Plantation Extra Old XO 20th Anniversary
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Delicious and a lot of tropical fruit. Vanilla is coming through in this one and it sticks for a while.A super rum to sit and sip with your friends.A very good beginners rum in my mind,"
Diplomático / Botucal Reserva Exclusiva
Top review from Oliver:
"With this rum, many have discovered their love for rum. By the sweetness and complaisance the ideal entry. Meanwhile, however, it is clearly too sweet and one-dimensional for me. Nevertheless, a recommendation for all who want to collect their first steps in the pure enjoyment of spirits."
Ron Zacapa Solera Centenario 23
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a very well balanced rum from Zacapa and I like is a lot especially considering the price tag. The nose is heavy with spice and sweetness and a touch of orange zest and chocolate. The palate is well rounded with caramel, honey and chocolate topped of with burnt oak and overripe fruits. It has a long, sweet and fruity finish with burnt oak. I'd say this one is better than the bottling from the late 90s and early 00s that won medals. Price to quality is very good. "
Pampero Aniversario
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Tried to use this rum in a rum/raisin cake and the result was amazing. This is a rum in the cheaper end of the spectrum and it's definitely a good beginner rum. Not as sweet as the rums from Riise, but getting close to it. The nose is light and sweet with chocolate, vanilla and oak with a touch of butterscotch. The palate is sweet with chokolate and nougat, but it also has a slight bitterness with nuts and fruits. The endof the palate has smoke to it. The finish is sweet with smoky leather and vanilla. Price to quality is very good."
Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaican Rum
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"If you should have just one Navy strength rum in your bar, this is the one. The nose is complex with aromas of esters, fruits and spices. At the palate it’s complex and funky with flavors of esters, fruits and spices. The finish is quite long and dry."
Dictador 12 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the first one of the six. Despite this one being a young rum from the destillery it still manages to be very complex with a very nice nose and palate. The vanilla is perfectly matched with the rest and the finish is long and has a bit of smoke to it. All in all a very good price tag for this bottle. This bottle won gold at the International Rum Expert Panel 2010."
Plantation Isle of Fiji
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall is the nose unpleasant, palate better than expected and too short finish. The nose is fruity, spicy and smoky with additional smells of glue, alcohol and vanilla. At the palate it tastes like the nose indicated except for alcohol and glue, instead it’s very sweet."
Ron Barceló Imperial
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. In my mind this rum will be too sweet for many, but a good rum none the less. The complexity is hidden under the sweetness and in my mind it should have been amped up with a little more proof. Price tag is really good compared to what you get. "
Flor de Caña 12 Años
Top review from Leo Tomczak:
"Tangy hazelnut liqueur with a slightly burning finish. Certainly sweetened, colored and flavored to spice up the neutral alcohol. Let's see how it performs in cola. It performs as expected in cola, although there's not much you can do wrong. Therefore a slight upgrade to 30. Nice and unobtrusive with ginger beer."
Companero Ron Panama Extra Anejo
Top review from Tim :
"Dieser Rum ist etwas besonderes! 12 Jahre im Bourbon-Fass mit einem Finish in Fässern, die mit Kakao gefüllt waren, weshalb man hier die voll Drönung Schokolade bekommt. Etwas alkoholische Schärfe leider ist auch mit dabei."
Centenario Fundación 20 Años Reserva Especial
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"I think this is a very under rated rum. It's in the cheaper end yet its complexity is very convincing. A wonderful sweet, fruity and spice nose going into a complex well balanced heavy palate. The finish is long, a bit sweet and has a nice peppery sting to it. Price to quality is very good. "
Plantation 3 Stars White
Top review from Decky Hicks Doughty:
"The nose is vanilla forward. Quite a lot of esters and a subtle citrus and white chocolate note. The palate has the vanilla from the nose but it's more mineral and less fruity. Some exotic woods. The finish is quite short. Vanilla and toasted coconut mainly. Overall its a decent white rum. I'm not too much of a fan of this mixed but it's very reasonably priced and not bad neat."
