Pampero
Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva
Superb!
My go to rum. It's in short supply right now and I found two bottles this weekend at a store about 45 minutes from home so I'm good for a while. That

Barcelo
Imperial
A solid choice
I think this is definitely a top choice for sipping. Not too sweet or overly flavored. Smooth and easy to enjoying particularly with a nice cigar.

Appleton Estate
Unexpectedly good
Not sure if I was expecting more Capt Morgan than a nice dark ages rum but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely something I'll go back to. Smooth bu

Abuelo
Gran Reserva
Not buying the hype
Nothing wrong with this rum, but nothing special either. I'm not tasting anything memorable like the woodsy oak in the Pampero or the more complex fin

Plantation
XO 20th Anniversary (old bottle)
Only if you like it sweet
A good sipper, but very sweet. Not sure this will be a go-to rum for me, but I'll dutifully finish off the bottle and keep searching for something tha

Atlantico
Platino
Great for Mojitos
I had a great Mojitos at Victor's Cafe in NYC made with Atlantico. Prefer it to Bacardi Silver.

Flor de Cana
Too smooth?
Not a bad rum, particularly if you like really smooth rums, but it's almost too smooth. Not much flavor or bite. Not sure I'm putting this one on my g

Diplomatico
Reserva Exclusiva
On the sweet side
So the clerk tells me, "drinking the good stuff today" and I'm feeling pretty good. Unfortunately I thought it tasted too much like menthol. Like a

Zaya
Gran Reserva
OK if you like spicy and sweet.
Tastes a bit too much like Capt. Morgan's for my liking. A bit too spicy and sweet but the taste improves as the ice melts.

San Miguel
7 Black
Definitely a mixing rum
Not terrible as a sipping rum but not smooth enough to make it a go to option. Also may be too difficult to find in the US and may not be worth the ef

Bacardi

Better options out there
For an aged rum it's just ok. I prefer the Flor de Caña 7 any day.

Atlantico
Private Cask
Mix it
Not a great sipping option. It just doesn't have enough character or complexity to sip. Reminds me of the FDC 12. Not bad with some cola though.

Bacardi
Superior
For cocktails only
I prefer Atlantico light to the Bacardi silver but this will make a good mojito too.

Pyrat
XO Reserve
Rough and overbearing
The initial flavor is very rough. Hits you like a scorn woman's slap across your face. And as others have pointed out, the orange flavoring is overwhe
