Abuelo XV Tawny Port Cask Finish

One of the easiest drinking, fruity rums ever. One of the first exclusively fruity noses I've come across, full of banana and almond. Impossibly smooth on the tongue. Subtle nouget tones accent t

English Harbour 1981 25-year

For my taste, this is great stuff. Hefty Vanilla tones on the nose. Alarmingly smooth wash through to an oak tongue, sweet caramel finish. Subtle banana and what seems to be apricot h

Complex, Exquisite The first spiced rum I've had with a notably unique flavour profile. Vanilla and standard spiced flavours accented with prominent notes of cinnamon.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 18-year

Similar to the 15 Much like the 15-year, this rum is remarkably smooth with very deep oakey flavors. A rich, fruity aroma welcomes the first tastes. Strangely tastefu

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced 4-year

Definition of spiced. Where purely spiced rums are concerned, this is a gem. Very strong caramel flavor with a subdued, yet present and tasty spice flare in the throat to

Gustoso Aguardiente Anejado

Raw, delicious Very unbridled flavours here. Spicy notes on the nose and instantly wash the tongue accenting deep banana flavours. Bold, raw taste. Phenomenal fla

Angostura 7-year

Chocolatey Sweet Apple notes on the nose. Very dark cocoa, chocolate, tobacco notes on the tongue. Very rich. Absolutely delicious for me at least.

Superbly flavourful Hefty banana and caramel on the nose. Not too much burn as some other ratings imply. First taste brings sweet notes of apricot and a very toasty oak

El Pasador de Oro XO

Boldly sweet Very subtle citrus tones on the nose. Somewhere between oranges and apricots. Very sweet tongue, carries a subtle spice, but boldly displays tones o

Cruzan Black Strap

Deep cocoa flavour Deep, dark chocolate flavours littered throughout. Almost like a chilled espresso hot chocolate. Incredibly smooth. Lacks the intensity of other bl

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

For a particular niche If you're a fan of lighter bodied, yet deep, oaky tastes, this is imo the best dark rum/cost there is. Either poured on rocks or with a splash to 1:1

Sweet and spicy Hefty spice forefront. Littered with strong pine and cinnamon essences. Smoothly transitions to a caramel maple (oh so Canadian) finish. Definitely

Cana Brava Light

Giving a high rating for complexity As the title implies, I'm not sure how to rate this. I'm not a white rum fan at all, prefer my darks and spiced, mostly for the notable complexity of

Tasty in its own right By conventional rum standards, it may be a little over sweet, but who cares, it's very tasty. Hefty banana essence and a sweet vanilla finish. For a

Flor de Caña 18-year

Hinging on a 9 Lacking in depth, but very very smooth. Light banana and nouget tones on the back of the tongue. Definitely an exquisite sipper.

Barcelo Gran Anejo

Solid oaky backing. Where dark rums are concerned, this one has a complex, almost fruity forefront. Hefty notes of apple and apricot adorn the palate, quickly followed w

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Very sharp taste, smooth finish On the first touch of your palate there is a hefty warmth, almost to the ilk of a spiced rum. Unbelievably smooth oaky flavors fill the body and wash

Dictador Solera Distillery Icon Reserve 20-year

Super rich in caramel The wash over the tongue lacks any distinguishing flavour, yet the secondary and lingering tastes unquestionably raise the standard of this rum. Rich

Captain Morgan Private Stock

A tasty treat For a long time this has been my go-to drinking rum. Good over ice which brings out more of the already present and delicious, rich sugarcane taste,

Barcelo Imperial

Deep, complex Perhaps a bit generous of a rating, but by my preferences this is outstanding rum. Hefty tastes of banana and vanilla create a deeply tasteful and sm

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Exceptional, conventional rum taste Hefty oak flavours backing a traditional amber rum flavour. Apricot, vanilla essence entwined behind very full-body tastes. Phenomenal sipping rum,

