A rum drinker's paradise It's worth every penny! You'll hear whiskey drinkers boasting about the $200 they spent on a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue. Well, if you're a rum dr

I'm in love! Any rating lower than a 9 for this rum is nonsense! It's a godsend...and King of the Agricoles! Oak, vanilla, and caramel are the dominant flav

Very nice! I don't get easily surprised...but this one did it. If I can put my reaction into one word it would be, smooth. Despite the "XO" rating there's no

Another win for K&S Once again, anything less than a 9 for this rum is unconscionable! It is just as good as the 23 with some small differences. This one is a little le

Appleton Scores Again! This is a great rum. Almost a great as the 21 year old but I'm still going to give it a 10 Rating because the rum is still outstanding. The only bad

Pyrat Cask 1623

A must try If you're into rum this is a must try. I like it ice cold, out of the freezer. This is one of the most complex and enjoyable rums I've ever tried.

Mount Gay XO Cask Strength Limited Edition

A great rum...with a punch! Mount Gay did this one right. Oak, vanilla, toffee, leather, fruits and floral....very well balanced. But, there's a kick on the finish! It's a smo

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

A solid 9 I can't believe I'm seeing 7's for this rum. I think its a solid 9. It's a high priced rum that delivers as sipper.

Pyrat XO Reserve

Can't get enough of it It's just a really good rum and it is my gold standard for a "mixing rum." Ice cold, with Coke, or in a mixed drink this rum works with anything, inc

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Very good, but... This is a very good agricole rum, but its still a sweetened rum so I can't give it a 10. It's a bit over priced. But its still worth trying as a sip

Different but great! This bottle is different from Appleton's 12 year. The Rare Blend offers a different complexity, attempting to be more balanced that the original 12 y

Amazing...but... I knocked my rating down to a 9 after discovering that a bottle of this rum is saturated in sugar! 26g per liter to be exact. Tisk, tisk...and, yes,

Appleton Estate

Awesome! Drink it how ever you want! This rum delivers the goods and defines how an aged rum should smell, taste and finish. I raise an eyebrow to those who

It's a fun! The taste is amazing, a well made rum with a strong and sweet banana flavor. On the rocks, in a mixed drink, in a frozen drink or poured over a pie

Prichard's Fine

A good American rum It's good stuff... It's a little on the drier side and is unnecessarily expensive. But, still, its a rum worth trying.

Appleton Estate

Not bad at all It beats all the "Anejos" on the market to death... I like this one with coke but it can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or in a mixed drink. The aged

Of all the Anejo I've had before... This one isn't just slapped with the "Anejo" label. It actually holds up. The presence of oak puts that argument to rest. I liked the taste of toba

Very good You can't go wrong with this one as a sipper. I'm tempted to give it a 8 but its just too darn sweet and syrupy, I'll call it a very good "dessert ru

El Dorado Special Reserve

Not terrible but not impressed This is a way over priced rum, whiskey, rum, whiskey...let's just call it a rum that wants to be a whiskey but also has sugar added to try to make it

Prichard's Crystal

It's a good white but over priced This is a unique white...its sweet! Its great in a rum and coke. The price is inflated. Yes, its one of the best whites out there but still almost

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Very good! No...its not better than the 12. Not by a long shot. Anyway, this rum is sweet and mellow with a little bit of oak but not much.

Why is this rum gone? This is one of the better rums I enjoyed. But, I can't find it in NY anymore. Anyone know what happened?

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Not bad This rum has a lot of...everything! Spice, vanilla, oak, molasses. I appreciate a mainstream commercial brand trying to do something more sophistica

Appleton Estate V/X

An interesting and unique rum The flavor is complex if not confusing and that is the fun about this particular rum. It's not a "great" rum but still falls into the "Very good" rum

Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala

Good, but over priced This rum is like paying Mercedes prices for a Volkswagon... It's a very good Anjeo but for that price there is much better out there.

Appleton Estate Reserve

One of the best This is another must try. No, it's not as good as the 12 but its still a top notch rum.

A good mixer This is not a sipper or on the rocks. This is a classic mixing rum

Don Q Gran Anejo

Not "Grand Anejo" quality It's a good rum, but that's the problem. A Grand Anejo should offer something a little more.

Captain Morgan 1671

An over priced mixer My first reactions was...where's the rum? As a rum, I just don't get it. It's weak, over mellowed, and for a "high end rum" the flavors are off and

I don't get it. This is another over prices El Dorado rum. It's clear we are paying for the bottle as opposed to what's inside. And, once again the added sugar to a

Here we go again... This is another "okay" rum, whiskey, rum, whiskey that has sugar added to it to taste more like rum. I think if El Dorado actually tried to make rum

Cruzan Black Strap

Another dark rum...but this one is a little different Sweet and syrupy - yup, another dark rum. The "Black Strap" designation caught my attention and prepared me for something sweet. Different than Myer

Cruzan Single Barrel

Not bad, but over priced This is a very good rum but the quality does not justify the price. Cruzan made a very interesting single barrel that is very versatile.

Barcelo Imperial

A good rum but.... This is a unique rum experience and should be tried. That said, the rum smells and finishes like perfume! I prefer the cheaper and tastier Barce

Diplomatico Planas

Rum meets moonshine I think they were just playing around with this one or ran too large of a batch and went straight to bottling.

