Perfect for a smokey cokey Cuba Libre! 85/100
Despite the initial hit on the nose this is a pretty solid spiced rum and though I didn’t try it I can imagine this mixes well also. Plenty of festive spices to be found. 80/100
Again another very pleasant spirit, perhaps a little affected by the gin sample previously but this gave me a real swimming pool/chlorine vibe on the nose. Other than that slightly off note and some solventy spirit on the palate this is pretty delicious oak aged rum. Plenty of sweet sugars and tropical fruits and some nice chocolate notes from the cask. 80/100
Foursquare Hereditas 14 Years Old Rum Review: A sweet easy drinking rum that takes water well. 85/100
Labourdonnais 5 Years Old Batch 1 rum review: A lovely balance of sweet and spice presented and a little sugary weight behind this. 85/100
Goslings Black Seal 151 Proof Rum review: Powerful at full strength, reduced this still has some very spirity nature but the Black seal characters start to come through. 84/100
Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum review: Appealing to both my rum and whisky palate, this well aged example is edging into Rancio territory with masses of oak wood influence and still plenty of sweetness too. 85/100
Goslings Gold Seal Rum review: This gold/amber Rum from Goslings has a very different character from the Black seal, much more buttery and subtle flavours, again a great base for mixing/cocktails but also very drinkable straight. 83/100
Goslings Black Seal Rum review: A great drinker neat and also a great base for mixing/cocktails. Sweet, herbal, liquid cola cubes! 83/100
A little tart and spicy initially but the sweetness prevails and the whole becomes quite moreish. 87/100