Canerock
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Retasting this one and would have loved to try it at a higher ABV. Well price to quality is an absolute hammer. You get a lot for your money here. I was pleasantly surprised by this bottle. The nose is complex and well rounded with fruit, and spices trailed by chocolate, coffee and caramel. Try and leave the empty glass for a few hours and then whif it again :-) The palate is sweet and fruity with wood, spices and caramel. The finish is medium long and sweet with wood, spices and a light minty note."
Millonario Solera XO
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Retasting this one as a dessert rum and it does well at that. This is a very sweet rum in my mind and you could use it for dessert actually. Again a solera blend of rums aging from 15 to 20 years."
Botran Ron Añejo Reserva 15 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This rum people can only agree to disagree on. Sipping it i feel like being on an island in Greece. This is a rum on the cheaper end of the spectrum, so considering the price you get a good rum. Probably a good rum for beginners. The nose is sweet and has fruit and herbs to it with a touch of wood. The palate lacks complexity but is sweet with fruits and vanilla and a tad of burnt barrel. The finish is medium and once again the vanilla is dominant with a nice plum on the side. Price to quality is very good. "
The Demon’s Share La Reserva Del Diablo
Top review from Timo Groeger:
"Not necessarily much worse than the 12 year old. It has vanilla and caramel on the nose and palate. It also tastes relatively sweet. But within limits. Hardly any difference to the 12 year old."
Lazy Dodo Single Estate
Top review from Gregor :
"Angenehmer Einsteiger. Viel dörrpflaume und auch andere trockenfrüchte. Generell ein sehr schöner Holzeinfluss. Leider für mich ein wenig zu viel süße. Ein sehr schöner Übergangsrum um von den total süßen Einsteigern sich an die trockenen Varianten heranzutasten"
Veritas Blended Rum
Top review from Agricoler:
"Also highly recommended neat for the price - an absolute cracker. Really nice banana and green fruit on the nose. Top mixer that I always have a bottle of at home. The best in white from Jamaica and Barbados combined."
VSOP
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Just like the XO it’s more or less a perfect entry to a tour in the Agricole world. Tasted this one at a rum cruise when it was included at Ian Burrell’s “Blindtaste” Master class. It was quite easy to get it right, cause it was the only Agricole included. The picture shows the included rums at the blindtaste."
Angostura 1919
Top review from Leo Tomczak:
"Amazingly good. Nose full of Trinidad. Very light taste, of course. I think it's only moderately suitable for beginners, as you'd expect something pleasantly sweet in this price segment. The TDL aromas come through well, almost herbal/tar. I am very positively surprised."
Cinabrio Ron 12 Años
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"very nice play of orange peel, tangerine & toffee, clearly better than the old 12 cihuatan. apparently not only the design but also the recipe has been improved again here.👌🏽 overall, however, it is a bit woody and one-dimensional but nicely orangey. I find the indigo better in terms of plv."
English Harbour 5 Years
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The molasses comes from Dom. Rep. and Guyana. After distillation it’s aged in former bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels between five and eight years before blended and bottled. In my opinion is this an outstanding everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account."
Ron Barceló Imperial Onyx
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club. It’s OK, but nothing more. Don’t know if there’s any added sugar, but there’s a certain sweetness. Could maybe be something for those who want to taste something less sweet than DRE or Zacapa 23."
Rhum vieux Réserve du Domaine
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Surprisingly good, better than expected. The nose is fruity and spicy with additional aroma of leather. At the palate it’s very spicy and intense but also woody and with additional flavor of leather and licorice."
Gran Reserva Solera 23 Años
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"They have added this big brother to the 15 year old and it's much better. They're still not there yet though they hav managed to make this one heavier in the taste. I think the idea with this version was to try and challenge Zacapa and El Dorado, but they still have some way to go. For the price though, this is a good rum. "
Ron Zacapa Edición Negra
Top review from Tim :
"Very similar to the normal Zacapa on the nose (caramel, fruit), except that smoky and toasty flavors are more represented. In the mouth, the smoke and tobacco then comes through very strongly, which is why drinking becomes a spicy experience. Must like, I do not find it all too good. Price much too expensive! Positive to mention are in any case the chocolate and roasted flavors, which are very pleasant in combination with caramel."