I hate the word, Anejo... ...because when it comes to rum it doesn't mean a darn thing! I've had rums under the "Anejo" banner that taste like gasoline and while this one is s

Kraken Black Spiced

This ain't your sippin' rum... Wow! This one will make you wide eyed if you drink it straight up. The flavor is just too powerful. Even with Coke its too strong. Add this one to

Barcelo Gran Platinum

Better than Bacardi Silver In the commercial grade rum price range this would be a great alternative to Bacardi Silver.

Another one bites the dust More proof that the word Anejo needs to be better regulated. This is a good, ordinary bottle of rum.

Not Impressed This is yet another example of the word Anejo appearing on a bottle of rum that is of "okay" quality.

Mount Gay Eclipse

Not a 7, but It's a good rum but I would't call it a 7. It's a step up from the commercial grade mixers. I can say at least MG is making an effort. It's nice to

Myers's Original Dark

Its in every bar for a reason... It's the cornerstone of dark mixing rums. Enough said.

Appleton Estate Special Gold

Better than Bacardi Gold! If you're looking for a dark rum to use as a mixer this is the one. It does not have the gasoline finish that Bacardi Gold inflicts on its drinkers.

Pusser's British Navy

Not impressed I think the history behind this rum is more exciting and interesting than its taste. It was...okay. Not bad, but not the great rum I expected.

Mount Gay Silver

Not a rum drinker's rum It's better than Bacardi silver...but its just a mixer.

Fail... Sorry, but not even close to Appleton's 8 and Bercelo's Imperial. There's no body at all, the smell is faint, and the finish is rough.

It's an okay Anjeo If your at a wedding or other function and its the only aged rum available then it will do in a mixed drink. As with all of Bacardi's products...its

Over Rated... Guys, seriously...some of you gave this a 10? I think a 6 would be generous. There are plenty of better mixers out there. It's better that Captain

Parrot Bay Coconut

It's just as good as.... It's just as good as Malibu but offers a little more of a bite with the sweetness.

Smith and Cross Navy Strength

If you're in to overproof rum this is a good choice I don't like overproof rum. I just don't get it. But, I have to say this rum offered more than just a hot burn and a fuel like after taste. This on

Admiral Nelson's Premium Spiced

A horrible way to honor the admiral This is a half hearted spiced rum. Better than Captain Morgan, but its still not very good.

Another Gold Mixer Better than Bacardi Gold. This is a rum and coke rum.

But...its just not rum Malibu is fun but its just not rum! Its a sugar packed coconut liquor that's used to make fruity drinks. It's mixed in drinks with rum, but to call

Bacardi Superior

All purpose, commercial grade rum It's a mixing rum, one step up from the fuel grade rum you'd see in a bartender's well.

Captain Morgan Tatoo

No quite This could have been a good commercial grade dark rum but it just doesn't have it.

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Fail... A mouth full of raisins! That's it. I can't believe this one got any 10 ratings at all. The only thing this rum is good for is baking. It's not

Are you kidding me This rum is horrible! It's a tobacco flavored Bacardi. Send the cigars, keep the rum!

Captain Morgan Spiced

Not good at all This is NOT top shelf rum... It's over spiced cheap rum that can ruin a glass of coke. This rum is for younger drinkers or people who just don't kn

Nice try, but no... I thought it was a joke then I realized the bottle read "Rum" on it. Nice try, Bacardi...but, no. This is a total mess.

Rum-Bar White Overproof

For rum punch only It's not as gasoline-like as Bacardi 151 but this sucker packs a punch and demands respect. This isn't for sippin' or shots. This rum is for a big b

Bacardi Oakheart

An epic failure Don't try to be Captain Morgan...that's just another commercial grade rum and both of you make enough of it!

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

Grow up... If you're still drinking this one its time to put on your big boy pants and experiment with better rums. I would even put this in Coke because I woul

Joke! Nose: Rubbing alcohol and a charred barrel Pallet: Undeveloped and harsh, a sad and unsuccessful attempt at being a decent rum Finish: Gasoline, so

Sorry, no way! The extra aging has done nothing to help this rum. It's still a mess.

Small batch, but no good These guys have a lot of work to do. Their product just isn't there. Maybe some charcoal filtering? I don't know but this is the second rum I've tr

Pepper Rum Um...no! Cool bottle though. But, hot peppers and citrus are only good in a BBQ sauce.

Don't waste your money This rum is horrendous and is actually worse than Bacardi Silver!

This rum was based on a dare! There I was after a hard days work, off the beaten path of my normal commute home when I decided to stop at a liquor store for some rum. It was a sad

John Watling's Amber

A fuel grade rum with a little age This is the same train wreak as the Pale rum. What makes this worse is they actually wasted a barrel by putting fuel grade rum into it.

John Watling's Pale

Fuel grade rum I would use this rum if my lawn mower ran out of gas... Totally undrinkable.

Havana Club White

Only for race cars! This is fuel grade booze. Period. I wouldn't even spike a punch with it.

Captain Morgan Lime Bite

FAIL! I tried this in a Mojito thinking it might be interesting. I was wrong. It was the worst Mojito I ever had...

Captain Morgan Grapefruit

A sick, twisted joke! I saw it at a party and had to try it. Knowing what the result would be, I was correct. Don't bother. Whoever at CM suggested this one should find
