Cubaney Centenario 25-30-Year

Best of The best I have ever had. Dark color, smooth, not so sweet.

Diplomatico 2000

One of the best One of the best rums I have ever tastes. Little bit sweet, a lot of flavours, no after burn. Very nice.

Nice and sweet Very nice in sweet rums. A lot of flavours, nothing bad in it.

Quorhum 30-year

Cheap quality Nice color, very smooth and pleasant taste. One of the best rums I have ever had. It is not cheap as the title says, but for this quality it should be

Opthimus 25-year

Smooth Very nice and smooth with a hint of pleasant afterburn.

Centenario 30-year

Expensive For it's price I have expected something better. Don't get me wrong, it is very nice. Little bit too sweet. But you can buy same quality for half pric

Ron Esclavo XO Cask

Interesting It is very different than other rums. It is very sweet, lot of raisins. But with the 65% alcohol, it is balanced. If you have the option, at least try

Diplomatico 2004

Smooth and delicate Diplomatico single vintages are always a good choice regardless what vintage you choose.

Sweet Really sweet, but nice flavours. Good to drink....

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Very nice Very nice, complex flavour. Need some time to breathe imho.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Coffee, caramel Sweet, dark colour, taste of coffee and caramel. Nice stuff.

Atlantico Private Cask

Drink immediatly First time after opening it was nice. Second time after some time, there is some bad taste... So drink it quickly.

Nice Very sweet, but still quite strong. Need some time to breathe though.

Opthimus 18-year

Better than 15y Much better than 15, little bit sweeter and smoothier.

Malecon Reserva Imperial 25-year

Much better Much better than 15 and 21y. It has some flavours.

Kakadu Elixir de Banana

One of the best from sweet rums I am not a fan of sweet rums (or drinks generally), but this one is really really nice. The taste of (actually real) bananas is awesome. No artificial

Presidente 23-year

Nice Sweet but nice, similar to diplomatico 12, but not so sweet.

Presidente 15-year

nice surprise Not as sweet as 23yo, but warm in the mouth and very nice flavour.

8.5 Very dark color, nice aroma and taste, but tail is strong and alcoholic. A little bit smoothness would move it to the top.

Abuelo XV Tawny Port Cask Finish

Port Nice stuff, medium sweet.The taste of port is little bit disturbing (for me), since it is not typical rum. The price is high, but reasonable.

El Dorado 21-year

Overpriced This is actually very nice rum, but could be smoother for this price.

Vizcaya VXOP 21

Better than 12 I have tasted this some time ago, but what I remember: Smoother than 12 yo. Very good stuff. Can recommend this one.

Foursquare 2004 Zinfandel Cask Blend 11-year

Zinfandel I really dont like this style, but this one is surprisingly good.

Sweet and strong It is very sweet, but quite strong alcoholic flavour. Maybe it needs more time to breathe...

Kirk and Sweeney 18-year

Vanilla You can smell a lot of vanilla. In fact smell is better than taste. In taste it is little bit harsh.

Malteco 1987 Seleccion

Overpriced It has nice color, it is semi-sweet, alcoholic, not as balanced as I expected for it´s price. You can find same quality or better for half the price.

Centenario 20-year

Sweet elegance It is very sweet and smooth. Easy to drink. If you prefer sweeter rums, you can't miss this.

Ron Maja 8-year

Special edition The special edition is surprisingly good for 8 years. Normal edition is said to be poor though.

Foursquare 2008 12-year

Strong but OK For me it is too strong, but surprisingly not as bad.

Santa Teresa 1796

Surprisingly good Nit expexting much, but I was surprised how good it is. Really smooth, easy to drink.

Dos Maderas Seleccion

Good seleccion This rum is pretty solid, not so smooth as other rums, but still enjoyable.

Austrian Empire Reserva 1863

Good Little bit too much alcohol, but it is definitely interesting.

Blue Mauritius Gold

Good enough Quite good. Little bulit harsh, but complex and full of flavours.

Punta Cana Esplendido

Ok Pretty ok-ish, little bit sweet, taste is average.

A. H. Riise Non Plus Ultra Very Rare

Quite OK I don't like his rhums, but this one is ok. Little bit sweet, but not too much.

Quorhum 15-year

Easy to drink Good combination of sweetness and flavour. Very drinkable. Can go maybe 8, but after another tasting.

Zafra Master Reserve 21

will rate later Not bad, but has to breathe. I will have to taste it later and rate then.

El Dorado 12-year

Easy to drink Very nice, little bit sweet but not that much. I really enjoy it.