15 Years Black River Casks
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This new release is more on the roasted side than the other ones. Lightly fruity with vanilla and wonderful caramel. On the palate there is wonderful roasted wood and I find it nice and round with and oily feel on the tongue. Price to quality is very good in my mind."
Clairin Communal Blend des Quatres Communes
Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"Nice white rum! Great to drink mixed and neat. Price under 30 euros make it a great choice! Less aggresive than the other clairins it is probably the most lovable along with Sajous."
White Overproof
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"One of the epic rum mixers, that was used by Victor Bergeron when he created Mai Tai back in 1944. The nose is mostly fruity and spicy. At the palate the fruitiness dominates with flavors of citrus, banana and pineapple. The finish has a certain sweetness and a long spiciness."
Jamaica XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The Navy Island Jamaican Rum XO is a blend of pot and column still rums from Worthy Park, Hampden and Moneymusk. The rum is named after Navy Island, a small tropical island near the coast of Jamaica once owned by Errol Flynn. It’s matured in ex bourbon casks and bottled at just 40% ABV."
Centenario Fundación 25 Años Gran Reserva
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a medium priced rum and they did pretty well. A very flavourful rum with lots of wooden notes and fruit. Not too sweet, but nicely balanced and medium complexity. Price to quality is very good. "
Zafra Master Reserve 21
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"A wonderful balanced nose a bit woody with vanilla. Leave it for 15 minutes and the flavours come running at you even without putting your nose to the glass. The palate shows a well rounded full body rum with an extremely long finish. Leaving the glass after you finish will reveal a wonderful woody/spice nose."
Dictador XO Insolent / Platinum
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the fourth one of the six. Another great surprise beating the Perpetual by one point. This rum is almost perfectly balanced in the spice and sweetness and a pretty complex one as well. Like pure silk when it passes down your throat. Price to quality is very good on this one as well. "
5 Stars 8 Years Réserve Spéciale
Top review from cigares :
"A rum tasted at the Lucerne Gin and Rum Festival 2024. A nose of bitter root, like gentian, but also sugar, yellow fruit and a herbaceous side. The palate is very bitter and alcoholic, a gentian spirit? But also with a sweet/honey side. The finish is short, leaving only bitterness in the mouth. To the untrained eye, you'd think it was a slightly sweet root liqueur rather than a rum. That said, it's pleasant on the palate and well made. I like it less than the 4-year-old."
Kaniché Double Wood XO
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is not your typical Barbadian rum because some of the flavours you usually associate with Barbados are missing. A wonderful rum none the less especially if you look at the price. The bottle comes in a nice wooden box with a sliding front which is pretty fancy for a rum in this price range. The nose is sweet and oaky transferring into a soft well rounded palate that has a bit of cognac to it. Price to quality is very good. "
Millonario 10 Anniversario Reserva
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"It’s much too sweet for my taste and without the complexity and balance that my favorites among the sweet Spanish styled have. The nose is dominated by vanilla and sugar as it is at the palate together with toffee."
Don Papa Sherry Cask
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a rum which was finished in 5 different casks. First finish is done in American oak bourbon casks and then 18 months in 4 different sherry casks; Fino, Pedro Ximinez, Cream and Palo Cortado. A very nice long velvety finish. "
Cihuatán XAMAN XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a smooth and pleasant Latino rum. It’s a 16yo rum containing rums aged for 15 years in American oak ex-Bourbon casks, and finished for one year in Mayan Ceiba casks. It’s fruity and smoky with aroma and flavor of vanilla and pistachio."
Abuelo XV Tawny
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is one of the 3 releases of the XV and it's pretty good actually. The nose starts off with a lot of caramel, in a good way, then goes into candied fruits wit some oakiness to it. The palate continues with the fruits and some leather and spices. The Port cask is definitely there and I like it. The finish is medium to long, astringent with vanilla and sweetness to it. Price to quality is good. "
Flor de Caña 7 Años Gran Reserva
Top review from Christian Rudt:
"Flasche hatte mein Bruder im Regal nie probiert also Bitte. Finde die Nase noch am besten hier geht gut Richtung Cognac. Am Gaumen vorwiegend Rum Rosine und etwas dünner Geschmack. Für ne Rum Cola sicher nutzbar."
