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 12-Year

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

Ron Abuelo 12 Anos 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 12-Year

Zaya Gran Reserva 12-Year

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

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
