Redone Review great Taking a second go at this bottle last night and I think I overlooked some of the flavors in this rum. This rum dances in you mouth with flavors only

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-year

Extremely smooth, both in the bottle and on the wallet! The color of this rum was a glowing amber. Possibility my favorite 12 year rum, and Appleton Estate has produced the best Jamaican rums I've tasted.

Pampero Aniversario

Great Blend The Pampero Aniversario is a dark rich amber colored rum with a wonderful smell that opened my noise up. I don't remember the exact smell of the rum,

Captain Morgan Private Stock

Mildly Complex -- Great for the price I have put off trying this rum for a long time just because of the brand Captain Morgan, I have never purchased a rum from this brand that I enjoyed.

You get more than what you pay for I bought the half gallon (1.75ml) for $22.99 last week because why not. This is a product that has been on my to drink list for some time now and at t

Is it worth $100.00 Without a doubt this is a exquisite rum with notes of spicy toffee and vanilla and light fruits. I love this rum, I love the glass I had, but I cannot

Plantation 2001 Trinidad

Dosn't taste like a Jamacin Rum I love Jamaican Rums, and This Plantation was the rum that made me look further into the Jamaican Rums. However, this rum didn't taste like I remember

My Cheap Rum This is my favorite cheap rum. Far better than Captain Morgan, Pirate Bay, Burnets, and Bacardi. The 5/10 says it all, "Easily consumable in a bind"

:( I wish I could say that I love this rum and that it was great, but it wasn't. Selling for around $30.00 this rum is overpriced artificial sugary rum.

Trader Vics Gold

Better than the Silver We tasted cheap rums today the liquor store I work at and all I can say is that it is better then the silver.

I wil never drink it agian What can I say, if you pour enough coke in it it tastes like coke. My years of cheap drinks at the bars are hopeful long gone. If you want to get a ch