Ron Esclavo XO 23 Años
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Much too sweet for me! At the nose it’s round with aromas of vanilla, caramel and cocoa. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s sweet and round with flavors of vanilla, caramel and chocolate."
Myers‘s Original Dark
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Bought me some bottles cause I couldn’t find Goslings to a competitive price cause I needed some dark rum to make Dark ‘N’ Stormys during the quite short Swedish summer. Tasted it first neat against Goslings Black Seal. Myers’s was then a clear winner because of nose and finish. When making the Dark ‘N’ Stormy contest I think it’s up to one and each of us to decide. When using Myers’s you get much more rum feeling mostly because of the finish. I prefer Myers’s but Goslings is also great so I think it’s all about personal opinion and taste."
American Oak Aged Rum
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"31.07.2020 Enjoying our summer holiday at this nice resort having friends over for barbecue and rum. Notes Medium dark in colour. Palate Light wood, faint smoke, ester, spice, fruity, light coconut, light floral. Palate Light, light wood, ester, light citrus, faint coconut, spice, light ginger, naturally sweet. Finish Medium long, light, naturally sweet, light spicy, fruits, light citrus, faint floral."
English Harbour Port Cask Finish (Batch 002)
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The tasted one is from batch 002. Have also a bottle from batch 001, but haven’t tasted it yet. My guide during my visit at the distillery told me that they’re most pleased with the Port Cask Finish, of the three, in batch 002. I’ll drink to that! It has a fantastic nose and the taste is very distinct with great flavors and a very pleasant finish."
Dictador XO Perpetual / Aurum
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the first third of the six. This was a really nice surprise. A much netter rum than I expected, a nice complex rum with a hint of vanilla in the back. Very well balanced and a delight. Sweet but not too sweet unless you like dry or Agricole style rums. Price to quality is very good. "
XO Rhum Vieux Agricole
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"You get a lot for your money here and I do recommend people to give it a try. I do know its not the top range but still a very good blend. Leave to rest for a while to get the full experience. The nose is fresh and intense with wood, vanilla and plum as well as light cocoa and roasted notes. The palate is well balanced with fruit, wood, vanilla, cocoa, tobacco and light nuts. The finish is medium to long with dried fruit, wood and chocolate. Leave the glass for a few hours and nose it again for even stronger flavours."
Bellamy‘s Reserve MDR
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Endlich Mal ein vernünftiger & bezahlbarer Diamond Guyana Rum um den man sich nicht schlagen muss! Hier wird genau das Diamond Profil getroffen was ich so gerne mag und die 50% sind nicht zu dünn und nicht zu kräftig sondern sehr lecker und süffig! :) Geruchlich wie geschmacklich eine schöne Harmonie aus Zartbitter-Schokolade, Meersalz, kräftiger Melasse, Bananenbrot, Kaffee, Brombeeren und Trockenobst sowie ordentlich Gewürzen wie kandiertem Ingwer, Kardamom, Piment, Vanille und Muskat und dann etwas Tabak, Leder und Bitterorange im Abgang. 5% mehr Alkohol hätte er zwar noch vertragen können aber dann wäre er auch nochmal ein gutes Stück teurer geworden!😉 Es handelt sich hierbei übrigens um einen "small batch" aus 5 nahezu identischen Single cask diamonds die alle zwischen 64-67% hatten. PS: Macht sich hervorragend in diversen Tiki Cocktails wie dem Queens Park Swizzle!"
Clément Cuvée Homère Clément
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Enjoying this rum yet again and I still love it. This is one of the few rums carrying the AOC certification! A dry but very complex and well balanced rhum Agricole. The single column copper still in which it was made has given it a lot of flavours not available in normal stills A masterpiece of rum made from molasses showing that with love and care you can make a well aged Rhum Agricole from molasses."
XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"As a summary I would say it’s an elegant and pleasant Agricole with a quite long finish that could compete with J.M XO to be a perfect introduction to the world of Agricole. The nose is fruity with aroma of vanilla. At the palate and during the rather long finish it’s elegant and pleasant with flavors of vanilla, fruits, spice and sugarcane."
