Havana Club 7-Year

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........

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.....

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

Ron 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.

English Harbour 5-Year

Decadence Absolute rum perfection. Smooth, mellow, flavourful. Expensive but worth the experience even if only once.

El Dorado 8-Year

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.

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.

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.

A little flat. Good in a pinch. Has a Dominican taste. Similar to Brugal.

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.

Light. Very light taste. A little too light if you are a connoisseur. Recommend as an entry level.

El Dorado 5-Year

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 10-Year

(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.

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

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.

Newfoundland Screech

The Islander. Similar to Old Sam, drinking this makes you an honorary Newfoundlander. Good enough reason to drink it once.

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.

Cockspur 5 Star Fine

Like water. Very light, almost a white. Almost too light. See my review for Gosling's.

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.....

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.

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.
