Abuelo Centuria

Thick, sweet and complex This will make you buy a Panama hat and smoke cigars, if you don't already. This is the best rum, I have ever tastes. Period.

Spank me this is good! Fat body, wonderful nose and a more than reasonable price. A must buy if you come across it.

Compagnie des Indes Barbados

Damn near perfect If you are into cask strength rum, you are into this one. Such power and finesse. I have yet to taste it's superior.

Not unique - but awesome This is one of the best rums I have tasted. Definitely in my top-10. But it is not unique in the sense of being very different from other premium sipp

One of the absolute best! While not the thickest rum, I have tasted, the taste just lasts and lasts and.... You'll find notes of banana and roasted nuts along with vanilla.

Bristol Classic Caroni

Powerbomb! If you are into Caroni, this is a very fairly priced bottle. The high alcohol percentage is felt and it feels like the rum is powerbombing your tasteb

Compagnie des Indes St. Lucia

Best buy I would say this is the best buy, I have in my collection from a value for money perspective. You have to appreciate the ripe bananas and fruity funki

Compagnie des Indes Guyana

Worth every penny I'm a huge fan of Compagnie des Indes, and this one really delivers. For 13-year rum, it's amazing how complex and tasteful it is. And at it's price,

Expensive but worth it I don't agree that this is worse than the 25 year old. Not as sweet and much more complex. If it's worth the extra cash, is up to you. I'm glad I got

Plantation St. Lucia

Best buy I can't think of a bottle that gives you more bang for your buck. It has that typical St. Lucia taste, which means we are not in the land of the sugar

Smooth and genuine This feels and tastes like a true handmade rum. No added sugar or fancy tricks. Is it that much better than the 18-year old to justify the jump in pri

Compagnie des Indes Guyana

Powerful! Wow! This one wrestles your tastebuds. Stay away if you are only into the sweet stuff. But if you like a powerful and complex rum, which demands a lot

Truly amazing Having been disappointed by the Punta Cana Tesoro, I was sceptic. But this is a true gem. Powerful and complex with an almost reddish color from the p

Appleton Estate Exclusive

Worth the trip When in Jamaica visit the Appleton destillery - the only place you can buy this rum. It's really good and complex. Not especially sweet, so if you are

New Grove Single Barrel

Surprisingly good Didn't expect much, but this is a truly great glass of rum. To me the main notes are apricot and cocoa. The high alcohol percentage gives the rum a lo

Excellent Very very nice rum. It's a blend of two 15 year old casks. Notes of honey and nutmeg. The higher percentage of alcohol helps a lot and the long aging

A Venezuelan must have A fair priced ultra premium rum. The best Venezuelan I have tasted. Even better than the more expensive Diplomatico Ambassador.

Diplomatico Ambassador Selection

Awesome but expensive This is for sure an awesome rum. Really great complexity - not as sweet as the other Ambassador rums. But it does come at a hefty price, where you can

Dos Maderas Luxus

Extremely smooth An excellent rum - one of the smoothest I have ever tasted. A smell of banana and sherry with a sweet taste of fruits and roasted nuts. Gets much bett

Dry and powerful I like my rums powerful, and this one delivers. It's quite dry, and I would have liked the body to be a bit heavier, but an excellent rum nonetheless.

Chamarel Single Barrel

Brilliant agricole The Chamarel distillery is only 9 years old yet produces some amazing rum. I get a lot of pepper and grass on the nose. For a single barrel I find the

Cacique Antiguo

Venezuelan luxury This is the best, the Cacique brand has to offer. Each bottle numbered by hand. Very smooth with cognac-like aromas. Hard to find outside Venezuela. I

Ron Esclavo XO Cask

Sweet and powerful The high alcohol percentage doesn't feel like too much. Like rest of the Esclavos we're talking sweet rums. A little overpriced at only 50cl a bottle,

Rum Nation Caroni

Good Caroni starter rum This is a good way to find out, if you are into the much hyped Caroni rums. It does have a little of the gasoline notes, but is a lot easier to drink

Ron Zacapa Etiqueta Negra

Way better than 23 solera As most other Zacapas, this is a crowd pleaser. I get mostly sugarcane, vanilla and a little oak. The higher alcohol percentage really works wonders c

Kirk and Sweeney

Good sipping rum A nice smell of vanilla and roasted almonds. And while it tastes like that as well, it has some oak to balance out the sweetness. And it has a long, n

Interesting rum with clear notes of anise The black bottle makes you think of liquorice. And not without reason - as the content has clear notes af anise seeds and as such is quite different t

Bacardi Reserva Limitada

Dont judge a rum by it's label... I was quite sceptic spending so much on a Bacardi rum. But this one is well worth it. Really smooth with notes og vanilla and oak. Some dried fruits i

Excellent but not unique Taste this and you will pretty much have the textbook example of what an excellent rum should taste like. But to me it doesn't have that special chara

Great - but had higher expectations I had heard so much good about this rum, so my expectations were very high. It is indeed a quality sipper, but for me it just isn't up there with the

Excellent rum at a fair price The best of the Presidente-range, if you ask me. You'll get a lot of bang for your buck. Sweet but still with a huge impact when it hits the tongue.