VSOP Réserve Spéciale
Top review from Galli33:
"The first impression immediately after filling the glass was wow some cool solvent notes paired with the typical agricole notes. Unfortunately, they disappear quickly. What remains is a thin, soft agricole! On the palate the thin(diluted) feeling conitues… The finish is quite short!"
Ron Antiguo de Solera 12 Años
Top review from Artur Schönhütte:
"Oh boy, at this point I have barely anything to say. There is an army of these types of rum. And they are completely lost in me. Maybe they really excel with cigars but otherwise this is expensive sweetened rum I don't care too much for..."
Doorly’s 5 Years
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall an very OK everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account. The brand Doorly’s was founded by Martin Doorly & Company, but is nowadays owned and produced by Foursquare and Mr. Richard Seale. The 5yo is a single blended rum, a combination of column and pot still, aged in former bourbon casks whereafter it’s bottled without any dosage or additives at 40%."
Cuvée Prestige vieilli 9 ans
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"A great Agricole with fantastic flavors that really explodes in your mouth. The nose is fruity and spicy. At the palate it’s complex, intense, round, fruity, spicy and sweet with flavors of licorice and sugarcane."
Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum 5 Solera
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"For a 5 year old rum this is a pretty good result. This is a blend of different destillates from the island! This is a rum in the sweet end of the spectrum and maybe too sweet for many. A sweet well blended rum."
Caraibes
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club some time ago. Compagnie des Indes Caraibes is a blend of rums from Guyana, Barbados and Trinidad. The color is quite pale and I haven’t found anything about aging, but I suppose it’s a quite young rum. I don’t recognize rum from Guyana or Barbados in the blend, so I suppose it’s mostly rum from Trinidad in the blend. Overall it’s too bland for my taste and nothing to write home about."
Ron Quorhum 12 Años Solera
Top review from Timo Groeger:
"Dieser Quorhum ist gar nicht schlecht. Angenehme Noten von Karamell und Honig in der Nase und am Gaumen. Ich finde es ist ein sehr milder Rum, den Alkohol spürz man kaum. Hat eine leichte, aber angenehme Süsse. Ganz ok für zwischendurch."
Ron Colon High Proof
Top review from Galli33:
"Thanks to RumRatings for this sample! This one is by far the best of the 4 samples from Ron Colon! A funky mix of different notes. Nose: Blind i classified it as a jamaican. Esters?!? 🤔🥲 There are smells and tastes of different fruits, agricole and a lot of spice. A short woody, coffee finish. Nose: 8.4 Palate: 7.5 Finish:7,9"
Angostura 1787
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Retasting and it did lose some points 😊 ------- This one concludes this week's tastings. Angostura has done it again. Another great rum and this one is a tad better than their 12 year old. This one was blended by John George's and he did a really good job. After blending it matured for 15 years in oak and you can taste that oak. A fruity well balanced rum with a long and full bodied finish."
Dos Maderas 5 Years + 3 Years
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The base in this rum is a blend of 5yo rum from Guyana (DDL) and Barbados (a little unclear if it comes from WIRD or Foursquare, seen both data) aged in the Caribbean. I’ve taste this and I can clearly recognize Demerara at this stage. This base are after arriving to Jerez, Spain, aged for 3 more Solera years in barrels earlier contained Dos Cortados Sherry which is very dry. I think it’s quite good even if it can’t compete with my favorite Sherry finished rum, but it’s in my opinion much better than the 5+5."
Latino
Top review from cigares :
"A light nose with a Demerara base, a hint of lemon and a hint of pastry. A light, acqueous, pastry-like palate. Clean and flawless, but a little too sweet. A short finish with vanilla cream. In short, a rum without qualities but pleasant to drink, very conciliatory and good value for money."
Eminente Gran Reserva Edition No. 1
Top review from Thunderbird:
"I find the nose very restrained, with delicate aromas of wood and honey. It is soft and light on the palate. The dilution is a little too strong for my taste. Notes of wood, coffee and spice dominate. It lacks complexity... I find it too one-dimensional."
