It is definitely cinnamon forward and then a nice light warm burn to follow. 35% abv. Very good in a rum and coke

My "Holy Grail" of the Rum World

Posted 24 Mar '21 by Paul B 🇺🇸 | 472 ratings

Stefan: It was my downright determination to get these rums and no amount of luck. Total Wine has a great website and it was going to be one stop in Jacksonville Florida. I checked a few days later and they were sold out of the 1931. I checked as far south as Orlando and Tampa. Other stores had either sold out of the 1931 or the Legacy, but rarely both. So I found one store a few miles north of...

This is excellent sipping rum. Always have some of it around the house. will share with my best friends. Low the old bourbon barrel aroma and the oaky notes. Think I'll go have some now!


Mount Gay XO Extra Old rum

Mount Gay XO Extra Old review posted 3 years ago by Pbraunsc 🇺🇸 | 17 ratings

Very, very drinkable especially if you are on a budget. Started drinking this in Barbados at the Mount Gay distillery tasting party. Love it on the rocks with a drop or 2 of lime.

Dead Man's Fingers Hemp rum

Dead Man's Fingers Hemp review posted 3 years ago by Vincent 🇦🇺 | 38 ratings

I wasn’t much of a fan of the DMF spiced rum, but gave the hemp version a go on the recommendation of a liquor store attendant. I was expecting the hemp thing to be just a marketing gimmick, but instead found this to be a unique and pleasant rum. I mixed it with dry ginger and enjoyed the herbal, piney and milky coffee flavours. Good value for money if you’re looking for something a bit different.

Flor de Caña 12-Year rum

Flor de Caña 12-Year review posted 3 years ago by Pbraunsc 🇺🇸 | 17 ratings

Flor de Cana is a delightful rum that i would have no trouble serving to my friends by the pool. Not to sweet as are many rums and not a lot of flavor additives. For me this is an 8.

Had my first taste yesterday. A little thin on aroma and taste. However it will get you where you want to be, just not as satisfyingly.

Paul, Great purchase! I’ve tasted their standard rum, the Forgotten Cask, the 1931 84th Anniversary and the final 1931. They’re all good. Their standard rum is almost unbeatable in its price range, but I think the final 1931 is Chairman’s best of those I’ve tasted. Unfortunately I can’t find it anymore so lucky you Paul....

Chairman’s Reserve Original 4-6 Years rum

Chairman’s Reserve Original 4-6 Years review posted 3 years ago by Vincent 🇦🇺 | 38 ratings

This one makes me shudder....a piquant, pungent punch on the nose and a spice bomb slap in the mouth. Way too much going on here to drink neat and there’s a nasty cardamom flavouring that lingers. It settles down with some mixer but for the price point, there are much better rums. Maybe I have should have tried it with an Indian meal.

Man, I was so excited to try this out, but my experience with it was a very unpleasant one. For such an expensive rum, I was expecting a host of flavors dancing around my taste-buds, but that didn't happen at all. It was too much heat for my taste.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva rum

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva review posted 3 years ago by OctavianCatusanu 🇷🇴 | 5 ratings

I'd like to tell you that I loved this, but I'd only advise you to get it if you're on a budget. For a budget rum, it's ok, but other than that, it's too sweet, sugary, and the flavor is quite overwhelming (butterscotch, toffee), . It's good if you've got no better alternative, but for just a little extra $ you could get a Plantation XO, and that would definitely be worth the money.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary review posted 3 years ago by OctavianCatusanu 🇷🇴 | 5 ratings

Whenever me and my friends gather together for a drinking session, this rum is always on the table. Great party rum in my opinion, but you can also enjoy it alone with a cigar. It's a bit on the sweet side, which is always a good thing for me. It's very smooth and hits you with the vanilla flavor. And it's not an expensive rum at all. Definitely worth buying!

Dictador XO Perpetual rum

Dictador XO Perpetual review posted 3 years ago by OctavianCatusanu 🇷🇴 | 5 ratings

I loved this one as well, but I can't give it the 10 that I gave to the XO Insolent. This rum didn't hit me as sweet as the other one, but I would definitely not skip it. You should have this one in your cabinet at all times, for the people that prefer something a little bit drier than its brother. Loved it.

JB stands for Johncrow Batty which means a Turkey Vulture’s ass because we drink this mainly during times of grieving or while doing manual labor. It’s to get us drunk not to truly enjoy rum. The taste itself is not great