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year

Disappointed After tasting 12yo I tries this one. But it is sharp and not very good. After letting it breath it is better, but still...

Ron Zacapa Etiqueta Negra

Still good Much better than 23 solera, but has high alcohol finish. Good smell and taste but for the finish 1 point down.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 23-year

Good but simple Nothing bad in this rum, but it is quite simple and plain.

Quorhum 23-year

Quite strong I have an old bottle at home, so maybe it is not as good. It is quite strong alcoholic. The 15yo was better to me a little bit.

Vizcaya Cask 12

Reasonable Quite nice rum, price is reasonable. Little bit too harsh, but this is normal in this price range. Can recommend this.

Santos Dumont XO

liitle bit sweet Nice flavour. Smells like sweat horse or something, not really unpleasant. Tastes little bit sweet. Nothing exceptional but good.

Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Interesting The pineapple taste is nice, very interesting, almost no afterburn.

Millonario Reserva Especial 15

Nice I am quite sceptic about sweet rums, but this is really nice.

Punta Cana 15-year

Vanilla A lot of vanilla, smooth, little bit sweet. Very nice, easy to drink.

Baoruco 21-year

Smooth sweets Quite smooth, little bit dry, but tastes like sweets? Nice.

Cubaney Gran Reserva 25-year

Smooth This rum is very smooth, but it lacks complexity. It is quite flat with no interesting flavour. Thats a pitty for such rum...

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

My starting rum This is what I start my rum journey with. I dont remember it quite well, but it was easy to drink. There are better rums, but this doesnt offend you.

Arcane Extraroma 12-year

Bananas in chocolate I had this some time ago, but remember it had very strong banana and chocolate aroma and taste. It was sweet. Nice, but very different from other swee

Diplomatico Añejo

Nice It is not the best rum, but for it's price it is amazing. If you are looking for a cheap rum, try this one. You won't be disappointed.

Oliver's Exquisito 1990 Solera

1990 It is sweet and alcoholic, but somehow unbalanced. It is not as smooth as you would expect in such an old rum. Save some money and buy the 1995, it is

Ron Esclavo 15-year

Better than 12 It is much better than 12y, even after opening. Not so alcoholic, much smoother.

Oliver's Exquisito 1995 Solera

7.5 It is quite nice. Better than average. Quality from Oliver.

Rum Nation Barbados XO Anniversary Edition

Better than average It is quite nice, better than average, but nothing special. Quite smooth, but can have more flavours.

Abuelo Gran Reserva 12-year

Better than average It is nothing special, but doesn´t offend you. Quite sweet in smell and taste. Easy to drink.

Nice smell It has nice unique smell, taste is average, good sweetness and fruitness - bananas.

Ordinary Quite ordinary, not a bad one, but nothing special.

Preety good I was surprised how good it is, even though it's from Mexico. Not top tier, but good enough.

Cubaney Gran Reserva 15-year

Solid rum Pretty ok, go-to rum, easy to drink. Nothing bad, nothing special.

Average Pretty average, nothing special. I am not much into spiced.

Austrian Empire Anniversary

Something missing Quite smooth, but missing some body. Not really bad, but no so interesting.

Professore Caribbean

Quite surprise I was expecting to drink this only with cola for that price, but it is not so bad. Little bit sweet. If you are looking for some cheap rum, try this..

Austrian Empire Double Cask Oloroso

Strong Really strong alcohol burn, warm finish. Nit so bad, but too much alcohol.

Lazy Dodo Single Estate

Not impressive Quite dry, fruity, smells like red wine. Not really impressive.

Jaguar Edicion Cordillera

OK Quite OK, not bad, but I would rather drink something else...

Emperor Royal Spiced

Vanilla A lot of vanilla, but nothing else. It needs some more flavor...

Not worth For 23-year old I was expecting much more. Some strange flavor inside.

Opthimus 15-year

Sweet whiskey Tastes a little bit like whisky, but with sugar, which makes it better.

Dry but good Quite dry and strong, but taste is good. If you like dry rums, this could be for you.

Centenario Anejo Especial

Not bad I would say it is quite good. No bad smell or taste. In this price category very good. If you are looking for something cheap, try this one. But dont

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Commercial This rum was nice, but in past few yeara it has become too commercial and quality went down. Still for its price it is not bad.

Malecon Reserva Superior 15-year

Easy to drink Quite good, little bit simple, but easy to drink..

Malecon 21-year

Same as 15y It is like 15y version. Not really bad but plain and simple.

