What are some of the best American made rums?
I love that so many reviews from this site come from all over the place. But this may be more directed towards the U.S. reviewers. I am looking to try some really good American made rums that seem to be readily available. Price is not much of a consideration. The cavaet is, that I prefer Bajan rums or semi-sweet rums - nothing with tons of added sugar or sweetness. So please no sugar bombs.
Foursquare makes some of the best bajan style rum. As far as American made rum goes, I think Bayou rum is probably one of best. However, in my opinion, comparatively rum made in America isn't as good as other countries.
Bajan style rums:
Mount Gay XO
Foursquare Criterion, Empery, Sovereignty,
American made rum:
Cane Run, Sweet Crude (great mixers)
Bayou Special Reserve Single Barrel(decent sipper)
Richland rums( it's decent and worth a try)
rum catching up in USA though more independent bottles are coming out
Holmes cay are ment to be very good but expensive not reached UK stores yet... think that the ...only big difference between EU and USA is loads off independent rums in UK and EU but it will change in time as rum gets more popular in USA
Your right.
a lot off people in UK are same they like suger bombs such as bumbu and Morgan's but gin is most popular drink in UK I think it's only been last few years where rum has really taken off in in UK with festivals and local independent bottles
I never had bumba by the way but I know it's a suger bomb
Richland Rum from Georgia is a unique product. An Agricole type rum single estate single barrel from sugar cane grown on their own farm only. It's hard to find but if you're ever close it's worth a try and a tour. No additives at all!
Thomas Tew is one of my favorite U.S. rums They're out of Newport, R.I and some TW stores stock it at under $50. Papas Pilar is another one but expect to pay double for their best and they use rum from a Louisiana distillery seeing it's a start up based in Key West. I posted this link last month. Enjoy, there quite a few out there. https://www.robsrum.com/americanrum/

I just read that rum in UK has overtaken whisky for 1st ever time with billion in sells .rum has a market share off 13% according to the spirits business
Thank you everyone that has responded. I am going to seach out the Bayou and Thomas Tew rums. The Richland Rum is probably not for me as it is an Agricole and for some reason I just cannot develop a taste for it.
On my cross country adventure I just picked this up in Texas. Looks interesting but will wait a week or more to try it.
Echo Spirits Rum is really good. A very flavorful light rum. Makes a great daiquiri. They're out of Columbus, OH. Not sure how much reach their distribution has.
Several years ago I was lucky enough to enjoy a bottle of Privateer Navy Yard Barrel Proof which was exceptional in my recollection although I haven't sampled any of their other offerings as of yet.

The only American made rums that I have tried come from either Florida, Louisiana, or Hawaii.
From Hawaii, I can only recommend Koloa Coffee that I rated as a 7
From Florida, here are my best, having all been rated as a 7 or 8:
Papa's Pilar Marquesas Blend (rated as an 8)
Papa's Pilar Legacy Edition 2021 Rye Finish
Oak & Palm Spiced
Papa's Pilar Platinum Blonde 7 Year 92 Proof
St. Augustine Pot Still 90 proof
From Louisiana, here are my best, having all been rated as a 7 or 8:
Bayou Mardi Gras XO (rated as an 8)
Bayou Single Barrel Select
Oxbow Estate (Agricole)
Oxbow Barrel Aged 2 year
Wildcat Brothers Noire 5 Year
Roulaison Amer Spiced
Wildcat Brothers Fifolet Spiced
Marsh House White
Sweet Crude Black Gold Single Harvest
These are the best of what I was able to try down where I live.
Most of the US rums I buy/own are from Louisiana.
I'm a fan of Oxbow, Roulaison, Wildcat, and Porchjam.
