Cowboy Country Distilling Rooster Special Reserve

Appleton Estate 21-year

A beauty Deep, golden color. It sparkles in a glass. Wonderful nose, that delicious Jamaican funk, and the subtle orange underneath. So smooth on the tongue

Very tasty Delicious. A serious step up from Zacapa 23. Hard to find at home, I've only had it at high-end hotel lounges. No detailed review because I don't ha

Plantation 2003 Jamaica Clarendon Mmw 16-year

Delicious Jamaican taste through and through! Wonderful nose, with some Jamaican funk. Drier than you might expect, due to no added sugar!! (Yes, a Plantation rum with no added sugar!) It is a

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Very fine A benchmark rum. A Solera, so the label is misleading (with the oldest at 23 years). But, a smooth drinking rum. On the nose you find oak, toffee

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Who knew a pineapple rum could be this good I'm always wary of flavoured rums. A friend took a chance on this though, and man was I happy about it. Immediately on opening the bottle, you could

Bacardi Reserva Limitada

Amazing, I'd never think it was Bacardi! Amazingly smooth. Little sweeter than I'd expect, and very tasty. The smoothness is unexpected, the aroma suggests a little more bite. This is a very

El Dorado 12-year

For the price, the finest rum you can buy There are better rums. There are cheaper rums. But for the price (<$30), this is the finest rum you can buy. Great starter, delicious sipper. Neat, or

Panama Red Overproof

Very nice overproof rum The bottle (with a screw cap) doesn't inspire greatness, and the (generally) low price doesn't suggest high quality. Don't let that fool you. This is

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-year

Tasty new rum Delicious aroma, immediately you get the cardamom and molasses. Smooth tasting, little bits of clove, nutmeg. No burn, with a little longer taste.

Appleton Estate V/X

A nice versatile Appleton This is a flexible rum. I can happily sip it neat, I can mix it up. I don't feel like it's too fancy for mixing, but also not too low-brow to sip.

Barcelo Imperial

Smooth sipper Oakey aroma. Smooth, soft in the mouth. Sightly dry. Lingering finish. Slight, light burn on the tongue, as the taste slowly fades.

Angostura 1919 8-year

Captain Morgan 100

Very tasty spiced rum This is one of my favorite spiced rums. I'd drink more of it if it wasn't 50%! Best served mixed, on any of your regular mixed drinks. Goes very well

Dark Matter Spiced

Tasty rum, but the wine overpowers This is a gorgeous looking rum. Beautiful bottle, rich golden colour in the glass. Nice aroma, vanilla, cherry (maybe red licorice? must be the wine

Malecon Reserva Superior 15-year

Nice Panamanian drink I'll say that the thing that stands out the most is a faint nuttiness. On the nose, in the mouth, and as a lingering aftertaste. Very interesting.

Havana Club Cuban Smoky

Not surprisingly... It's a smoky Havana Club It looks like a Havana Club, smells like a Havana Club, but there's something extra on the nose... Smoke. Not quite a peaty smoke, but definitely smo

Flintlock Bourbon Cask Spiced Rum 2-year

Exciting craft rum This is a young light spiced rum. Aged in bourbon casks, and there's no chance of missing that. The bourbon is on the nose immediately. The rum is

Montanya Platino Light

Decent white rum Better than Bacardi White 🙂. Pleasant sugary nose, like Brown sugar or caramel. Not sweet tasting, slight burn at the neck of the mouth. We used it

The Lash Spiced

Interesting taste, good mixer A little harsh for drinking neat, but ok on ice. Quite good with cola though. A little expensive for a mixing rum.

Captain Morgan Spiced

The standard for spiced rums. There's always a bottle of Captain Morgan Spiced in my cupboard. Not a sipper, it's a little raw for that. But it's great in mixed drinks, a Captain &

Secret Barrel White

Ok white rum This is a tough one. It's a young white rum, so it's missing all of the beauty of an aged rum. It smells overwhelmingly of alcohol. But the taste is

Not a classic "rum" Quite tasty, but overwhelmingly banana flavors hit you. If this was marketed as a dessert rum, or a banana liquor, it would be a different story. But

Bacardi Oakheart

Tasty, not as good as Captain Inexpensive spiced rum. Different flavor profile than Captain, less vanilla. But I like vanilla, so I prefer Captain to Oakheart. But I'll happily dri

Captain Morgan Cannon Blast

As a shot, or mixed with cola On ice, this could be sipped. Very sweet, a little syrupy, heavily flavored. Lemon, pepper, something kicky... (jalapeno?) Not a particularly good rum

Coconut rum. No surprises This is barely a rum, it's coconut flavoured liquor. Weak enough to drink straight, bad enough that you would never want to. Cheap "rum" for a chea

Bacardi Superior
