Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

One of the best out there If you are new to rum. I would say this is the best bottle of rum you can start to sip neat. The flavours are smooth caramel, toffee, candied fruit an

Smoke and Oakum's Gunpowder

One hell of a chilli smoke kick I purchased this rum while travelling in New Zealand after tasting it in a local bar. Sitting at 101 proof it is technically an overproof dark rum how

El Dorado 8-year

Good Sipper Works very well as a sipper. Fruity flavours, cinnamon, cardamom and a little bit of earthy notes. Very flavourful and quite fruity on the nose. I cou

Millonario Reserva Especial 15

A sweet sipper This rum is truly a sugar loaded sipper. To some, its sweetness is somewhat overpowering while to others, it's the perfect blend for an introduction t

Kirk and Sweeney 12-year

Decent rum Very nice sipping rum. It has what tastes to me like maple syrup flavour within it. Very little burn. Overall very nice 8/10

Rivers Royal Granadian White 75

Can drink neat It’s 75% abv is seriously overproof. It has a very clean taste with a slight sweet underdone. There is no burn to it and it is incredibly smooth.

Havana Club 7-year

Good versatile rum This rum can hold its own as a sipper neat or on the rocks, in a cocktail or as a base for a mixer. I do prefer it on the rocks. Beautiful earthy flav

Flor de Caña Añejo Oro 4-year

All rounder rum On first taste the rum is quite smooth yet still has a bit of heat to it. The initial body is quite light and slightly watery. There is little flavour

Havana Club Anejo Especial

Great base spirit for cocktails Havana Club Anejo Especial has so many great stand alone qualities. While the ethanol burn is still present as a younger rum it still delivers the tra

Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year

One of my favourite rums It’s got a very woody, earthy flavour with an slight spike of sweet and medium burn on the aftertaste. Not a bad rum to sip as an after dinner drink.

Carta Vieja Anejo

Drink it neat Sipping this in Panama with little ice around it’s a lovely change to the usual on ice rums I’ve tried. Instantly you get a sweet taste followed by a

Abuelo Reserva Superior 7-year

Good not not much better It’s a tasty rum but it’s not far off from the standard abuelo. It’s not much different but is slightly smoother.

Takamaka Bay Dark

Nice but could be better I loved the original takamaka bay spiced however this one seems to hold a bit more of a dull flavour profile. Don't get me wrong, it has a lovely frui

Bacardi Superior

Not the best but not bad. Bacardi in my opinion is the staple for any base cocktail requiring a white rum. In my opinion, the rum does hold slight notes of earthly flavours whi

Takamaka Bay Spiced

One of my first loves I bought this bottle after trying it while out in the Seychelles. On opening the bottle I got assaulted with strong over-ripe fruit, a huge hit of van

Havana Club Anejo Reserva

Not quite a sipping rum It’s possible to sip neat but it’s got quite a strong ethanol taste. Overall 6/10

Eh I’ve had a bunch of this stuff. Not the best but not bad. I’ve had better. Good to mix with

Bacardi Oakheart

Contains Traces of Oak I have to agree with the bottle label that this bottle does in fact contain an oak flavour. The drink is smooth but not as complex as I hoped for (Exp

One Hell of a Kick Another good base spirit for Tiki cocktails where the heat of the rum is blended out with juices and citrus. As a stand a lone it just burns way too m

Sailor Jerry Spiced

Not a bad rum to mix with coke If i'm in the mood to have a few mixed drinks I would not hesitate to grab a bottle of Sailor Jerry spiced. While it's a more mass produced commercial

Appleton Estate V/X

Good mixer I tend to drink my drinks neat but this has a tad more ethanol burn to it than I’d like. Still a good rum but needs a mixer or some ice cubes

Westerhall Superb Light

Decent Mixer Rum Had this neat, quite a decent balanced rum that does quite well in cocktails. On the rocks its a little strong but when blended it really does reinfor

Barrel Jack Overproof

Good lord it’s strong It’s defiently overproof. I sure as hell couldnt palette it by itself. Just pure fire

Good for cocktails bad for drinking It’s nice to use in cocktails but it’s literally sugar. No flavour apart from artificially added coconut. It’s a cheap excuse for rum if at all

Eh On first opening the bottle you get this chocolatey smokey flavour. I had the instant comparison to the Kahlua. On the initial taste you are smacked i

Not a fan I have tried on multiple occasions to sip this neat and with mixers and have always come across this lackluster flavour profile. The rum does have som

Captain Morgan Dark

Bottle of Regret Captain Morgan on a good day is already a horrible mistake. However this bottle takes it to a whole new level. Others have mentioned flavours of burnt

Seco Herrerano By Varela Hermanos

Paint stripper Did not like this one at all. Had acidic taste and had tart aftertaste. Bitter too

Paint Thinner This bottle is pure paint thinner. I get no tones except chemical notes. Would most likely give to an enemy. 2/10

Captain Morgan Spiced

It’s not rum It’s chemical, it’s a spirit based drink. It’s artificial. I don’t classify this and it honestly doesn’t deserve a review

Captain Morgan Cannon Blast

Another crappy experience with the captain I have a preconceived disgust with captain Morgan. This one doesn’t change my view. Artificial flavours, overly sweet chemical tones and no redeeming
