Kirk and Sweeney 23-year

Delectable! The aroma was even better than the flavour....ok nearly. Silky smooth with banana, vanilla and butterscotch. A saver for special moments.

Mount Gay XO Extra Old

My Benchmark Almost perfect on most levels, great neat or with single ice cube

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Impressively Smooth & Complex Just Yes! Don't dear pollute this, try straight up first in a good tasting glass then add a nice cube for a whole new variation on the nuances.

Flor de Caña 18-year

Exceptional Delicate and smooth, a crime to drink any way but neat. Please savour!

Mount Gay Eclipse

Ideal Mixing Rum My entry to the "real" rum world, brilliant with tropical fruit juice or in a Cuba Libre

Havana Club Anejo Reserva

Cuba Libre Tall glass, lots of fresh lime and Coke, add a big slug of this = Sublime!

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

Luxuriant Smoothness One to savour and enjoy like a fine Cognac.

Gosling's Black Seal

Old Skool Navy Amazing in Dark and Stormys particularly in their branded special glasses. Try it with Gummi Bears at the bottom for pure novelty!

Angostura 1824 12-year

Delicate and complex Excellent but not exemplary!

Bielle 2003 Vieux

Complex but delicate Very rare but worth a taste to find the depth of flavours. Don't even think of killing it with a mixer!

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Benchmark? Delicious and subtle neat, but good for mixing though a waste to spoil it that way

Diplomatico Reserva

A good entree If this is the start then bring the rest! Smooth and classy

Bacardi Superior

The Classic Mixer For cocktails you can't go wrong.

Havana Club Blanco

A Better Bacardi As White Rums go nicely balanced

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Cocktail Specialist Good in mixed drinks as the unique variety of spice can be overwhelming for some straight up. Can overload a Cuba Libre!

Bundaberg Original UP

An Aussie pub classic Great if you are on a budget night out and like molasses and coke and fancy a punch up later

The Original Alco-pop Only gets a reasonable rating cos it's amazing with pineapple juice, otherwise one for the kids, and known to nauseate others! Ok in cocktails.... Haw

Kinky Nero Pure Pleasure

Nice name.... Trendy bargain version of Bacardi but worse.... Much worse.
