Awesome. Keep up the great work. Funny enough, the only one of those rums I don't have is the Don Q. By the way, I got two bottles of Rhum Bolongne. One of the black Cane and one of their baseline offerings. Since I tasted the first time, I've been microdosing it day after day. It was one of the most interesting rums I've ever tasted.

🤯 i can never wrap my brain around how cheap you can buy amazing bottles for!

Thank you for this! I'm a Bourbon drinker, but have always wanted to get into rums.

When I first saw the title of this video, I though "Uh oh, here we go"... I was wrong. These are great recommendations for the reasons that you state. A good variety of representations of what rum is and can be. Well done.

Great selection but imho miss Ron Abuelo 7 years old. Panama’s gift to to the drinking world. Not too dry, not too sweet, great mixer, yummy on a rock or two.

I have all of these, you’re pretty much on point!

Appleton 12 year got me into appreciate what Rum is. I’ve been doing research and trying new bottles here and there.

I THOUGHT the El Dorado 12 changed! I wasn’t a fan until I tried it again this year and fell in love. Didn’t rate it before so thanks for telling me my palate isn’t completely savage 😂

My neighbor gave me a bottle of Goslings Black Seal rum bottled in the 70's. Haven't tried it yet but will do so soon. Thinking of buying a new bottle to compare.

I have the Appleton Estate 12 and Doorly’s 12 on my shelf, both are fantastic

If you had to pick one rum from this list to start with, what would it be?

😁🙌🏻🥃

Great review for the "rum curious" crowd, like me!! You mentioned "no added sugar" for the first two bottles, do the other bottles have added sugar?? Thanks!

Zaya and Cruzan Single Barrel has always been good to my taste buds

hey, loving the vids doing my own rum journey, I've yet to try some of these, barbancourt and don Q are definitely two i think i might love. jealous of your collection and being able to access the US market but I imagine the UK has some you miss out on too. Manchester Rumfest again this year can't wait

I have 8 of these. DOORLYS 12 is my favorite rum

I love dos maderas 5+5

Hi Brian, i have been on my journey a little while now, thats a good selection. My fav and one i keep coming back to is the Doorleys 12, you just cant go wrong. I also like the Rhum jm its amazing the aged flavour and slight funkieness they got from a pure agrcole. Recently had Appletons 8, not a bad sipper but new favourite mixer is Kingston 62😅 what do others favour? Great vid

Love the video.  Nice list succinctly presented.  I’m more of a whiskey guy and jumped into the deep end years ago with the Foursquare exceptional cask series.  Need to try some of these but the last thing I need is another distilled spirits obsession!

Lots of delicious rums up there! Appleton 12 is my fav