Not for my taste, but very good; smooth. Harsh burn to the nose. Quite sweet, almost sour scent. The sherry comes through strong. Very smooth, little light in flavour. Vanilla and a mild

Royal Jamaican Blackstrap Dark

Difficult to place; just jokes, its textbook blackstrap. VERY strong flavours and very complex. The nose offers a convoluted mess of sweet and sour. Would even like it to sweet and sour sauce. The flavour

Blackwell Black Gold Special Reserve

Veeeery oaky. Smoke and Vanilla on the nose. Very harsh first taste. Flirts with chocolate, vanilla and mint beneath a VERY wooden tongue. Definitely interesting

Morbleu Spriced

Something completely different Soft tones on the nose deceive the taster. Prominent pine and mint flavours lead the charge on an aggressive tongue. Follows with subtle vanilla und

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Tasty, something new. Cognac overtones wash through to vanilla, nougat aftertastes. Amazingly smooth, a definite sipper. Worth the cost to a T.

Unique chocolate taste Carries a deep cocoa, chocolate, almost coffee flavour.

Black Magic Black Spiced

Very interesting. Toffeeish A blast of HEFTY caramel sweetness on the tip of the tongue. Washes to a toffee finish. Notes of caramel on all levels. No other real way to descri

Impressive I've always been a believer that Bacardi was a go to for VERY light bodied, smooth tasting, but also mild-flavored, lacklustre rums. This is the firs

Diplomatico Reserva

Very very smooth Oaky smokey tongue, follows with a nourishingly smooth caramel body. One of the smoothest I have had. Could deserve a higher rating if not for my fi

Havana Club 7-year

Very sweet, smooth. A sweet, almost tart forefront. Washes out to a fruity, banana finish. Quite tasty, blends phenomenally with just a splash of cola.

Pyrat XO Reserve

Perhaps a generous rating A very light, very smooth amber rum. Light hints of vanilla compliment the subtle sweetness. Again, maybe generous on the rating at a 7, but I'm def

Macorix Rebel Spiced

Very tasty As a pure sipping rum, this is absolutely delicious. Very hefty tones of coconut and cocoa. Not much of a burn on the throat. A tasty treat.

Kraken Black Spiced

Maybe a bit generous Lacking in complexity, but definitely a certifiably tasty spiced rum. Very deep, dark caramel flavors with a hefty mid-range flare.

Appleton Estate Extra 12-year

Best mixed Potent first taste ripe with alcohol infused sugar. Leads to a caramel rich after taste. One of the best rums in my collection when mixed with Coke.

Captain Morgan Jack O Blast Pumpkin Spiced

A tasty treat Artificially sweetened and flavoured, but does the trick. Absolutely delicious, truly does not need any mix, though ginger ale gives it a perfect pop

Lemon Hart Original 1804

Flor de Caña 12-year

Simple, smooth. My first experience with flor was the 18 year, so I'm a little biased in my rating. Carries the same smoothness I know flor de cana for, however it l

Newfoundland Screech

Hefty tropical theme Hearty amounts of Banana flavor on the forefront with a tasty caramel finish. Definitely a simple sipper if so inclined, functional as an easy mixer.

Surprisingly not bad Strong Vanilla/caramel flavors. Hefty burn in the ilk of a poor man's spiced. Follows with a whiskey aftertaste

Captain Morgan 1980 Black Label

Smooth, but lacking in depth The smoothest Havana club I've had to date, but it seems as though it sacrifices deeper flavours which accent the cheaper versions. None of the citru

More vanilla than Morgans Along the same lines as captains spiced, slightly more vanilla, not as harsh a finish. Works as a substitute for a standard issue spiced rum.

Flor de Caña Añejo Clásico 5-year

Light, quite stiff Hefty paint thinner taste washes over the palate. The subtle banana notes typical of a flor de cana are present. Actually quite lovely as an afterta

Matusalem Clasico 10-year

A little bland Comes on like a freight train in the nose with a potent alcohol burn. Taste is very mellow. Subdued vanilla and virtually no burn to it. A fine mix
