Rum Reviews

Ron del Barrilito "Superior Especial" Puerto Rican RumFull flavor along with sweet, nutty, oak and carmel. A bit harsh.
43% Alcohol

Zaya Gran Reserva 12 Year Old Trinidad Rum
Carmel, spice, vanilla, oak and really smooth. This is a complex rum in complete balance.

Cruzan Spiced Rum "9" St. Croix Rum Spice, smoke, oak and vanilla come together on a complex offering which is a really good value (under $12).

Tommy Bahamas Gold Rum Vanilla, oak, floral and spice. Not real concentrated and lacks complexity.

Mount Gay Rum "Eclipse" Barbados RumA little heat with oak, hazelnuts, and water. Not as concentrated as I would like and a good candiate with a mixer. 
40% Alchohol
