Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

My favorite rum to sip, it's sweet but I like it The bottle looks older than the rum, love the dull finish. I would never think of mixing it. Maybe a big oversized ice cube, and let it sit. Some say

El Pasador de Oro XO

Oak, but only just - Sweet, but just - Just Right I admit to being partially biased to sweet Rums, and this is one. But only just. Maybe butterscotch or carmel. Yes, oak but so mellow. And so smooth,

Great for sipping A very pleasant surprise to get a great sipping rum. Dark amber, vanilla and a little sweet butterscotch mixed with a herbal hint that comes to life a

Plantation Original Dark Double Aged

Twin Column and Pot Stillageg, double the value I really lucked out on a bottle of Plantation Original Dark Rum 1.75L. Total Wine marked it less than the 750ml bottle, so it was less than $23. That'

RL Seale ABV 43 10-year

Natural run thats a natural for me. No additives! So, Total Wine & More opened a new store only 6 miles from my home! To celebrate this, R.L. Seals’ 10 Year was offered at a discount plus coupons that

El Dorado 12-year

BourRum I love the Navy bottle, and what it holds. Initially I found 12 years in oak casks had invaded the aroma but only momentarily, then Irish whiskey and

Doorly's ABV43 12-year

Expertly blended and (don't tell) rather underpriced. In the glass Doorly's 12yr old is a wonderful red copper, the nose is a subtle but complex mix of vanilla, fruits and oak. First taste brings sweetne

Don't miss this one! Now if you enjoys a smooth, slightly sweet rum that has some complexity in the finish and don't want to ration out some high priced exotic, this rum i

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-year

Zaya Gran is Grand My goto sipping rum! Easy on the burn, wonderfull long finish. Yes it hits the nose with venilla but the sweet caramel taste makes this what I find pe

Gosling's Black Seal

Seals it for me It's not as dark as one might think. I expected something black and heavy but the appearance really did reflect the experience. That is to say, a li

Atlantico Private Cask

Smooth and sweet but would be better if it cost less I did enjoy this rum both off and on the rocks. Rather sweet, long legs and vanillia. Some hint of honey? The bottle is rather nice, it was added to m

Doorly's 8-year

7 if you like sweet 8 if not So I may have lost my taste to COVID (but I tested negative) but I really liked this 8yr Doorly's. I thought the 12 yr was great, smooth and slightly

Pyrat XO Reserve

The "pyrats" were a rough bunch! The bottle would handle a rough sea without tipping, I really liked it. But the rum was too rough for me. As others have said, let it rest about 10 mi

Captain Morgan Dark

Dark mix not sip Not bad as a mixer, it added some complicity and is smoother than l expected. Not aged but it's spiced so why care?

Must have for a party mixer I will always have a bottle on hand for everyone that likes mixed rum drinks. A very good value. Rather light in color and taste but I would not sip i

Cruzan Black Strap

Not like any other rum er I mean syurp. Saw this on a friends shelf and asked to try it. Should have known what to expect it was her cooking shelf in the kitchen. Very sweet but not really t

Blackwell Black Gold Special Reserve

Not quite up to the hype OK, the offset label and the plastic "seal" fit the story and the price is not bad. If I am in the mood for a "darkish/spiceish" rum this would be my

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Keep the bottle ... Well I found this on a shelf at a party My own take on it was that the bottle is awesome. the rum, not so much. Simple, bitter not bad on ice but not

El Dorado 5-year

Younger sibling, not as refined, not as sweet, bit harsh. So age does make a difference. But at this price not a all bad. you could sip it but let it air first. best to mix and enjoy

Plantation Barbados 5-year

Ok, just ok Can't say you don't get what you pay for. but unless mixed it lacks dimension. Sweet, smooth ish. Not too pricey.

Bacoo 12 - 4 years = 6 Sadly 4 years makes a big difference. I thought the 12 year Bacoo was very good and hoped this 8 year version would come close. OK, its not bad at all

Carta Vieja Anejo 8-year

Another rum headache This is a another inexpensive rum that will taste okay if you don't mind the after effect of a headache. But too sweet for me and a very strong alcoho

Flawed, in dire need of a lot of cola I found this rum on sale and a quick check online gave me hope of a mixer. It was not to be, the strong medicinal odor and taste overwhelmed my abili

Appleton Estate V/X

Easy to find and handy to keep around but not the best I found this to be light in color and flavor. Smooth in the mouth with a harsh finish and spicy/wood flavor, some citrus notes and not too sweet. Remi

Bring to the party Best way to heat up a cocktail, it won't take over or get lost in the mix. Most will like it as a gift, but hope for lot's of mixer.

Basic mixer My rum/coke standard. Easy to find and not too expensive. Let's you know you have a alcohol drink right away. I would like to find a more flavorful m

Captain Morgan Spiced

Just mix the Captain Ok, so it is not a aged sipping rum, just mix it. It will stand up to ice and coke and add something in addition to a nice burn. Keep on hand for a pa

Santa Teresa Anejo

Sweet start astringent finish The long legs give a hint to the sweet molasses start and the "aged up to 5 years" gives a hint to the rather astringent finish.

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Love the 1940's Hula gal Looks like it should be on the nose of a B25, that said this is good as any spiced rum. It's just not better than the other I have found I like. Too m

Cuba Libre El Dorado White

Resturant - Rum Bar Rather smoother than normal for a white rum, moderately sweet with a slight honey taste that changes to a "hint of mint" nothing over powering but not

Kilo Kai Spiced

Spiced? More like Ludens Wild Cherry Not what I expected from the high ratings (10's) I have read. Is sweet - vanilla, cherry, caramel a spice? Hard to find any spice for all the sweet

Daufuskie Island Spiced

US island rum Nice tour of the very new distillery. Hand numbered batch and bottle label. Strong cinnamon, clove as well as other spices and citrus, plus an odd fl

OK, just ok Not a bad mixer, does not add any flavor just a little sweet nothing. I can't see what all the high rating are about. I really like dark aged rums so

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-year

Rhum Agricole not my Rum In all fairness I did not understand what Rhum Agricole is about. So to me this was not as sweet as I prefer and had too much burn with little afterta

Mount Gay Eclipse Silver

Another hotel fridge rum. Found this in my hotel room and gave it a go. If you just want a mixer to get a little alcohol it's not all that bad it has no flavor just alcohol an

Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Coconut

Not for me, not even in a cocktail. Nasty aftertaste that even fruit juice could hide. Edit: OK after attending a party offering other mixed drinks with "coconut rum", I think I just do

Margaritaville Silver

Got this free, wasted my money. Not to say it was bad, but mix this in a LOT of juice.
