Appleton Estate Rare Blend

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

Papas Pilar Dark

Better than Malibu The liquor store that I work for hosted a tasting of the Blue Chair Bay rums. This rum was a great coconut rum, but is just not my style. To sweet mix

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

Plantation 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"

Pyrat XO Reserve

:( 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
