Thoughts: Very surprised for an English rum and one that is obviously manufactured but it is subtle whilst being slightly complex as well having two different elements: the cinnamoned orange peel and then a vanilla'd pineapple on the finish. £30 for a bottle, it's a great party rum that doesn't seem to take itself too seriously but can hold a place in our cupboard.

Rating: 7/10

Smell - Strong pineapple with a hint of toasted pineapple, sweet, vanilla, orange
Taste - cinnamon orange peel with a cheeky spice
After Taste - Short lived with pineapple and vanilla

Nič netrčí, vyhladený, chutný ale veľa o ňom neporozprávam, prekvapujúco fungoval výborne s kockou ľadu.

Tak toto okolo rumu ani nešlo, liehovina, hnedá voda. Nič, ani chuť ani...nič.

Thoughts: A rather good honey spiced rum as labelled. The initial taste is slightly medicinal in nature but the smell and finish really does bring through that honey, and not just cheap honey too, some interesting floral notes and vanilla to round it off. £28 for the bottle means this is a easy Christmas present and easy to have it in the winter as well as the summer. Happy to buy another one!

Smell - Honey, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg
Taste - slightly medicinal honey flavour but pleasant, sweet, little spice in the form of nutmeg, cinnamon
After Taste - medium length developing into fresh floral honey flavour still with sweetness with a hint of vanilla

Thoughts: Batch No 3. Definitely not for rum lovers but a cheeky quirky flavour. With memories of foam banana penny sweets and milkshake. Even as a known artificial flavouring it really wasn't worth the purchase. Happy to definitely not drink this again.

Rating: 3/10

Smell - creamy foam bananas, milkshake, artificial banana, little spice
Taste - Not as banana as the smell, light spiciness
After Taste - Medium to long tasting of cheap sweets

Ром, в топе моих любимцев. Если надоела классика, и хочется что-то более необычного и глубокого, этот экземпляр для вас. Удивительно как, за столь небольшой срок выдержки, возможно получить такой напиток. Количество бочек в выдержке, дало удивительный результат. Крайне нестандартный ром!

В Таиланде, под нарезку свежих фруктов самое то. Но в целом дешев и сердит.

Ром подходящий под рубрику цена-качество. Сладковатые ноты фруктов и кокосовой стружки, в помесь с классическим ромовыми.

Complex with deep oak, leather, and caramel notes. Hints of tobacco, spices, and dried fruits linger, creating a smooth, long finish.

Rich and earthy with hints of mushrooms, smoky oak, and a touch of vanilla. A unique blend of mezcal-like smokiness and lingering spice.

Smooth and rich with deep oak, chocolate, and tobacco notes. Balanced sweetness with hints of spice and caramel. Complex and rewarding with time.

A mix of tropical fruits, honey, and wine-infused wood creates a bold yet smooth profile with a smoky finish. Slight wine notes mingle with Jamaican funk, resulting in a complex yet divisive experience.

Complex layers of cherries, citrus, and subtle spices blend with wood and a touch of bitterness. Smooth with a warming finish and balanced agricole tones.

Absolutely fantastic! Hint of sweetness and perfect for sipping smooth, possibly one ice cube
Picked it up from duty free in Punta Cana and worth every dollar!!

Alas - I gave this as a gift before it could be sampled at home!
Perhaps my friends saved me a bit ;-)

Lovely smooth rum with hints of orange. Good for variety of cocktails like rum & cola, pina colada and just over ice or soda.

Dark rum with lots of molasses and spice - needs to be mixed with cola for sure
Vaguely reminds one of Old Monk from India - which does have a large following

One of those trustworthy rums - equally at home sipped over a large ice cube during winter, or mixed into Cuba Libre with a twist of lime in summer time!

I’d like to imagine this is what rum tasted like when the guy on the logo was just another everyday consumer of the stuff. It’s not fantastic by any means, but it’s also under $20 (when you can find it) and sipping it takes me back to a time and place(or at least I’d like to think it does) where your only options for drinks were rum or ale. I gave it an extra point because I’m a sucker for labels/packaging.

Was decent at first, but the more I had I the fake coffee flavour came through. Was hard to finish the bottle near the end. Could be good mixed as coffee liqueur for a coffee cocktail.

Haven’t had this in a while so hard to remember exactly. Imo very similar to the 5 year and I might only be able to tell the difference if I had a side by side comparison. But otherwise, I’d rather the 5 because it’s cheaper for not much difference.

Just recently had this one. A lot of people prefer the 12 year, but I personally like the 15 better. Has strong aroma notes of caramel, wood, and vanilla. Tasting notes are cameral (again), earthy, and woody characteristics, has no burn on the finish

Better then Mamtuano. Not so sharp, you can feel that it is older.
