Pyrat Cask 1623

Smooth and sweet Too expensive but nonetheless great rum. Smooth, sweet, and mild with a flavor that lasts.

Cuba Libre El Dorado 21-year

Flor de Caña 18-year

Just nice Little bit of a bite taken over by lots of flavor. Very aromatic.

Papas Pilar Marquesas Blend

Papas Pilar Blonde

Kirk and Sweeney 18-year

Smooth and sweet Smooth that finished sweet. Mild complexity. Great aroma. Good sipper for beginners.

St. Augustine 2

Lucky to have tried it I was lucky enough to enjoy this while in St Augustine in October of 2015. It had a complex bouquet of tart and bright flavors, but had a signific

Captain Morgan Gingerbread Spiced

With eggnog This in eggnog is ridiculously good. Pro tip: not much use otherwise.

Key West Duval Street Spiced

Tons of flavor This is rum is packed with flavor with some bite. Great as a holiday rum.

Hampden Estate Pure Single Jamaican Overproof

Fantastic Jamaican truly a great Jamaican single rum. Great synergy of spice, sweet, bite, and burn. Get this instead of Appleton.

Diplomatico 2005

Smooth, not overpowering Nice balanced and smooth rum. Good flavor profile, but not overwhelming or mind blowing with flavor. Very subtle flavors. Not harsh, and goes nicel

Trader Vics Dark

Wow what a dark Great dark rum, sweet, smooth, and syrupy. Full of flavor and depth. Great for a dark floater or mai tais.

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Good, typical Jamaican Good rum, typical Jamaican Just a bit better quality. Not bad for sipping. Mild cigar matches this one well.

Cal F. Johnson Black Mountain

Tastes like it reads This rum tastes exactly like its made in the backwoods of the US. Smokey spiced rum with some unfinished bite at the end. Sweet overall as well. Ve

Smooth white Nice and smooth, subtle vanilla taste. Good for making a normal cocktail better.

Great white rum A very nice white rum that is better than most other whites.

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Really good for a mass produced rum Really solid aged rum. I had low expectations because I can find this in most grocery stores, but wow it is good. Priced right, easy to sip. This i

Brugal 1888 Gran Reserva Doblemente Anejado

Solid solid taste that caters to a more mature palet. Has a bit of a burn, but an array of flavors due to the double and different barrel aging. For the mo

Captain Morgan 1671

Surprise This one is actually pretty solid. Very interesting dark notes.

Blue Chair Bay Banana

Bahama Mama Must This is a great banana rum for those summer mixers. Higher quality than most others.

Plantation 2005 Barbados 13-year

Very nice Nice flavor, but let it breathe for a minute or so.

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

legit if you are looking for over proof then look no further. Lots of flavor and done right. far cry from overproof main stream brands.

Pyrat XO Reserve

Inexpensive sipper A solid sipping rum that won't break your bank. Compliments most mild to medium cigars.

Strangely great Stick with me on this.... Really sweet and tasty rum that I love for sipping. Too sweet to compliment a cigar but awesome straight up in the warm w

Kraken Black Spiced

Straight up or mixed Cool bottle, cooler rum. Great with ginger or cola. Also good straight up. One of the better inexpensive darks.

Key West First Legal

Cheers to key west Awesome distillery on the island. Take a tour and try some! A solid rum for any drink. You won't be sorry.

Myers's Original Dark

The standard for dark The standard for the industry. Great as a floater is most mixed drinks and stand alone in a dark and stormy. Try it with cola too.

Surprisingly great I had such low expectations that I was blown away. Solid rum for most drinks. Straight up with a orange and sugar candy is a sweet summer drink.

Blue Chair Bay Coconut Spiced

Good idea Spiced or coconut? Both! Pretty sweet when you drink it out of a coconut. Good concept and a great crowd pleaser.

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Solid choice A lot of flavors are in every sip of this rum. I was surprised with how well blended the notes are in an inexpensive bottle. It's great for mixing and

Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced

Nice spice Nice alternative to other spiced rums; it's slightly more syrupy than most so the consistency is different. Great in more complex rum cocktails.

Stolen Coffee & Cigarettes

Smokey sweet My favorite less expensive rum... such a great taste that is smokey, bitter, and sweet with a bite all in a bottle. It's a solid "go to" for any rum d

Plantation 2005 Jamaica

Interesting taste Nice, sweet profile with an interesting finish. One of the better Jamaican rums.

Blue Chair Bay Coconut

Better Coconut This is a better coconut rum for mixing than the usual suspects.

Blue Chair Bay Spiced

Better than Captain If you are in the store looking for the regular spice mixing rum, stop and get this instead. Same price, better taste.

Havana Club Anejo Classico (PR)

Good for mixing and sipping I really like this "all purpose" rum. Goes well with most things and by itself. Little bit of cheaper bite, but still good.

Cruzan Single Barrel

Not bad! Great for someone taking their plunge into better rums!

