Captain Bligh Golden
Absolute Class
This is very similar to Bajan rum's such as Foursquare and Mount Gay. This is the most aromatic appealing rum I have ever sipped. The flavour isn'

Excellent
Rum. Beautiful example of pot still Bajan rum A lesson to most in rum making
9
El Dorado
Special Reserve 15-Year
Excellent Demera Rum
This is the best Demerara rum I have tasted to date. Very rich yet not sickly full of flavour and a rare rum which I can actually sip. Great stuff

El Dorado
21-Year
Outstanding
Was concerned the rum would be come to oaky at 21 as the 15 was pushing it. It doesn't it's excellent. Would give it a ten if it was little cheap

Pusser's
Red Label
As always
Pussers delivers Great even at the lower ABV. Wonderful stuff
9
Havana Club
Maximo Extra Anejo
Excellent Rum
But unlikely many will ever taste it. A silly price

Barbancourt
5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year
Classic
A classic but somewhat different rhum. Do not dismiss this rum because you do not like agricole. Has very little by way of vegetal/grassy notes.

Pusser's
British Navy 15-Year
excellent
Full of flavour step up from the blue label

Mezan
Panama 1999
Pleasipped
To get a Mezan which finally hits the spot. A little extra punch to this one. A complex and nicely made Latin style sipper great just on its own

Pusser's
British Navy
A rum for Sailors
Or anyone who really enjoys a complex naval style blend. Excellent quality rum.

Lemon Hart

Rich and Dark
Intense treacly flavour. Not as pungent or harsh as mosts 151's. Great rum

Mount Gay
Black Barrel
Bourbon like
Charred oak barrel notes open up to leave you with a classic pot still Bajan rum. Different and very nice if you like an oaky feel to your drink.

1931

The best

1931
80th Anniversary
Not as good
As I was expecting. The pot still element of this rum can be a little difficult to get to grips with. Quite funky and a little vegetal.
7
1931
82nd Anniversary
A different beast
to the 1931 (1st edition). Still quite funky and a little vegetal in some ways but is slightly more refined and seems to have blended a little better
7
Brugal
Especial Extra Dry
Solid White Mixer
A really nice well put together slightly dry white mixing rum. No sipper but no pretensions to be one. Great in a Cuba Libre

Havana Club

Tasty Cuban
A light delicate Cuban style rum. Much better than their Anejo
6
Havana Club
3-Year
Not bad for a white
Rum tasty enough when mixed.

Diplomatico
Reserva Exclusiva
Wolf in Sheeps Clothing
A complex sipping rum at a more than reasonable price. However all is not what it seems.........

Diplomatico
Añejo
Surprisingly Good
For an entry level Anejo this is surprisingly good stuff! A more honest offering than their Reserva Exclusiva!

Pyrat

Marmalade
You either love it or hate it. It doesn't have a hint of orange its an orange rum! Personally I like the difference

Spiced? Flavoured?

Gosling's
Gold
Enjoyable
And quite different Gold Mixing Rum. The Black Seal's naughty younger brother. Well worth a try.
6
Bacardi
Reserva
Shows that
Bacardi can make a decent rum. Smoky flavour and mixes well.
6
Old Monk
Supreme
Not sure
If this rum is any different to the XXX 7 Year Old vatted. Other than the ABV tastes exactly the same. Not for everyone but a nice sweet change
6
Westerhall
Superb Light
Good Price
And a nice gold mixer. Well worth £20 Slighty sweetened but still a nice base rum
6
Mezan
Guyana 1998
Nice
To get the chance to try an "untouched" Demerara at around £30. Not bad but an unremarkable column stilled rum. Interesting to try this rum and it
6
Havana Club
15-Year
Not quite as good
As the price would suggest it should be. Too much tar and tobacco and overly sweet. Bang average
6
Ron Zacapa
XO
Average
Not really getting all that much for your money. Dense and cloying the 23 is better but that's not great either.
5
Appleton Estate
Special Gold
So so Entry Level Rum
Not brilliant but not bad either for mixed drinks Lacks the Ooomph of the V/X
5
Havana Club
Anejo Reserva
Average
A very average light mixing rum
5
Matusalem
Gran Reserva 15-Year
Slightly too light
A very light rum with a little smoke. Not very complex and a little thin taste wise especially when mixed.
5
Angostura
1919
Seriously Smooth
The smoothest rum I've tried. Unfortunately it doesn't have a taste too match. Tastes a little odd slightly soapy.
5
Bacardi
Superior
Much Maligned
Bacardi can do decent rum but this is for uneneducated masses.

Black Spiced

Uninspiring synthetic "spiced" rum http://thefatrumpirate.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/thefatrumpirate

Value for Money
Decent enough mixing rum for the price tag. Can be sipped but isnt a patch on the Aniversario http://thefatrumpirate.wordpress.com/

Dark
First dark rum
I ever tried. All round not a bad rum to be honest. Much maligned. Very cheap! Not bad for Agricole style and very inexpensive

Wood's 100
Old Navy
Good Solid Naval Demerara
Based rum. Not bad but not very complex. Better than Lambs though http://thefatrumpirate.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/thefatrumpirate

Bacardi
Oakheart
As a Spiced Rum
It is very enjoyable. Better than Morgans Spiced and Sailor Jerrys. Not a patch on Foursquares though

Not the greatest
"Jamaican" rum ever but okay http://thefatrumpirate.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/thefatrumpirate

Bacardi
Gran Reserva Maestro de Ron
White sipping rum?
Works surpringly well. Very sweet like green apples and citrus orange. Makes a nice change.

Premium
Not bad
For a cheap Demerara blend. Sweetened as most are at this price point. Outshone by its bigger brother but not a bad mixer if you can get a hold of

Low proof and pretty sickly. There is worse but good rum and coconut water is far better