Zaya Rum Gran Reserva
Top review from Timo Groeger:
"This rum really knows how to convince. Beautiful and above all pleasant nose consisting of coffee and chocolate. Then really fun on the palate. Goes from dark chocolate and coffee to vanilla and nuts. And above all, not too sweet. Delicious."
Ron Esclavo 12 Años
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Tried this in a hotel bar with very limited range. Would never have tried it under normal circumstances, cause I had earlier tested the XO and thought it was much too sweet. This one is also too sweet for me, but less than the XO."
Companero Ron Gran Reserva
Top review from Tim :
"Rather weak, hardly any flavors present, especially in the mouth and aftertaste. The base spirit was probably already not good, but the rum was watered down too much, but still has a rather alcoholic sharpness."
English Harbour Oloroso Sherry Finish (Batch 2)
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The tasted one here is from batch 002. Have also a bottle from batch 001, unopened. I tasted it the first time during my vacation in Antigua down at a restaurant in Falmouth Harbour. Thought that the nose was great, but the nose of the port version is even better. But nevertheless this is a great rum, well worth trying, that’s very complex and has a great finish."
Serie Experimental No.1
Top review from zabo:
"So Tag 2 vom RumX Adventskalender Was für eine krasse Nummer. Je länger dieser im Glas war, desto öfters musste ich umdenken. Kurz vor Schluss zumindest auf der richtigen Spur gewesen. Ob Guatemala, Panama oder halt jetzt doch Kolumbien, die Richtung hat gestimmt. Schön wieder probiert zu haben, aber meinen Geschmack hat es leider nicht getroffen."
Ron Zacapa Royal
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Retasting this one changed the score, how the palate changes over time 😊 This is probably the best rum in the Zacapa range. Maybe a bit too expensive for a rum that isn't a limited version."
English Harbour Reserve 10 Years
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The molasses is bought from Dom.Rep. and Guyana. After distillation it’s aged in former bourbon barrels of American oak, which are charred, for between 10 and 25 years. To enhance the oak taste is a handful of oak chips added to each barrel. In my opinion is it a great rum that overall is very dry and oaky."
Santisima Trinidad 15YO
Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"At the second tasting I found myself surprised because I sensed new aromas on the palate. I was probably not at my best last time.A very pleasant rum with light barrel notes. Medium finish and albeit too low alcohol content. The low price plays in its favor. Cuban rums, and in Spanish in general, lack the courage to try stronger gradations."
Obsidiana
Top review from Schnapsschuesse:
"Holziger und etwas fruchtiger in der Nase als der Indigo. Die Schokoladenaromen sind röstiger und dunkler. Vanille, Zitrus, viel Fass. Auch am Gaumen wieder das Spiel aus Milchschokolade und Frucht. Nussiger und würziger als der Indigo, nicht so reif wie der Cinabrio. Gut süffig, aber nicht so rund wie der Rest der Range."
Kirk and Sweeney 12 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. This one was better than the 18 year old version. Vanilla and butterscotch (to some extent) dominate this rum. A very gentle and uncomplex rum, but at the price tag pretty good. "
Millésime
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Though the ABV is relatively low they have still managed to put a lot of flavour into this release. I'd say the nose is light and elegant at the same time. Good balance between the elements in the profile. Can't stop wondering what it would have turned out at a higher ABV."
Eminente Ambar Claro
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Surprisingly solid young Cuban despite drinking strength, not fizzy, very mild and even relatively complex. really good for such a young Cuban! Really good daiquiri with it and generally for me one of the best young Cubans on the market for mixing!"
Plantation Stiggins‘ Fancy Pineapple Smoky Formula
Top review from rum_sk:
"A nicer version of the basic Stiggins' Fancy. It is more flavorful, fuller in the body and everything but not even distantly reminiscent of smoke, peat or whisky. At all 😀. Is it a problem? Kind of, since I was excited about the smokiness or whisky aftertaste but do not get me wrong it is great, better than the regular one just not what I was expecting in terms of what has been advertised. It is little spicy in a good way, lot of sweet taste and a really prominent pineapple, not like in the regular version which seems like diluted smoky formula now. I like it. I even forgive the big fuss around the non-existent smokiness. The finish is kind of short to medium long. Also it is a little bit bitter in the aftertaste. Is that ,,it,,? The smoky formula? Charred barrel? Who knows. I like it though, it is better than it's older sibling which is more suitable to drinks and cocktails. Retaste 30.4.: F...me not sure whether it is a new glass that I have or it is because I had around 20+ rums in 24hrs but I can sense the peat now. A lot. Rest still holds true."
