Rum Ratings and Reviews

Brugal 1888 Double Aged Rum Lantern

Henry 4/9/24

I grew up drinking this brand Extra Viejo Rum from the tender age of 15 in the Dominican Republic. This at the time was their best rum and now Brugal 1888 Double Aged Rum picks up where that Rum left off!! Now in my mid fifties I enjoy this rum here in South Florida away from my Santiago but it still taste awesome reminds me of my home and family and all the friends that I enjoyed a drink of Brugal with, this is differently a must buy!!

Angostura 7 Year Old Rum

Nice mouthfeel, very smooth.

Loved it !! Will purchase again !!

Breckenridge Spiced Rum

I've bought several bottles over time.

HSE Rhum Agricole Extra Vieux Sauternes Cask Finish 2005

This was a bit of a letdown. I am an Agricole rhum fan, but I think perhaps the Sauternes influence was too much.

Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced Rum

It passed the Tastebud test

I found this rum, very agreeable; smooth, spiced, sweet and enjoyable. My friends thought so also.
A good rum for those who don’t like “strong” tasting spirits.

Kraken Black Roast Coffee Rum Limited Edition

Amazing by itself or with extra coffee, icecream, milkshakes

Ron Zacapa Centenario Gran Reserva Sistema Solera 23 Rum

Best Rum I have ever had. There is a large story to where this is made and aged for so long. Well worth the price tag. So many beautiful flavors and the smoothest rum I have ever had. Simply mind blowing

Sugarlands Mark and Digger's Hazelnut Rum Legends Series

Nelson C 12/21/23

I've bought it twice and I plan on buying it again soon!

Matusalem 10 Year Old Clásico Rum

perfect addition to store bought eggnog - as good as homemade cheers!

Ron Colón Salvadoreño Red Banana Oleo Rum

This is my new go-to for daiquiris! Banana daiquiri... yes, please. Also great as a rum and coke (or root beer or cream soda!) This is 81 proof so it is a true rum and not a liqueur. Sweetened just enough.

Don Papa Small Batch Rum

Brugal 1888 Double Aged Rum

Smooth and flavorful without a hint of aftertaste. No bite at the back of the throat as I have experienced with other rums. Perfect in my rum and Dr Pepper, but amazing by itself over ice (which is a first for me).

Lyre’s Dark Cane Non-Alcoholic Dark Rum

No rum flavor, no body.

I was excited to try this to add more room flavor to my drinks without adding more etoh to my drinks.
This had no rum flavor. If anything, it had a weak raisin/port after taste.
I was very disappointed.

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva Rum

Diplomático is all I drink

This particular bottle is really good. It’s smooth and it’s got a sort of intricate flavor. Kinda hard to describe, I just know it’s good and the price at under $40 is fantastic.

Copalli White Organic Rum

tastes like chachaca, not rum, VERY strong, no sweet, not smooth, can't drink it

Myrtle Bank Shannon Mustipher’s Tiki Blend Jamaican Rum

Rum Diaries 8/23/23

Myrtle Bank is a gem and rare expression of additive free rum. I have an extensive collection of spirits but have had a difficult time finding rum without additives and added sweeteners, such as caramel and fructose corn syrup.

I was introduced to Shannon Mustipher’s Tiki Blend at an event and had to order a bottle. It was extremely pleased with the profile for tropical cocktails like original Trader Vic’s mai or old Cuban daiquiri. Hints of pineapple, banana, citrus notes and tropical fruits.

Pyrat XO Reserve Rum

This was interesting. It seems to be a mix of rum and a citrus liqour. Sweet citrus and honey flavors. Good sipper and mixer.

Chairman's Reserve Finest St. Lucia Rum

This Rum is a little spicy as a sipper for me. Great mixer better than Bacardi.
I think it would be a good hot toddy mixer in the winter to warm you up.

Renegade Rum Company Westerhall Grenada Rum

This is my gold standard of how a rum should taste. It's basically like Dictador with a fuller flavor that fully matches the nose.

Ron Izalco 10 Year Old

Pricey but delicious!

I find it's fantastic! Slightly smokey with the tobacco and sweet aftertaste....it's a wonderful sipping rum

Hamilton 86 Demerara River Rum

Not as sweet as you think

This Rum is thick on the tongue. Sweet notes with a smokey side to it. A short finish that warms your chest. A good sipper but definitely a great mixer like a dark and stormy.

Island Company Rum

This is a nice, light rum. Great on the rocks or straight.

Ron del Barrilito Three Stars Rum

I was introduced to this rum on a trip to Ponce PR. It was love at first sip. This is a wonderful sipping rum. Well worth the price. The taste of the oak sure comes through.
In my opinion it's the best thing to come out of Puerto Rico! Well, except my wife because I have to say that.

Don Papa Small Batch Rum

This Rum is a must have in any bar or home. Perfect sipper, great on the rocks. Wonderful flavors with ginger ale. Already placed in my next order.
This is by far my favorite rum to date. For the price I don't think anyone could go wrong buying this or bring to a party. Just Perfect ! ☆☆☆☆☆

El Dorado 12 Year Old Rum

New to drinking Rum neat. Great flavor with first taste, alittle hot on the back end. Added some ice and it mellowed right out, very nice. Finished that round then tried it with ginger ale. Excellent mixed. Will buy again. Can see this being a favorite to share with friends.

Island Company Rum

Love this rum. So smooth and delicious tasting. Discovered in Grand Cayman. Perfect to sip.
Enjoy!

Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Dark Pineapple Rum

Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum

Best rum I have ever tasted. I buy it for special occasions.

The flavor of this rum puts all others to shame! It’s simply the best!

Bumbu The Original Rum

Not good definitely original

This rum tastes like banana laffy taffy. It’s a bad artificial taste that isn’t explained in its origin or story but possibly by the low proof. Barbados should distance itself from this syrupy banana liquor. This will make your Coca Cola taste bad.

Pusser's Gunpowder Proof Rum

We have been Pusser’s lovers for over 30 years. Can only get Blue Label locally. She really enjoyed it.

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Spiced Rum

Solid Loveletter To a classic game!

Great bottle design and flavor. A little pricey but a good experience for assassins creed fans.

Sugarlands Mark and Digger's Hazelnut Rum Legends Series

Let this shine fill your mouth with the surprisingly
sweet tadte of hazelnuts! Just a little burn and an aftertaste that echoes the first hit of hazelnut! A fine shine!

Ron Colón Salvadoreño High Proof Dark Aged Rum

Very smooth for a high alcohol rum

Really smooth, I love it in my dark and stormy.

Bumbu XO Rum

A beautiful, smooth rum. Love, love, love it.

Coconut Cartel Rum

This is by far my favorite rum the purchase of this rum makes me so happy everytime! Smooth taste

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva Rum

This is my regular go to drink. Absolutely love it's flavor and taste once poured over the rocks.

Island Company Rum

I dont know why its taken me so long to find at last the single most beautifully smooth rum on the planet but damn am I glad that I have at last.

i have always loved rum. when I was younger I first found captain morgans and eventually stepped up to Barbancourt and Mount Gay occasionally.

My heart sings with gladness for those brands as they are great, but for where I am in my life island company rum just is another level compared to everything else. This is it. Full Stop. The last rum I will ever drink.

its so damn good the only thing I think about when drinking it is how good it is - how smooth it is - how clean it is.

its bottled magic. seriously.

i was on the fence about posting this review at all; the way I feel about Island Company Rum the same way I feel about a band I just discovered that is AMAZING that I know will blow up and right now I kind of want to keep that a secret for a minute.

Like that band, island company rum just hasn't quite yet been discovered by everyone else and I kind of want that secret to keep just a bit longer....

Island Company Rum is the solution to the rum problem you didnt know you had.

hyperbole notwithstanding, its that damn good.

Island Company Rum

I have been a strict tequila and vodka gal until discovering Island Company Rum! Not only is it super rich, smooth and delicious, it’s practically calorie free! I’ve parlayed most of my cocktails into Island Company cocktails with the best results! But just a little glass with an orange twist, divine! You’ll be a convert and Island Company disciple after you’ve tried it once!

Island Company Rum

I am an avid traveler to the Bahamas and the Caribbean and love trying new rums. I ran across this rum while I was up in the Palm Beach area and was blown away by the smoothness and flavor it had. Will be keeping her around the house from now on!

SelvaRey Coconut Rum

Fantastic upgrade to malibu

Such a great find! Great in my pina coladas or just with pineapple... So much cleaner and better quality than other coconut rums

Myrtle Bank 10 Year Old Jamaican Rum

Angel Share 6/21/22

Absolutely love Myrlte Bank Rum.

Dos Maderas PX 5+5 Rum

NOLA Sipper 6/5/22

Smooth, Tasty, and Sweet

This was a pleasant surprise to say the least. It was reasonably priced and looked of a decent quality. The initial sip has a hint of dark chocolate, then caramel, and finally sweet cherry. I have been hooked since the first sip. This will always be a bottle in my collection.

Angostura 7 Year Old Rum

Sbuckhorn 4/25/22

Good value but not top shelf. I’d buy it again in the o

El Dorado 8 Year Old Rum

Sbuckhorn 4/23/22

I bought a couple different brands of rum in my last order and this the best of the batch. Good flavor and kick also a good value. I’d buy it again but not over certain other brands.

Sugarlands Mark and Digger's Hazelnut Rum Legends Series

Wonderful taste. I enjoy on coffee in the morning or on ice as a nightcap!!

Brugal 1888 Double Aged Rum

I have not tryed the Rum yet but every thing I buy from Casker taste great! Dave

Bacardi Black Rum

Great flavor mixed or just over ice,with the deep molasses flavor you expect in a dark rum .shipping problems and delays were the only negative in this purchase

Ron Colón Salvadoreño Coffee Infused Rum Green Label

Rhonnfred 2/14/22

Smooth and good undertones

Very smooth but complex flavors of chocolate, coffee and spices. I add this to my coffee and use to make a batch of homemade vanilla. Soooo good.

Zaya Cocobana Rum

The color and taste takes me back to the original Zaya that had the white bamboo trim on the neck of the bottle. Overall a GREAT buy and will be a repeat purchase.

Zaya Alta Fuerza Rum

Good sipping rum with a bit of a kick.

Color is a lighter golden shade to the original Zaya GRAN RESERVA. Taste is Sugar cane sweet instead of molasses sweet. And the backend has a little heat going down, but not harsh. Overall a good buy and will be a repeat purchase.

The Real McCoy 5 Year Old Rum

I am not a terribly sophisticated reviewer. I can't tell you that it has hints of this or notes of that but I can say that this is the best tasting rum I've ever had. Actually, all of the Real Mccoy rums have been the best that I've ever tasted. And as for Caskers, the customer service is outstanding.
