Privateer The Queen's Share Single Cask
Most tasters land around 8/10 here: a caramel-forward, bourbon-leaning American rum with bright citrus running through it — orange peel, "creamsicle," a touch of pineapple and oak. The higher proof keeps the sweetness in check. The honest grumble is that it reads a bit one-dimensional and the finish runs short for some, with the alcohol not fully tucked away.
The community says- Bright citrus note
- Caramel and vanilla
- Short finish

The look inside the bottle
How does Privateer The Queen's Share Single Cask taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Citrus-heavy, bourbon-style American sipper Well-liked as a citrus-and-caramel, bourbon-style rum. Most enjoy it neat or in an old fashioned; the recurring catch is a short finish and a slightly one-note sweet profile.

Review by Timo Groeger
To be honest, this one is better than expected. A relatively sweet nose consisting mainly of caramel. Also spicy and woody. The palate is also sweet in the form of caramel, honey and chocolate.
Review by Alvin Rodriguez
It’s an incredible rum but I was a bit disappointed when it came to taste, just because I have such a high bar for Privateer. On the nose it was not disappointing at all! It was up there with what you would expect from the hands-down best North American rum producer. I got very defined creamsicle, which doubles as orange peel and zest. Also got lightly toasted oak, vanilla bean, wheated bourbon (reminded me a lot of Weller SP), cherry gummy bear, teriyaki beef jerky and a bit of honey. On the palate, like I said, not as impressive for me as other Privateers I’ve tried, but still amazingly delicious! I got very mild sweetness, but also dried lime, rye-whiskey kind of spiciness, and some honey. I found it very Spanish-style like, which I love. The taste could be comparable with Don Q Gran Añejo but just a tiny bit more deep. The finish was kind of long and spicy with rye, more rye, and some wood tea.
Review by Mentalo
Alcohol could be much better integrated. Slightly caramel sweetness covers a lot, but I've had that with every Privateer bottling so far. In addition, however, comes a really intense pineapple note. Not really a bad rum, but remains just one-dimensional.
Review by FL_RumRunner
A truly fantastic selection. This one stuck out to me with much more notable citrus than almost any other rum I’ve had, but in a very positive way. That was the most notable scent with some other lighter sweeter notes. The taste was similar with the citrus notes while being very smooth.
Review by Ian Gilman
A great rum that is served well by the higher proof that helps balance the sweeter caramel and spice notes. Wish the finish was a bit longer, but was nonetheless great neat and in an old fashioned.
Review by Tim
A sweet rum with a strong bourbon barrel influence (apple, caramel, vanilla). There is also a hint of smoke, which you have to like. For me, this is always borderline. Drinking strength is quite good.
Review by MarcT
Privateer seems often to attend the typical US consumer, having a Rum that is appealing to those who during Bourbon and the likes. This one is solid, nothing extraordinary, with a Bourbon and citrus note. Alcohol is noticeable, but it does go well with some water. The fi ish, unfortunately, is quite short.
