These are the Top 10 Rum brands according to People’s Favorites:
1) Bacardi Superior
It is colourless and easy flowing and is thin in the body. This rum is mostly used to make cocktails.
2) Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum
A secret blend of Caribbean rums and select spices which brings out the intensity of rum in all its original full-flavoured glory.
3) Havana Club Anejo Blanco
Still being distilled in Cuba, this delightful white rum is what the islanders use for their Mojitos.
4) Mount Gay Eclipse Rum
This Eclipse bottling has lots of fans, and is a good one to try if you think all rum is unrefined and over-sweet. It was created in Barbados in 1910.
5) Stroh Original
Stroh Rum 160 Proof. Its very distinctive aroma enchances both the character and the diversity of Original Storh 80 spirit specialty.
6) Captain Morgan Private Stock
Brown rum distilled from fermented molasses. Sweeter and more candied than Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum. Bottled at 40% alcohol by volume.
7) Ron Abuelo
Varela-Hermanos, a 3rd-generation Panamanian family distillery, produces Ron Abuelo, an authentic dark rum made from sugar cane the distillery grows and carefully aged in oak casks.
8.) Bacardi Limon
Bacardi Limon rum is a citrus flavored white spirit produced by Bacardi. It’s intense flavor is invoked from the combination of essential oils from lemons, limes and grapefruits, aged with Bacardi Rum for 1 year.
9) Captain Morgan Tattoo
This rum is very dark in color, in the bottle it looks almost black. There’s something sweet going on with the flavour, but there’s no lack of spice either.
10) Serralles Don Q Cristal
Unlike most clear rums, DonQ uses a multiple distillation system to produce a cleaner, more refined, and more delicate flavor profile. It’s then aged in American White Oak Bourbon barrels to impart a touch more smoothness.
When I got this domain, I thought I’d park it. I won’t update this blog very often. Maybe one post per week.

This bottling takes the classic bourbon and infuses it with black cherry for a very interesting take on an old favorite.
Oxley Classic English Dry Gin
Oxley is produced using a distilling technique called “cold distillation,” which is not commonly used in the industry. This process allows the botanicals of the gin to come through in a softer, more natural way, making this gin ideal for those who like a more delicate profile.
