Zaya Gran Reserva

Excellent Probably the best rum available in the market I live in. Nice caramel and honey taste with a hint of spice. Good over ice with a twist of lime. The co

Blue Chair Bay Coconut

Favorite flavored rum This is by far my favorite flavored rum. The coconut isnt over powering, and the taste is amazing. i like the white version also , but the coconut tru

Chairman's Reserve

Good rum I fell in love with St Lucia rum 12 years ago and this rum is very typical of the Island. definitely get the vanilla, a bit strong for sipping for me,

Great rum I really enjoyed this rum. Too my nose I smell vanilla and cocoa. It has a good taste for sipping and mixing with coke zero. It was in a bit higher pr

Castillo Spiced

really nice rum for the money Rum had a great taste and exceptional value. I would only use it asba mixer but it works great with coke zero

Not bad A good rum for mixing. Not alot of flavors upfront, but still good. Price wise, cheaper than Mount Gay or Appleton reserve so its a really good value.

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Nice rum For the price, this is a decent rum. By far the best choice from the Captains lines. Love it with coke zero. Definitely get the spice, but it has a sw

Good for mixers I like this rum for daiquiris and pina coladas. Pretty much the same as most better flavored rums.

Old favorite Definitely been in my cabinet for years. Good for mixers.

Good mixer I dont like the color, and again I was left a little disappointed. But I did find its good in a Mai Tai or punch, or even with coke zero. Its a good b

Kraken Black Spiced

Okay Its ok, but im not big on super dark or spiced rums rums. Definitely has a unique flavor profile. Way better than anything Captain Morgan offers

Pyrat XO Reserve

Its good, not great This is a good rum. I like the hints of orange and the smoothness. Its a very good choice for mixers, and I love the bottle.

Mount Gay Eclipse

Good rum This is my go too rum. Its good with cola or fruity drinks. Too harsh for sipping or on the rocks with a lime twist. This is a far superior choice to

Appleton Estate Special Gold

Good beach rum I keep a bottle around to accompany my Mount Gay Eclipse. Pretty basic rum with good flavor and great price.

Cruzan 9 Spiced

Nice spice Like most of the Cruzan family, this is a good rum with a great price. Its not great, but very solid. The vanilla and cinnamon make it ok to drink on

Blue Chair Bay White

Good rum This is a good rum for fruity drinks at the pool party, or in a diet coke on the deck of my boat. Not amazing, just a good solid mixer. It has surpass

Good in Coffee or Chai I like the flavor of the Rum Cream in a hot cup o joe. Its a good way too start a day on the beach

Castillo Silver

always in my bar This rum has a nice taste and mixes great with any fruit juices.

Bacardi Dragon Berry

Not bad Not as good as the coconut , but fairly tasty. Good with passion fruit juice

Standard flavored fair I do enjoy the Guava flavor to accompany pineapple juice or a cup of strong black coffee

Appleton Estate V/X

Adequate party rum Appleton makes some very good rums. This one is ok, good for mixers while tailgating at a Buffett show, but not my top shelf liquor. It has decent clo

Seven Tiki Spiced

Ok rum Its an OK rum, just not good or great. Has some nice notes, color is ok, but left me feeling a bit disappointed.

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Good spiced rum I dont drink spiced rums often, but when I do, I prefer Sailor Jerry. Love the Vanilla and caramel tones. And the artwork on the back of the labels ma

Shellback Spiced

Decent rum This was a decent rum. Good with a coke zero. Nothing special, but it didnt make me gag either.

Myers's Original Dark

Classic Floater Ive always used Myers Dark as a floater for my famous home-made pina coladas, as well as in my Hurricanes. works great as an accompnier. way too stout

Brugal Especial Extra Dry

Good white rum I have a new favorite now, but Brugal Especial is still in my cabinet. Good with Mojitos and other citrus drinks.

Parrot Bay Coconut

Not bad and priced fairly This another flavored rum I can inter change with Cruzan or Malibu. Not as good as Blue Chair Coconut, but not bad. Captain Morgans best offering othe

Shellback Silver

Good for mixers Tried this at the beach last year and liked it for mixing. Definitely has a vanilla aroma and a sweet taste. But mixed with pineapple-guava juice it

Bacardi Ron Solera 1873

strong Not a typical Bacardi offering. The flavor lends itself to coke zero, but does have a strong after taste when sipped. Overall not too bad

Ok rum This is one of those times I tried to be adventurous and give a new rum a chance, in spite of my better judgement. I was surprised that it wasnt awful

Not bad Another bacardi offering, about like the other flavoreds. It is a good addition to a mojito for a little extra somthin somethin

Standard flavored fair Not much to say about this rum, but its cheap and mixes with fruit juices well.

Cruzan Pineapple

Standard flavored fair This one is a bit harsh for me as far as flavored rums go. Definitely not on par with coconut, mango, or guava from Cruzan.

Bacardi Coconut

Only Bacardi I can stand This is actually a decent coconut rum. Its below Malibu, Parrot Bay and Cruzan, but its not awful. The higher alcohol content adds to the bite, and it

Captain Morgan Lime Bite

Absolutely average My interest was piqued with the lime twist. But, sadly, it is still Captain Morgan. Just not an attention grabber. Ok with coke zero

Good mixer I use Cruzan Orange to make my wife's favorite margarita. Ok i know its not a traditional orange liquor like Bols , but it works well. Good for cookin

Good mixer This another good mixer for a variety of party punches. It has a decent taste but very sweet, like most flavored rums.

Ehh... Glad this isnt what I based my opinion of St Lucian rums on, but not exactly gasoline. Just a bit strong for sipping or Cuba Libres, but not bad in a

Captain Morgan Black Spiced

Kraken wannabe I think this might break someone from drinking Dark rum before it breaks them in. Its black, its rum , and its spiced. Thats about all it has in commo

Cruzan Black Strap

why? Its like Cruzan felt compelled to try to compete with other distillers and get a black strap rum out. Maple is a good discription. I like maple on my

Not terrible I used this rum one time to make a party punch while tailgating at a Buffett concert. It was all consumed, but thats not saying much. It had a strange

Bacardi Big Apple

Appletini mixer Another cheap rum i used as a party punch. Hey, it did get me a lot of new friends and several phone numbers. But as for taste, it left alot to be des

Very strong I didn't like this very much. It was really strong. Just dint suit my taste at all.

Captain Morgan Dark

Ugh This stuff is rough. Its definitely a frat house rum with a frat house appeal. Just nasty

Not a fan Just a well brand rum. better than some Bacardis but that doesnt say much.

Captain Morgan Tatoo

Oh so BAD nothing good too say. It was so strong and sweet that it wasnt drinkable to me. Cough syrup was a perfect discription.

Bacardi Superior

Not a fan If Bacardi Superior was all the rum i had to drink, i would switch to bourbon. or kerosene for that matter

Admiral Nelson's Premium Coconut

Dont.... Save yourself the trouble and just dont try this. Its that bad,

Good... if you are looking to peel paint or start a fire This is the nastiest stuff i have ever had in my mouth. I have siphoned gasoline that had better flavor. If you are making Hurricanes at least find a
