Mount Gay XO Extra Old

My first rum is a good one As the title says, this is my first sipping rum. I've only had rum in mixed drinks and decided that it's time for me to grow up and have some big boy

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Much better than standard Captain Wanted to give a different spiced rum a shot. Private stock came recommended do picked up a bottle. Glad I did, it's much better than original Captain

Very tasty Aroma is fantastic! I'm still fairly new to rum, but this is a good one. I taste a little vanilla and the tiniest touch of smoke. I will get this agai

Good rum from a local distillery I have been watching Blackwater for couple of years but haven't seen it in the store. So when I saw it on a local shelf, I had to try it. Thankfully,

George Ocean Coffee

Very tasty Like one of the other reviews said, a lot of the folks on here won't like it. But this is very tasty. It's only 21%, so is easy to drink straight. But

Pusser's Overproof

Nice Buttery aroma. A little alcohol bite. A great mixer. Fantastic painkiller. Not sure it's a sipper.

Appleton Estate

Yum My bottle is labeled 12 year rare casks. Great taste and not too sweet. Bought this to make Mai Tais, but could see myself sipping this regularly

Ypioca Chrystal

My first cachaca, won't be my last I picked this up because I saw Fogo de Chao making a Caipirinha and it looked good. My local store had this and another brand. I grabbed the clear an

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Pretty sweet Makes a fantastic MaiTai when paired with Appleton Estates and Pierre Ferrand Curacao. but not a great sipper. Too sweet and based on the other review

Kraken Black Spiced

Nice spice Outstanding in a dark and stormy. I decided to try it straight. Not bad. Had a bit of a cola taste to me. I probably won't drink it straight again, bu

A decent rum that makes a great mixer I get very little aroma on this one. A little vanilla on the tongue. Very little burn. Finishes with little after taste. I will likely keep this add

About what I expected I picked this one up because I had tried the Cruzan White a little while ago. I'm pretty happy with both the white and this dark aged rum. It's noth

love that bottle I've seen this rum mentioned a lot lately. I decided it was time to give it a try. Outstanding bottle design. Fruity atoms. Tastes like... Well... R

What a bargain I've been keeping an eye on this rum for a while. It's bargain priced and the BTI rates it at 93. I had to give it a shot. It has a beautiful, dark

Gosling's Black Seal

Great mixer I've been drinking the dark and stormy for years. I decided to taste the rum neat. Aroma is pretty medicinal. Strong nutmeg, allspice and clove ta

Jonah's Curse Black Spiced

Nice spice Wonderful spice taste. Nice bit of bite. This makes a wonderful rum & Coke.

Brinley Gold Mango

Very sweet Wonderful aroma of mango. No burn. But extremely sweet and think like schnapps. Will mix well, but can't drink it straight.

Bacardi Oakheart

Great spiced rum Strong alcohol smell, so I wasn't expecting much. Nice rum taste with spice that does not overpower the rum itself. I do get a lot of molasses. A p

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

Good mixer I'm still pretty new to rum and this is a friend's go to drink. Strong vanilla taste with a little spice. Best in Coke, at least to me.

Seacrets Spiced

Very spiced Figured I would try a fairly local rum, so figured Seacret is pretty local. Very highly spiced. Strong nutmeg, clove and cinnamon. Probably makes a gr

Bacardi Superior

Not deserving of the bad rating I don't get all the negative ratings. Would you make a Mojito with Mount Gay? Probably not. Would I sip Bacardi Superior? Nope. You use what is approp

Appleton Estate V/X

Pretty good I'm still fairly new to rum, but I've had a fair share recently. To me, this is a bit harsh on the finish. I get some caramel notes and not much vanil

Not very mango Very slight mango. But pretty smooth. No bite in the end. Might mix, but not if mango is supposed to be the star.

Not what I was hoping for I'm still fairly new to rum, but have discovered that there is MUCH better rum than Bacardi. My favorite budget rum to mix is Cruzan. I was out of m

Don Q 151 Overproof

Wow that burns I got this to make an allspice dram. It made that well, but I like to try any ingredients that I use. It is exactly as I expected. A bit of a run tas

Vanilla medicine That's what I get from this, vanilla and alcohol. From the smell to the mouth feel, to the taste. All I get is alcohol and vanilla.

Parrot Bay Mango

Not good The wife loves this stuff mixed into her own concoction of cranberry juice and Sprite. I decided to try it on the rocks. Not good for drinking like
