Havana Club
Viva Havana!
One of my favorite ambers. Mellow, man mellow......

Sailor Jerry
Spiced
Yargh....
The spiced rum that thinks it's an Amber. These folks got their market down.

Diplomatico
Reserva
Venezuela!
Smooth, mellow.... everything an amber should be........

Cruzan
Gold
High quality, low price.
For an entry level, opening price point this is a quality rum. Just sweet enough, mellow easy. It's a lot of rum at a reasonable price.

Bacardi
Oakheart
Facundo is the man!
Another spiced that thinks it's an Amber. One of the best of the bats!

Havana Club
Anejo Reserva
An old friend......
Smooth and mellow. Like an old friend, comfort booze.....

Barcelo
Anejo
Smooth Criminal
So smooth it should be illegal. If you're going to the Dominican don't forget me..... :)

Mulata
Silver Dry
Dance the night away.
You don't want to know what I once did for a bottle of this. Let's just say I earned the title "Mr. Puntarena". Cheap rum but it's Cuban so it's good.

Captain Morgan
Spiced
Hoist the anchor!
The rum that made me a rum drinker and the reason my liver hates me.

Havana Club
Anejo Especial
King of the Hill.
This is one of the greatest rums I have ever tasted. Mellow tast, beautiful oak aroma. One of the finest by far. Only available in Cuba.
9
English Harbour
Decadence
Absolute rum perfection. Smooth, mellow, flavourful. Expensive but worth the experience even if only once.
9
El Dorado
Aged to near perfection.....
About as sweet as I can manage it. Any sweeter and it would be off my scale. Also love the 5-year old version.

Parrot Bay
Coconut
Coconuts about this one....
A tastier alternative to Malibu. The Captain can do no wrong in my opinion.
8
Santiago de Cuba
Anejo
Cuba Libre!
When in Cuba drink as Cubans drink. Cheap, easy to find, easy to drink.

Captain Morgan
Private Stock
A treat....
Very nice. For the serious connoisseur. Treat yourself.
8
Malibu
Coconut
Seriously easy going....
Got to be in the mood for this one. Goes down easy - too easy. Dangerous because of the desire to drink quickly.
8
Bacardi
Añejo
A little flat.
Good in a pinch. Has a Dominican taste. Similar to Brugal.
8
Bacardi
Gold
Cheap and easy....
About the best Amber you can get on a budget. Cheap as Lamb's but with more taste. I get this one the day before payday in flask size.
8
Gosling's
Gold
Light.
Very light taste. A little too light if you are a connoisseur. Recommend as an entry level.
8
El Dorado
Junior
El Dorado's opening price point. Smooth Amber and probably the best bang for your buck. One of the nicest economy rums. Very similar to the 8-year old

Cruzan
9 Spiced
The connoisseurs rum.
9 years is a sweet spot for any decent rum and this is no exception. Another spice that tastes like an Amber it is aged rum at a blended price. A good

Matusalem
Clasico
(Not Quite As Old As....)
Truly a high end drink for a discriminating rum connoisseur. A little high on the sweetness scale for me but it is a quality rum.
8
Old Sam
Rhum Demerara
Sticky sticky....
Those who like it like it a lot. One of my friends has the logo tattooed on his leg. Good but not tattoo worthy. Nice sipper. Like how it sticks to th
7
Mount Gay
Eclipse
Best of Barbados
One of the better golds and one of the best Barbados has to offer. Halfway between an Amber and a gold.
7
Newfoundland
Screech
The Islander.
Similar to Old Sam, drinking this makes you an honorary Newfoundlander. Good enough reason to drink it once.
6
Brugal
Añejo
This is rum?
Low on the sweetness scale. So low it almost doesn't taste like a rum. The best way I can describe the taste is dry. Like a Riesling.
6
Cockspur
5 Star Fine
Like water.
Very light, almost a white. Almost too light. See my review for Gosling's.
6
Favell’s
London Dock Demerara
When you don't want to remember anything.....
Strong taste, hits you like a ton of bricks. One drink, sip slowly.....
6
Lemon Hart
Navy Spiced
Almost sickly sweet....
I like Spiced rums but this one is a little too far up the sweetness scale for my liking. Can manage a sip or two but won't be in regular rotation in

Lamb's
Palm Breeze
Entry level.
Popular in my region. Just drinkable in a pinch. The best of the worst. Mediocre.
5
Appleton Estate
Reserve
Sickly sweet....
People I know either love this or hate it. A little too high on my sweetness scale but it obviously makes a lot of people happy.

Lamb's
Black Sheep Spiced
Back to the barrel with you.
Too much cinnamon. Some misguided waitress once served me this and tries to pass it off as The Captain. She had no idea who she was dealing with.
