ARÔME True Rum Aged 28 Years
Type: Cuban Style If I could I would replace my blood with this.

Rum Reviews
Type: Cuban Style
Bacardi “Havana Club” Anejo Classico Rum
Quick synopsis of the review
Bacardi “Havana Club” Añejo Blanco
Type: Anejo While better than a number of Bacardi’s rums around this price point, the “Havana Club” Añejo Blanco is ultimately disappointing.
Barbancourt Estate Reserve 15 Year Old Rum
Type: Rhum Agricole, XO One of the rare instances where you can find a 15 year old spirit for around $60, rarer still is the value for the money !
Barbancourt Haitian Proof White Rum
Type: Rhum Agricole A great, flavorful, and complex rhum very modestly priced. One of my favorite go to’s for a white rum.
Canerock Spiced Rum
Not to my taste- Kind of awful actually.
Damoiseau VSOP Cane Rum
Type: Rhum Agricole A Beautifully Done Semi Dry Rhum Agricole. A treat to both eye and palette.
Don Q Piña Flavored Rum
Type: Organic, Rhum Industrial If you are looking for a pineapple flavored white rum, this is it. Both flavor and price point are outstanding
Facundo Neo Silver Rum
Type: Blanco, Plata, Rhum Industrial Quite an eye opening experience of what Bacardi can actually produce when they want to be serious about rum. A huge step up from their usual !
Havana Club 7 Year Anejo Rum
Type: Cuban Rum A damn fine rum for the money. A worthy expression of the Cuban spirit of rum but still very mixable.
Havana Club Selección de Maestros
Type: Cuban Rum Exotic, lovely, forbidden and inexpensive. A rare combination of my favorite things and the Havana Club Rum to buy at the lower end of the price range.
House Spirits Rum

Type: Rhum Industrial A complex and nuanced overproof rum – Yes, they do exist !
Papas Pilar Platinum Blonde Rum Limited Edition
Type: Blended, Rhum IndustrialVery flavorful, complex and nicely structured, and not overly sweet. Just the way we like our blondes – of any kind.

Type: Blend An exceptionally complex and flavorful rum made from a blend of rums from both pot and column stills and 3 seperate countries and oceans .
Planteray Stiggins Fancy Pineapple Rum 1824 Recipe
