98 points Wine Enthusiast: "The bouquet sparkles with notes of bark, oak, brown sugar, bacon fat, sautéed banana and maple. The palate entry is creamy, toffee-like and silky; the midpalate offers flavors of pastry, chocolate fudge, nougat, chestnut and honey.

The Old Fashioned Traditional Dark rum from Planteray (formerly Plantation) is a recreation of the most traditional style of English rums, bottled at a full 20 points over proof. The big, rich pot still style that was popular in the age of the sail is all but lost to the modern age of light and flavored rums. Thankfully a group of cocktail historians and industry professionals have worked to bring it back to life. The salty band of misfits brought together by Maison Ferrand's Alexander Gabriel are famous in tiki circles and beyond: Jeff Berry, Martin Cat...

SHAKARA was produced from molasses derived from locally grown sugarcane and distilled in column still. The name comes from the sanscrit word for sugar - shakar. This 12-year-old rum owes its remarkable opulence and maturity of expression to the entirely tropical aging it undergoes in the province of Nakhon Pathom. This fertile region of central Thailand has been growing sugar cane since the Neolithic era. Thailand currently is among the top sugar cane producers along with Brazil and China. The Nakhon Pathom region experiences average annual temperatures...

Michel Sajous built his distillery, Chelo, where his family had cultivated cane since the 1960s on 30 hectares of land outside of Saint Michel de l'Attalaye, 100 miles north of Port-au-Prince. The small plantation is planted to many varietals of cane. The primary cultivar is Crystal, the same type used at Neisson on Martinique. Here, production is 100% organic with no chemicals or artificial fertilizers used of any kind. The cane is collected by hand and pressed immediately. The juice is sometimes concentrated slightly using steam, which allows the disti...

This exceptional and affordable Jamaican Rum is exactly what the world needs. Brought in by the wonderful Two James Distillery in Detroit, this Worthy Park distillate is aged for 6+ years in Jamaica before being shipped to Michigan and filled into fresh Moscatel Sherry Casks. Full of estery goodness, the Moscatel casks round out those intense aromas. Bright, fresh tropical fruit, hints of citrus, pineapple, passion fruit and rich caramel to balance. At 100 proof it stands up nicely in a drink, but has plenty of depth and character to sip straight or on t...

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Created with input from New York mixologist Jim Meehan, a partner in the brand, this blend of 21 rums from five rum-producing countries—Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados, Java and Guyana—would make a dynamite daiquiri. Bright lime flavors meld with warm brown-sugar notes and a funky, pleasantly spicy note on the finish.

The Arawaks Distillery is located in the village of Cavaillon in the southern or "Sud" province of Haiti. There Fritz Vaval harvests cane for his special rum by hand. The hand-cut cane, in this case of the varietal "Madame Meuze," is collected pressed and into the fermenters within a few hours. The rustic open-air distillery creates the perfect conditions for spontaneous wild fermentation and the incredibly volatile soup of fresh sugarcane juice feeds numerous yeast and bacteria that live naturally on the cane and in the distillery. The wart is distilled...

ne of the very best unaged agricole rhums available. From the historic JM distillery on the far-flung northern coast of Martinque, this is easily on of the best values in this expensive and labor intensive style of rhum production. JM has long been considered one of the island's finest, and we're incredibly lucky to be able to offer it at this incredible price. 96 points Beverage Testing Institute: "Clear color. Aromas of underripe guava, grilled artichoke, water chestnuts, and marjoram with a round, lively, dry medium body and a peppery, complex, very l...

Three carefully selected rums from around the world come together to showcase Kuleana Rum Works blending chops. A 2 year old bourbon barrel aged base rum of Guatemala molasses distillate is combined with 3 year old Molasses rum from Guadeloupe. The entire blend is set off with an accent of 4+ year old El Salvadorian rum. Bottled with no sugar, coloring, or additives of any kind, this is pure rum that can be enjoyed in many ways. Start with a neat drink and then let your tiki flag fly.

