell tasted like it. Thought bottle was mislabeled and was drinking whiskey. O

Centenario 20-year

And the winner is..... I still had a fair amount of Centenario 25 left when I picked up the 20 today so how could I not have these two battle it out. Color on both are ident

RL Seale ABV 43 10-year

Bang on rum Okay, not the best rum I have tried but it really is not too far off from at least an honorable mention. And the just under $30 price certainly does n

El Pasador de Oro XO

Really fine alternative to the reserve Really enjoying this XO. I find it a little more harsh than the gran reserve but very enjoyable. Less money than the reserve and under $45 at TW For

Cana Fuerte Gran Anejo 16-year

Tastes as good as it looks Great box. Great looking bottle. Nice dark amber color. Been down this road before... and then the aroma and taste are disappointing. Except this not

Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12-year

The epitome of rum This, to me is what rum is all about. Nice smooth aroma. Deep flavor. Although there is a bit too strong of an alcohol burn in the aftertaste but that

Rumbullion Spiced

Moving on... My last review was yesterday in Belgium about Saint James, which was not good. In fact we left it at the hotel. Maybe housekeeping finished it. Anyway

Plantation Barbados 5-year

It started it all For some reason or another MG eclipse was my first rum a couple of years ago and I was not impressed. I figured I would give rum another try earlier t

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

The dynamic duo Jamaica and France. Just the right amount of funk. Just the right amount of cognac. Another winner from Plantation. Was a little sweeter than I expect

Stade’s Bond No 8 1-8 Years

Bang for the buck After trying a few months ago I went back recently to TW for another bottle and I am liking this rum more the second time around. Initially had given

George Bowman Colonial Era

Strong mid-price point contender This was a spur of the moment purchase and turned out to be a nice surprise. Molasses pretty much dominated the aroma and before I tried it I thought

Denizen Merchants Reserve 8-year

Spunk and funk At 43% ABV this rum provides a little extra kick and just the right amount of Jamaican funk. Well balanced and not a dry rum nor too sweet. Was not ex

Old Brigand Black Label 2-year

Wow!! This is peppery Foursquare / R.L. Seale do make some interesting/unique rums and this is no different. Dry like most bajan rums but this has to be the most peppery ru

Cockspur V.S.O.R.

No regrets here Really a good value rum. Semi-sweet and not as dry as other bajan rums. There is a sherry taste and smell which would normally put me right off but it

Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star

Sometimes simple is good Why over complicate things? This is simply a very nice rum. Sweetness level not over the top. There are no artificial flavors trying to complete with

Gosling's Spirited Seas Ocean Age Bermuda

Opthimus 25-year

I must be missing something Have had this rum near the top of my "once in a while" list due to the price and finally went for it. Wanted so much to love this rum but I don't. Too

Ten to One Caribbean Dark

Not exactly what I was expecting but that is not always bad I was expecting a sweeter rum given that it is a blend from the D.R. Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados (well maybe not the Barbados part of it). But it i

El Dorado 12-year

Appleton Estate Reserve 8-year

Apple to Apple This is 2nd Appleton I have tried so of course I have to compare to the rare casks 12 year that I still have left. This 8 year reserve really holds it

Real McCoy Single Blended 5-year

A winner If you like bourbon this rum is for you. A bit dry and spicy. Would almost put it into the spiced rum category. Almost. I have went through a good par

Origenes Don Pancho Reserva 8-year

Nothing at all wrong but... nothing really extraordinary Nice clear golden amber rum with underwhelming aroma. Nice layered sweet but not too sweet taste. Aftertaste is a short. For me it is a good solid rum

Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced 4-year

Hardest rum I have tried to rate Liked the price. Under $23 at TW in Delaware. Like the bottle design. Like the soft warm sweet vanilla banana and spice aroma. Like the taste. Not ter

Kaniche Perfeccion

Almost perfeccion Picked up at TW for just under $45. Aroma is weak for sure. But more important is the taste, which is really right up my alley. Not too sweet. Not muc

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Oh, it is good but.. Picked up this rum yesterday and my wife was not too pleased at the cost. But what does she know? Maybe more than I thought. This is a very good rum.

Equiano Original 8-year

Not exactly impressive Picked at total wine in cherry hill NJ. I am a fan our Foursquare distillery. and this rum has a kind of unique heritage being from Mauritius and Barb

Santa Teresa 1796

Smooth This rum for me was dry which I like. Not overly sweet with a nice smooth lingering taste. Aroma was mild. It is a fine rum for sure but really no WOW

Plantation Original Dark Double Aged

Matusalem Gran Reserva 18-year

Soggy Dollar Dark

Vizcaya VXOP 21

Very similar to Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced Rum This is not exactly what I was expecting. It is almost more of a dessert rum than anything else. For me almost exactly like Brinley Gold but with a li

RumHaven Coconut

Top of the crap heap With plenty of cheap rum liquors out there and all their artificial flavoring. This has been so far the top of the crap heap. Not disgustingly sweet.

Chairman's Reserve Original 4-6 Years

Really nothing special Good rum. Little bit of sweetness to it. And little bit of harshness and burn but not overly so especially when on the rocks. Just no character or com

Doorly's ABV43 12-year

Comes up just a little short I am a fan of Foursquare and Richard Seale. That being said this rum falls short of R.L Seale 10 year for me. It is a bit darker in color than the R.

Plantation Isle Fiji

Good but nothing stands out Title pretty much says it all for me. More of a golden color than amber. Sweet but not too bad. Alcohol burn is moderate (i drink and rate only on dri

Cana Fuerte Gran Anejo 7-year

Abuelo Gran Reserva 12-year

I am sure I will forget about this rum fairly quickly Aroma soft with some caramel and alcohol and detected wood scent. Taste was not overwhelming with sweetness for me. Definitely caramel, some spice and

Mount Gay Eclipse Heritage Blend Crisp & Aromatic

Barcelo Imperial

Just another mid to lower shelf rum When a nice bottle out does what is inside it, it is a little disappointing and that is the case for me. This rum is dry (which i like) not too sweet

Gosling's Black Seal

Really tough to rate From time to time I come across a rum that is not that easy to rate. This is one of those times. It is like a hybrid liquor and rum for me. Great mahg