El Dorado Special Reserve

Well worth the money This one definitely beats it's younger brother. It doesn't quite match the 21 year old, but it comes quite close. To me this is the best value for mon

Rum Nation Barbados Anniversary

Nice but too sweet Fruits and vanilla is what you get. The rum has a silky soft feel on the tongue, but it's too sweet for my liking.

Ron Zacapa Reserva Limitada

Too sweet This rum is for the sugar lovers. So if you are into the crowd pleaser stuff - pour away. But it does not demand a lot from you, and I prefer my rums

Santa Teresa 1796

Light yet complex and elegant Has a light sweetnes to it with notes of vanilla and spices.

Abuelo Gran Reserva

Value for money Nowhere near the Centuria. But at the price still a very good rum. Oak and vanilla seem to dominate.

Rum Nation Peruano

Quick and powerful At the moment it enters your mouth, the impact of this rum easily compares to much more expensive bottles. Only downside is that the taste doesn't lin

Saint James Reserve Privee

Nice agricole at a fair price This was the first bottle of agricole in my collection. If you are curious about whether you like that type of rum, I recommend you to start here, as

Good but not great This well crafted solera will please most rum fans. It just doesn't really have anything to make it stand out from the pack. Slightly overpriced imo.

Origenes Rum Reserva Especial

Good but overpriced This is by no means a bad rum. It just doesn't have anything to make it stand out, and at it's price you would expect that.

Nice and spicy While it doesn't match the complexity and longevity of it's older brother, it is still worth buying. The Dictador range has a distinct taste to it - n

Splash the extra cash This is a good rum, if you are into the sweet stuff. But spend the extra cash and go for the 30 year old. It is much more unique and interesting.

Barcelo Imperial Premium Blend 30 Aniversario

Brugal Siglo de Oro

Great rum but hefty price No doubt, Siglo d'Oro is a fantastic rum. But with a price if about 100€, I believe there are several better rums out there in that range.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Sweet in many ways Definitely a rum worth buying. One of the sweetest I have tasted. And the price is very sweet as well. Not the most complex rum though.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva

Great value for money Not among the best rums out there, but at it's price you really get a bang for your buck. Ok for sipping, great for drinks.

Nice but a bit dry This one seems to polarize oppinions. To me it is actually quite good, though a bit dry. I prefer my rum to be a bit sweeter than this one. Though I d

Punta Cana Esplendido

Nice but lacking strength Sweet smell og toffee, but not a lot of power. By all means a decent rum, but at the price you can get a lot better.

Ron Zacapa Reserva Limitada

Very spicy Quite different from the RZ 23. It has a lot of different spices, which makes it a unique experience. Not quite my taste, but interesting nonetheless.

Appleton Estate

Disappointing At this price, you should expect more. The taste disappears quite quickly, and it is not that interesting while it lasts.

Cacique 500 Gran Reserva

Nothing out of the average An ok sipping rum, but don't expect to be blown away.

Matusalem Gran Reserva

Great for Cuba Libres Not the best sipping rum around, but at it's price it's worth using for drinks like Cuba Libres, as it by far smashes standard rums like Bacardi etc.

Pyrat XO Reserve

Too much orange A decent rum but with far too heavy orange notes to my tastes.

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

Good but not great Nothing too special in my opinion. A rum for your standard evening sip - not the special occasions.

Great value for money Although this one can be sipped, I would recommend it for drinks. But you get quite a good rum compared to the price.

Decent sipper without wow-factor You can easily get away with serving this one as a sipper. Like it's older brother - the 18 year old - it's not that sweet. So if you are into rums li

Pusser's Overproof

Too strong for it's own good I normally enjoy overproof rums, and this one is not bad at all. But it can't really justify its high percentage, as the taste is no that complex.

Appleton Estate V/X

Waste of time This one is ok. Nothing more. Sweater and light. Find a coke and you have a match.
