Rums in this list

  1. Best for: Fans of old tropical Jamaican Clarendon funk

    Loved for its funky tropical fruit, menthol and beautifully integrated alcohol. Most rate it highly, though several say the cask and heat can dominate and rank the 1995/97 Clarendons above it.

  2. Best for: Long Pond fans who like fruit-forward, Cognac-influenced Jamaicans

    Loved as a balanced, fruity Long Pond that leans Cognac-like and drinks easy at cask strength. The recurring grumble is value — many feel the price outruns the quality.

  3. Best for: Long Pond and high-ester Jamaican funk fans

    Loved by Long Pond fans for its funky nose and long dry finish. A few say the spice buries the fruit and it drinks drier than the aroma promises.

  4. Best for: Long Pond fans who like fruit-forward, moderately funky Jamaican pot still

    Well-liked as a fruity, funky-but-restrained Long Pond with good integrated strength. The common gripe: oak turns a touch bitter and drying, and it doesn't quite reach the top ITP releases.

  5. Best for: Fans of funky Fiji pot still and cask strength

    Well-liked Fiji with a big fruity nose and a warm, spicy palate. The recurring catch: the Cognac finish and alcohol run dominant, and the mouth reads a little thin.

  6. Best for: People who want an easy, affordable way into TDL's minty Trinidad style

    Loved as the price-to-quality find of the year and a friendly entry to TDL. Classic mint-menthol-fruit profile; the main gripe is the reduced strength and a shortish, oaky-dry finish.

  7. Best for: Fans of funky, fruit-forward aged Jamaican

    Loved as a punchy, tropical old Clarendon — pineapple, banana, roasted wood and a dry, medicinal edge. The catch: it drinks intense for 51.5%, and some found it more admirable than lovable.

  8. Best for: Fans of fruity, cask-driven aged Jamaican rum

    Loved as a smooth, fruity old Long Pond, but many feel misled by "Extreme" — the ester and funk are almost absent, and some find the wood and heat sharp.

  9. Best for: People who want an intense, spicy, high-ABV rum and are open to an atypical St. Lucia

    Well-liked but rarely loved. Most call it tasty and spicy with concentrated caramel, though many feel it lacks the concentration and dirty depth of St. Lucia's pot-still bottlings, and the finish rides on alcohol.

  10. Best for: Fans of funky Fiji pot still and glue-and-rubber character

    Well-liked, unusual 2001 Fiji — tobacco, tropical fruit, glue and a minty finish. Most agree it's very good but sits a step under the vintage's front-runners.

  11. Best for: Newcomers and fans of sweet, coconut-forward sipping rum

    Beloved as a first rum: coconut, vanilla and caramel in a soft, sweet package. Most agree it's easy and pleasant, but experienced drinkers find it too sweet and short on complexity.

  12. Best for: People who like sweet, creamy spiced rums and dessert sippers

    People are divided: sweet-tooth drinkers find it a smooth, creamy vanilla-coconut treat, while others call the vanilla artificial and the whole thing far too sweet to read as real rum.