Dead Man’s Fingers Spiced Rum
Top review from Lutz Lungershausen :
"06.2024 Erster Eindruck: Kaugummi? Nase: synthetisch, Frucht-Kaugummi, Orange Gaumen: süß, Orange, Muskat, Gewürze, unbeeindruckend Abgang: trocken, mittellang Gesamteindruck: Nase verspricht mehr als der Gaumen halten kann. Damit möchte ich nicht mal einen Mixer versemmeln, Wertung von ursprünglich 6,0 auf 5,5 gesenkt 2023 Für 21€ bekommt man einen stark aromatisierten und gesüßten Mixer, der auch wegen des intensiven Kaugummi-Aromas nicht mehr viel von einem Rum hat. Ansonsten eine süffige Party-Spirituose."
XO
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"#4209 This is a very mild release and I'd have loved a higher ABV. Fruity and fresh with a lightly dry palate. There is a nice floral touch to the profile. The empty glass has some mint and light smoke. Price to quality is pretty good."
Ron Barceló Añejo
Top review from Rumpalumpa:
"I bought it to mix with cola and was absolutely convinced. Compared to the alternatives here in Spain, which are also somewhat cheaper, such as Negrita, much better. Hardly alcoholic and pleasantly sweet barrel aromas."
Franky‘s Pineapple
Top review from SaibotZtar :
"The wacky Easter calendar day 5 "Oh man " was my first thought when I came into contact with this drop... The nose is not really pleasing Cheap glue mixed with green very green pineapple (could also be green banana 🤣) Uhu Sekundenbab describes it best. On the palate ... briefly shaken some sweetness, some wood ... and ester but not the delicious ester ... a little fruit via banana and pineapple (very little) Not getting warm with it...."
15 Años Añejo Gran Reserva
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"I think it’s good, but not exceptional in any way. Both the nose and the medium long finish is quite weak. I think the “Seleccion de Maestros” is a better buy when considering the price, but it will anyway have its place on the Cuban shelf in my rumbar."
Opthimus 25 Años Malt Whisky Finish (TOMATIN)
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a retasting and I'll leave the old comment and change the points 😊 This is a malt finish og their normal 25 and you definitely get the barrel finish. The nose is sharp in the beginning so leave if for 15 minutes ad you get rewarded with fruits, vanilla and caramel. There is a bit of earthiness about it. The palate is mild and well rounded with a lot of tropical fruits, berries and grapes topped with vanilla and oak. The finish is medium to long with a sweet stickiness followed by fruit, cocoa and caramel."
Select Reserve Glass Cask Rum
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"#4740 07.06.2024 Found a nice secluded spot in this moving dune to enjoy a few samples. Nose Intense, fresh, wood, light smoke, sugarcane, light coconut, faint honey, banana. Palate Intense, wood, light tannins, fruity, light banana, light coconut, roasted. Finish Long and warm, wood, roasted, faint honey, tannins, light fruits, dry."
Sherry Cask Finish
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Got this 5cl sample from the RR Tasting Club. The Emperor Sherry finished Rum is a a blend of aged rum made from fresh sugar cane juice (40%) and molasses (60%). This amber colored rum is aged in American and French oak barrels for 5-12 years whereafter it’s given a 6-month finish in sherry casks before bottled. Overall it’s quite alike the Heritage version, but with Sherry hints of course. For me it’s too sweet and I characterize it as a rum mostly belonging to the Spanish style."

"The best sweet Spanish styled I’ve ever tasted and of course it is from Panama which seems to be my favorite country of origin when it comes to sweet Spanish rum. Hard to see that any other should beat it."
