Hamilton White Stache

Excellent white mixer White Stache has become one of my go to light rums for mixing. Proofed perfectly. Plays extremely well in a cocktail. Appropriately price in one liter

Foursquare 2004 Zinfandel Cask Blend 11-year

Rum The Right Way No added sugar or flavors. Everything is coming from distilling and barrel aging. I am interested to learn where foursquare is getting their zin barre

Ron Del Barrilito 2 Star

S.S.R. Strong Smokey Rum. 86 proof but seems hotter in a good way. Not overly sugary yet burnt caramel comes through. In a blind taste I would be tempted to

Santa Teresa 1796

A Single Malt Drinkers Rum Santa Teresa is right up my alley. This is a deep and satisfying sipping rum. Aromas of cedar and oak and quite a bit of medicinal notes up front. On

Denizen Merchants Reserve 8-year

Doorly's ABV43 12-year

Solid Easy Sipper Hard to fault this bajan rum but for a 40% bottling. Would definitely add a star if it had a bit more heat. That said if it’s an easy sipper you seek

Gold Jam Mix A bit hot for a 40% rum. Sipped neat the funk is there in the background but not so much that it stands out in a mixed drink. Not a bad rum to keep on