This white rum, assembled by Kuleana Rum Works on the Big Island of Hawaii is a lovely marriage of molasses based Papua New Guinea distillate with Kuleana's own Agricole and an accent of Martinique Agricole. While they don't provide the percentage breakdown of the blend, all it takes is one sip to appreciate how well put together it is. No sugar, colorings or flavorings of any kind have been added.

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "The producer describes this blend of two particularly aromatic, intense rums as 'unapologetically funky.' That’s an accurate description for this amber-hued rum, which opens with bright tropical fruit aromas and a drying cedar-and-maple palate. Overall, the effect is that of ripe banana drizzled with maple and sprinkled with nutmeg and cayenne.

El Dorado Rum is made by Demerara Distillers Limited in Guyana, South America, which is perhaps the single greatest rum producer on the planet. Having operated since the 1600s, it supplied the British Royal Navy with rum for more than 200 years, and the Diamond Estate Distillery still churns out a variety of spirits today. DDL's historic stills, built in the 18th and 19th centuries, are still in operation and produce a number of amazing flavors. The deliciously supple 12-year-old uses medium-bodied rums from the Savalle still (a very unique column still ...

Wine Enthusiast: "An agricole rhum from Oaxaca, the region better known for mezcal, this is an exciting proposition. The liquid is clear in the glass, with a pungent, funky scent and bold notes of banana and cinnamon on the palate, finishing fiery, though with a pleasing, fleeting grassy exhale. (KN)" (06/2018) Wine & Spirits: "From the misty Mazateca mountains of Oaxaca comes a rum so beautifully expressive of sugar cane that it might just make people forget about agave.

Many think of the Rums produced in the French Caribbean as the cane-juice-based product known as "Rum Agricole." However, the vast majority of the Rum distilled at these special distilleries is actually made from molasses. The stringent regulations on Agricole restrict production to certain seasons and quantities. Distillers in these regions spend the rest of the year making more standard Rums. A percentage of those molasses-based Rums are fermented longer, in order to to produce a more intense and powerfully flavored blending Rhum. The legendary "Grande...

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "A top pick for tiki and tropical drinks, this practically begs for lime juice. Scented with warm honey notes, the palate shows lots of brown sugar and spice, plus an enticingly untamed, funky finish (the fabled 'hogo'). Since it’s 'Navy Strength,' you might not want to sip it straight up—the producer wisely recommends exploring the profile first in a daiquiri—though it’s smooth and interesting enough if you want to try.

This is first-class Guatemalan rum made from virgin sugar cane honey (the first press of the sugar cane that's boiled down), rather than molasses, which is a byproduct of the sugar-making process. This results in a finer, sweeter, smoother rum. Aged in the solera method, like sherry, the Zacapa Centenario is very dark mahogany with coppery tints and has a clove, cocoa, cinnamon, and orange peel-scented nose. The palate is sweet with cocoa, orange, and honey flavors and a sensuous, viscous texture. It finishes long and smooth. It received 97 points from t...

Founded by Trinidadian Marc Farrel, Ten To One seeks to redefine and already indescribable category. Ten To One takes its name from a phrase by Dr. Eric Williams, Trinidad and Tobago's legendary first Prime Minister. When rallying to preserve the first Caribbean federation of 10 countries, he famously said, "One from ten leaves zero," reflecting the idea that the island nations were stronger together than apart. The name also speaks to overcoming great odds and the "beauty in the blend." The white rum category is impossible to generalize about, but Ten T...

A classic made from raw demerara sugar in Guyana, this bottling is historically relevant because Lemon Hart was the original supplier of rum to the British Royal Navy.

Tiki bars like Smuggler's Cove in SF are buying dozens of cases to use as the foundation for their drinks. After this batch it may not be seen again for some time.

Not to be confused with Lebanese Arak (an anise-flavored spirit similar to Ouzo) or Sri Lankan Arak (a distilled palm wine made from coconut milk), Batavia Arrack is a Javanese/Dutch distilled spirit made from sugarcane and fermented red rice.

The profile is heavily centered on molasses, maple, and treacle. This is a serious step up from the clear Puerto Rican 151s that most people are familiar with.