Cruzan 9 Spiced

pretty good I enjoy this one to break up the regular spiced rums. Its a little lighter than most.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Not as fancy as it looks Interesting rum: cool bottle, good price, but a different taste. Lots of flavor, not all of it goes together well. Still a good one to try.

Brinley Gold Shipwreck Coffee

Smooth and sweet Really good coffee rum; smooth, thicker than most, maybe too sweet.

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Great mixer This rum is a nice compliment to a dark rum mixer. Much more depth than a white pineapple generic.

Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Good not great I'm not a Jamaican rum fan, but this is good. Better than the regular Appleton, this features more depth and slightly more complex.

Barbancourt 3 Star 4-year

Great mixer Great mixer, especially with other good rums. Bitey but flavorful.

Islamorada Silver

Nice rum Nice rum for mixing, but it doesn't take much to mix. Good silver.

Brinley Gold Shipwreck Vanilla

Smooth Syrupy and smooth, overwhelming vanilla notes. More of a cold weather rum.

Cruzan Black Strap

just ok Not a bad rum, just a bit "Artificial" tasting for what it is. Better than some other leaders in the category.

Captain Morgan Private Stock

A step into higher end Not a bad sipper, but still cheaper in taste. Great mixer to switch up the old capt and coke.

Tiki Lovers Pineapple

great mixer I love that it's a darker pineapple to change from all of the clear ones.

Bacardi Reserva Ocho 8-year

Roll the dice This one is okay. Its a roll of the dice if you like it. Its a shot into the aged category but still cheap.

Seven Tiki Aged

Good not great On the sweeter side, maybe even slightly cheaper taste. Good mixer when you are tired of the same stuff.

Blackwell Black Gold Special Reserve

Dark and stormy Good taste but best in a dark and stormy! Not so great straight up.

Parrot Bay Coconut

Crowd pleaser Great crowd pleaser. This is a nice twist on a classic rum and cola. There is a 100 proof too, but I have not seen it in a few years.

Good alternative People like the Cruzan name due to their flavored rums for mixing; this is a great way to use the Cruzan product for alternative party drinks like rum

Calico Jack Coconut

Rivals Cruzan The mainland American Cruzan. Tasty product. You will not be disappointed.

Seven Tiki Spiced

Very sweet Almost overwhelmingly sweet. This could be mixed with sour for a good Cuban Old Fashioned.

Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez 10-year

Better than 8 Interesting flavor profile, pleasantly surprised. You might find it in a humidor with Bacardi 8 for a very good price.

Good Citrus Seriously.... pretty decent citrus rum for all of you mixers or rum bucket fans.

Plantation Jamaica Xaymaca Special Dry

very dry I didn't know rum could be dry, but this one is. Tough to sip and mix...but someone out there will love it.

Blue Chair Bay White

Better white Higher quality than your regular stock white rums. Brings a nicer element to mixing.

Key West Cuban Coffee

Wanted to love I really had high hopes; its good not great. Perhaps it needs a slightly better blend.

Captain Morgan Lime Bite

Mixer indeed Great to add a little extra to a dark and stormy. Nice lime taste. Add to margaritas too for a surprise rum guest.

Islamorada Spiced

Solid Spiced from the keys Standard spiced rum with the appeal its from the keys. Pretty cool bottle.

Nauti Spirits Straw

Solid Great "blonde" rum. Light oak notes make this ideal for dressing up a mixed drink.

Kula Toasted Coconut

Better than mainstream coconut rums I was surprised how much better this is than other popular coconut rums. Very nice taste, not overly sweet, light, still has flavor, almost able to s

Angostura 1919 8-year

Good not great Okay for an 8, but not meeting the standard. Nice notes, but a bit on the unrefined side. I'd mix this in a higher end cocktail.

Brinley Gold Shipwreck Coconut

Sweet and syrupy As with most Shipwreck rums, very sweet and thick. Not bad, just unique. It is nothing like most coconut whites.

Cruzan Raspberry

Mean Summer drinks Made some mean summer drinks with this one; especially fun in an arnold palmer iced tea.

Different Its the "aged" light rum that makes it slightly better than regular clears/whites.

Captain Morgan Loco Nut

Novelty Cool bottle, rum isn't terrible. I like the blue chair bay key lime rum cream with this.

Key West Chef’s Key Lime

Rough, must mix Super sugary sweet. It needs something else like coconut rum.

Havana Club Anejo Blanco (PR)

mehhh Good white, not great. Cool label though, if you like that stuff.

buckets! excellent in rum buckets or bahama mamas! mix it well, and don't use too much.

Bacardi Anejo Cuatro 4-year

high end mixer Sipping will hurt, but a good crowd pleaser for mixing.

Captain Morgan Tatoo

Good for the masses I give this to my friends who pretend to be straight up rum drinkers. It's not bad, ands it's a fun drink for parties where there are a variety of tas

Captain Morgan Cannon Blast

Fruit loops or fruity pebbles A fun shot that leaves everyone guessing what fruity cereal it tastes like. More so, a great conversation piece....the taste and the bottle.

