Hmmm... it's a cognac, a good one, so the rating is irrelevant

Many thanks to Joola69 for sharing this as part of a rare rum exchange. We are the only two people to have reviewed this rum as of this review.

This is a nice sweet rum, which smells and tastes of orange (Grand Marnier barrels?), caramel, vanilla, oak, and spice. Very nice!

Flor de Caña Añejo Clásico 5-Year rum

Flor de Caña Añejo Clásico 5-Year review posted 3 years ago by Neman3 (PREMIUM) 🇨🇦 | 283 ratings

My first ever FcD was 12yo, the number 12 of all sorts of the rum I've tasted. Then there were 18yo (not impressed that much) and 7yo (fiasco).

Now Im drinking 5yo and I enjoy it. Feels like complex enough and tasty.

Have to rediscover Flor de Caña.

Many thanks to Joola69 for sharing this as part of a rare rum exchange. This is a very good rum, and I'm only the 3rd person to try is as of this review!

Smells and tastes of sweet molasses, caramel, cinnamon, oak, hazelnut, and cake. Again, I find it to be a very nice rum!

Angostura 1919 8-Year rum

Angostura 1919 8-Year review posted 3 years ago by Mark Ogilvie 🇺🇸 | 20 ratings

Pretty unremarkable, rummy aroma, if maybe a bit harsh.

The drink itself is pleasant. Pretty light on flavor, with a smooth mouthfeel. Gently sweet, woody... almost floral rather than fruity. Eminently drinkable and unobtrusive, but really not much to write about. It is nice. I'd say the flavor is probably too light to make for a keen mixer, but haven't given it a shot myself.

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year rum

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year review posted 3 years ago by Mark Ogilvie 🇺🇸 | 20 ratings

An incredibly timeless british navy rum. Take the extra sugar away from a rum toffee, and there's your Pusser's flavor profile. It's straightforward, it's recognizable, it's the most solid foundation you could possibly think of to compare all other pot-still rums to.

It doesn't really do anything wild or unique to merit a higher score, and you're not going to be dreaming about this drink and how it changed your life, but make no mistake: This rum perfectly executes the concept it is aiming for.

Very smooth and sweet. Easy to drink but lacks complexity. Still this is good value for the price. The bottle looks awesome.

A very decent Rum that does not break the bank. It is worthy of drinking neat or mixing. A decent "Non-Show off Rum".
Go for it!

I expected more from the Appleton’s Estate Signature vs other Appleton’s. Nicely complex. A bit too sharp and molasses.

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-Year rum

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-Year review posted 3 years ago by CH 🇨🇦 | 8 ratings

Appleton Estate 12YO is the benchmark against which I judge other rums. The quality is high, the price is low, and availability is widespread.

Nose: Brown sugar, molasses, orange jelly; ground cloves and a dash of ginger. Big and funky, rich and engaging.

Taste: Mild brown sugar sweetness, lots of baking spice. The nose truly predicts the palate. Finishes funky with molasses and floral undertones, fading to barrel tannin and a mild hint of solvent.

Overall: An excellent rum, one that gives the category legitimacy as a fine sipping spirit. Also ideal in a mai tai or rum old fashioned, or to make a superior classic daiquiri.

Cheers!

Appleton Estate Signature Blend review posted 3 years ago by MatLen 🇬🇷 | 15 ratings

Fine aroma, smooth, tastes better mixed with sparkling fruit sodas and orange slice. Not a bad sipper choice for aged rum beginners but 12years is way much better sipper. Still ...fine for rum ending a hard day. Satisfying score 7+

Bacardi Superior rum

Bacardi superior or carta blanca is a standard light rum for fruit cocktails and Coke mixer. Nobody claimed that is a sipper! Party rum? Yes. And serves it's purpose!

Mount Gay Eclipse rum

Mount Gay Eclipse review posted 3 years ago by MatLen 🇬🇷 | 15 ratings

My first rum from Barbados. Before mixing, had it on a rock with a slice of orange. I was nicely surprised! Eclipse is a fair mixer specially with lime-pergamon juice and yes was also a very tasty "dark and stormy". Great choice as a starter to rums more than just a cheap grocery store poor quality mixers.

Ron Colon Salvadoreno Dark Aged rum

Ron Colon Salvadoreno Dark Aged review posted 3 years ago by Jagged 🇸🇰 | 106 ratings

Vôňa veľmi intenzívna pripomínajúca skôr agricole rumy. Chuť výrazne tropické ovocie, funky Jamaica, tráva a tých 55,5% celkom cítiť. Toto zatiaľ nie je čo by som v rumoch vyhľadával. Skúsim opäť za rok a možno zmením názor.

Too sweet. Even as a mixer, tastes like syrup. There are better choices for a spiced rum based cocktail.

Doorly's White ABV40 3-Year rum

Doorly's White ABV40 3-Year review posted 3 years ago by Jagged 🇸🇰 | 106 ratings

Ďalší z rumov čo som kúpil hlavne na koktaily ale príjemný je aj na samostatné pitie. Farba je skôr žltkastá. Vo vôni som najprv cítil kokos, neskôr intenzívna vanilka a tropické ovocie. V chuti vanilka, ovocie a citrusy. V priamom porovnaní s Plantation 3 Stars mi prišiel silnejší (asi preto že Plantation je sladšie) ale oba sú celkom príjemne. V Daiquiri viac chutil Doorlys. Krásne vytiahol limetku a bol menej " liehovy". 7,5 bodu.

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry rum

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry review posted 3 years ago by svartkonst 🇸🇪 | 11 ratings

This is my first dry rum, and the first thing that hit me was the sharpness in the nose. The profile is very different from their more regular rums, but once it settled in it was quite pleasant, and had that light, almost fruity taste that a lot of Plantation rums have.

Dictador XO Perpetual rum

Prémiový rum, pěkná láhev i balení. Vůně kávy dominuje , v pozadí med,vanilka. Chuť zase hlavně káva, trochu karamel,
v dochuti příjemné dřevo. Spíše suchý rum, alkohol je tu dobře skrytý, mohu jen doporučit.