Legendario Elixir de Cuba 7-year

Strong flavours As others wrote, very sweet, taste of raisins, but the flavour is too powerful for me. But the aftertaste is great. You can feel it in mouth for a lon

Diplomatico Mantuano

Still sharp It still has an intense alcohol flavour. Probably it needs some time to settle down a bit. But in this price range it is reasonable.

A. H. Riise 1888 Copenhagen Gold Medal

Not my style Not really my style, sweet and fruity. But not bad if you dont mind this.

Barcelo Imperial

not really bad For those who knows, it is similar like Margot chocolate. Not really bad, but not extraordinary.

Dictador Solera Ultra Premium Reserve 12-year

Wallnuts I can smell and taste wallnuts, it is everywhere. Quite good, but not really my style.

Captain Morgan Private Stock

still Morgan It is reasonable, but still Morgan. Can not beat real rums.

Mount Gay 1703 Old Cask

Dry and sharp Very dry and sharp. It is little bit like agricole, but not too much. For this price it should be better. Disappointed.

Malteco 10-year

Drinkable Low cost rum, that is drinkable on its own. Why not?

Saint James 2000 6-year

Not my style This is slightly better than other Saint James rums, but it still has that typical smell.

Santiago de Cuba Anejo

Didn't impress I had this one a long time ago, but it did not impress me very much. For this price it is probably good.

Centenario 12-year

Centenarios I had a tasting of 7y, 9y, 12y and anejo special. The best was 12y and anejo special. 7y and 9y were behind. But these are not exceptional. 12y and an

Quorhum 12-year

Good brand Quorhum is a good brand. This is their lowest rum and you can recognize it. It is better to pay more for older version.

Ron Esclavo 12-year

Need time After opening it is little bit alcoholic. Probably it needs some time to breathe, but for now it is 6.

Mulata Anejo 15-year

Dry I don't like dry rums, but this one is not so bad...

Companero Trinidad Elixir Orange

Sweet burn Very sweet orange flavour, but still burning alcohol...

Old Man Spirits Rum Project One

Coconuts The coconut taste is good, but the rum is more sharp than sweet. Not my cup of a tea, there are better ones.

Flor de Caña 18-year

Burning It is quite burning with alcohol, too much for 18 yo imho.

Good aftertaste From the start it's little bit empty, but the aftertaste is interesting.

Wild Tiger Special Reserve

Smell is great Really interesting on nose, but taste is really wierd.

Not a sipper Little bit harsh and artificial taste. Not good as a sipper, maybe with a coke...

Ron Panama 1914 Edicion Gatun

Not very good This is little bit below average. I would not dring it again

Atlantico Reserva

Not smooth Quite strong alcohol burn, not very smooth. Overpriced.

Abuelo Reserva Superior 7-year

Whisky style It really taste like whisky, which is not my style, but not bad. If you like whisky, go for it.

Quite strong Quite strong, not sweet as others say. Probably not same every vintage.

Strong Very strong alcoholic flavour. Quite harsh. Nothing to recommend for, maybe for price.

Conde de Cuba Elixir del Caribe

Sirup In smell there is something like glue?? The taste is very sweet like sirup. Not really bad if you are looking for sweet liquer, but you can find bette

Mulata Anejo 7-year

Dry smoked Quite dry, little bit smoked like whisky. For the price... Maybe mixed with coke...

Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Sweet Very sweet, little bit sharp. Raisins in taste. Little bit chemical.

Matusalem Clasico 10-year

Not alone After drinking 15yo, I wanted to try the cheaper version, but it is much worse. Maybe for mixing, but if you want it neat, go for 15yo.

Centenario 7-year

Centenarios I had a tasting of 7y, 9y, 12y and anejo special. The best was 12y and anejo special. 7y and 9y were behind. But these are not exceptional. 12y and an

Pampero Especial

Low end Quite harsh. It is low end rum, so dont expect much. But you can still find better.

Atlantico Platino

Not for solo For solo drink it is not so great. But maybe for some drinks....

Ultimatum Selected 8-year

Not good Not really my cup of tea, I prefer different type of rums.

Don Papa Small Batch

Spiced? Sweet with something added. I can imagine that someone will like it, but not my cup of tea.

Clement Cuvee Homere 6-year

Not a fan It is not my cup of tea. I am probably not a fan of agricole rum.

Saint James Reserve 2-year

Not my style This is more like agricole rums, which I dislike, si this was really hard for me to drink.

Saint James Heritage 1-year

Not my style This is more like agricole rums, which I dislike, so this was really hard for me to drink.