Should be better It's good but I expected more from this brand. Maybe I drank too much of it on vacation in the DR. It just seemed a bit cheap or like a short cut rum.

Punch? Awesome for rum punch. Cruzan has so many good flavors that make them easy to mix.

Other options There are better coconut flavored rums out there, but this one is pretty smooth; probably more than most.

Cruzan Pineapple

A better choice One of the better pineapple rums, really goes great with anything coconut. You know.....keeping it tropical.

Gosling's Black Seal

Easily accessible You can get it in most stores which is nice. Great in a Mai Tai.

Bacardi Coconut

Better ones out there I would get a different coconut rather than this one; although not bad, there are better for the price point.

Bacardi Oakheart Cherry Stout

Nah I had high hopes, but it is another mixer and mix well. Little true taste or flavor.

Select Just remember, budweiser has a select as well and you know where that ends up.

Cruzan Strawberry

Decent Good summer mixer, and you can make some cool drinks with it.

Make mixing fun Not many people expect a nice vanilla note in their mixed rum drink. Crowd pleaser.

Cruzan Passion Fruit

Hawaii rum buckets yes to rum buckets at a luau. no to most other applications.

Rough but okay The first two seconds are amazing, but then it hurts. On the rocks helps cut it a bit. For $20 its a good mixer over captain, etc.

Zombies This has one purpose, making zombie rum buckets. Oh and forgetting things.

coke vanilla? excellent rum for coke vanilla. or any soda. or anything that mixes well.

Bacardi Major Lazer Limited Edition

what So i tried this because the name is cool and why not. Pro tip: don't.

Bacardi Pineapple

Better ones out there Better pineapples out there like Cruzan or Tiki Lovers.

Mix well Does the job of mixer that is just above "well" rums.

Captain Morgan Black Spiced

Great with cola I prefer this with cola over most others. It's not good enough to be straight up, and probably not meant for it either.

Captain Morgan 100

Kick starter You know when you are late to a party and you need to catch up? Drink this.

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

Standard People don't ask for "rum and cola." They say, "captain and coke." Unless you are Starsky and Hutch.....in which case it's "Bacardi and coke, d

Mix it Great in mixed drinks because BOOM! You are drunk.

Better than regular bacardi This goes well in cola, and that's it. But given the choice, it's better than regular Bacardi.

Malibu Pineapple

Mix in a coconut This is actually pretty sweet with coconut anything; creme de coconut, coconut rums, in a coconut, you get the idea.

Appleton Estate Dark

A better Appleton A better Appleton product; the bar was set low though. Try it as a floater first before diving in.

Bacardi Grand Melon

Great in beer.... This rum is bad...... but...... I had it in a Landshark Lager, aka loaded Landshark; pretty sweet. I'd say if you want to switch it up at a par

ummm eh So there are better black rums out there, but this will do if needed.

Bacardi Raspberry

good for buckets good mixer for rum buckets or holiday drinks! Not many brands offer raspberry

Captain Morgan Jack O Blast Pumpkin Spiced

maybe I typically do my October shot of this and try to remember why I did it in the first place. Good for Halloween mixes.

Kraken Black Roast Coffee

Hard Take a bad batch of kraken and add old, super acidic coffee to it. Very difficult to sip. It is black and stains your teeth quickly. Failed experim

Bacardi Dragon Berry

i'm not sure I don't actually know what this tastes like; maybe a random fruit mix. Good for summer rum buckets.

Tommy Bahama Golden Sun

Mix with a lot of something else Interesting that such a brand would make a less than stellar product. Mix it heavily.

Tommy Bahama White Sands

Generic for mixing. I think it's the hype that makes it cool. I mean, the bottle is cool, but it's very generic.

Bacardi Superior

Not cool unless.... Unless you are Starsky and Hutch Bacardi and coke....do it.....do it.

Admiral Nelson's Premium Coconut

Smooth but lacking Smooth but lacks ummmmm....... rum. And other stuff like ummmmm..... taste. It's a pretender.

Appleton Estate Special Gold

Tough This one was tough; not a great taste nor finish. Reminds me of a cheap whiskey.

A play on vodka? So basically, I believe this product to be a competitor with orange vodka because it sells. Do yourself a favor... Get real rum and a real orang

Havana Iced Tea Good in a Havana Iced Tea from Cuba Libre. Probably good mixing in other drinks.

Mix it well It's good in rum punch where there is a lot of other flavors present.

Captain Morgan Apple Smash

Good concept Bad execution. Good if you collect the bottles in the cannon shot series.

Kraken Black Label

Better black rums out there I guess I would use this as a floater in a mixed rum drink. Then again, there are better black rums for floaters.

Captain Morgan Watermelon Smash

Summer tourist rum I guess its tough to pull off watermelon rum. Too bad, all of the beach goers buy it.

Hard no Bad mix. You don't need this. Make a mojito naturally.
