I’ve been considering blind buying a Cadenheads bottling of Caroni 21 year old 55 abv, would you recommend rum from Caroni distillery, Ralfy? Comment from : John |
|
👍❤️🥃 Comment from : Swedish Burrito 🇸🇪 |

I just tried one of those Fijian Rums you spoke about in one of your vids, it is a bit of a revelation, 'Bounty Rum' please consider it for one of your tastings, if you can get hold of it i am certain you will not be disappointed, can't be so bold as to attempt a guess at a rating Thanks Ralfy without listening to your opinion i would have never tried this rum and many others, so i appreciate it Comment from : little stones |

Ralfly, watched you for a long time, but fact is, better quality spirits make more refined and better balanced cocktails You don't need anything over $40, but don't go cheap Comment from : JFrost |
|
Hey Ralfy, I love rum and would like to recommend Santisima Trinidad 15 year It is a solera age statement but it tastes bloody delicious, better even than Diplomatico and El Dorado 12 year Comment from : Paul K |
|
Zacapa, Santa Teresa, Barbancourt Comment from : Daniel Y Ruby |
|
Love the Dalek and Cyberman LOL! Comment from : Dave Harris |

Madagascar is Indian Ocean not Pacific Comment from : Ian Beddowes |

Lovely Table of some fine Rum's Re Sweetness not just the young all us old folks with raised Blood sugars who love Rum Great Message to the producers Sir Comment from : boyse69 |

He is right about everything Solera has little of the oldest rums in there, and drier rums are all the rave in the rum world I love Ralfy Reviews His channel inspired me to make my own Comment from : Ready Set Rum! |

Come on, gimme the truth, Ralfy Are there additives in the Criterion Rum? I'm really interested in that spirit - a rum I can sip Thank you Comment from : freddy vargas |
|
I enjoy a Bundaberg OP Comment from : Jester Mclarpet |
|
Ralfy, you should have gone to "Specsavers" By the way my favorite rum is the Wood's 100 Comment from : David MacGregor |
|
I definitely want to try the one from India I also do not plan on being pregnant anytime soon Comment from : Drew |
|
I love good rumbrThank you for this Comment from : Alexander Bertallo |
|
Although I do agree that when you drink cocktails, the finer notes of the premium aged rums get cancelled out, there still is a big difference in drinking a coke with a Cheaper Rum like Bacardi Superior and something like a Barbancourt or Ron Del Barrilito The Premium Rums still do lend a finer more appealing flavor to whatever u are mixing it with and you will not get a hangover like you will with a cheaper Rum Comment from : Eric B |
|
This video was helpful, thanks Comment from : M P |
|
The Foursquare Criterion is a good rum It's not a "single estate" rum Comment from : scouser8 |
|
Havana Club 7 Comment from : D Anton |
|
Although a staunch fan of Diplomatico, I 've found a nice surprise in rums from Mauritius: Labourdonnais and Chamarel Comment from : JI |
|
Mount Gay has probably one of the best price/value ratios among rums Comment from : Ara Ara |
|
I like your video mate, ehem 👌 cheers! I like neat as well Comment from : ぬらりひょん |
|
I haven't watched any of your videos for a while but I have to say, they are absolutely unique as always! You are a gem, Ralfy! A national treasure! Comment from : Snowynz |

28:18 "and this is a big butt" Comment from : DrumDisciple1 |
|
Ron zacapa or Zaya are really just all you need ! brJust my opinion🤪 (original Zaya not the crap they are making now) Comment from : Paul Singh |
|
After traveling to Nicaragua I discovered Flor de Cana Now my favorite Interesting presentation of some rums I have never heard of and will try to hunt down for comparison Comment from : Robert W Bates |
|
There is not much rum produced in Russia, since Russian cold climate does not support growing sugar cane very well Just sayin', Ralfy Comment from : Daniel Ryslink |
|
Don't want to be "that" person but both Madagascar and Mauritius are in the Indian Ocean not the Pacific Comment from : discoverydavid |
|
Here in Vermont U S A we have a problem with Maple syrup if it pure or made up of Karo syrup extract FAKE , so I not bought whiskey with maple flavor so be a where of , ! ( It's only my opinion ingredients of importance facts ) thanks Ralfy Comment from : alan lapan |
|
Plantation is now one of my faves bought a bottle of the XO 20th Anniversary last year Amazing stuff Comment from : A Grain of Malt |
|
One that should be right up your alleyBalvenie Caribbean Cask It’s Balvenie scotch finished in rum casks for the final maturation Very smooth with only a very small hint of rum flavor 43 abv, btwbrYummmm Comment from : Thomas Blevins |
|
what about ron zacapa 23? Comment from : Robert Thompson |
|
Ralfy, what a nice collection! :) Comment from : Daniel Dankanič |
|
How about some ole Bacardi Comment from : MrPsmooth |
|
Sounds like good scotch reasoning is often used to describe women Comment from : Purr Cat |
|
I was just given a bottle of Westerhall Estate Plantation Rum It has a hand written serial number, 21708 Drinks like good single malt I can't find it anywhere Not at Westerhall, but maybe I missed it Comment from : Purr Cat |
|
I rarely sit through a 30 minute video, but, Ralfy, your presentation had me riveted I have been enjoying Cross Keys 5 year old Barbados Rum, lately Not so much sipping, but mixing with Pepsi Comment from : wclaurence |
|
God I can't find any of thesebrbrEdit: I can find the Mount Gay @ $150 No thanks Comment from : PhatTrumpet2 |
|
You should try Tanduay Superior Rum Good stuff in my opinion from the Phillipines Comment from : Ryan Harper |
|
Havana club Seleccion de Maestros is one of the best "bang for your buck" sippers I've tasted Very smooth at 45 abv not overly sweet (It's Barrel proof they just do not call it that anymore) and I get bottles around $52usd br1703 I have a bottle it's okay but I rarely reach for it Seleccion better in my opinion brI grew up drinking Appleton's so the 21 year is my #1 The Appleton flavor profile simply is what rum is supposed to taste like for me brbrBig up Jamaica! Comment from : Alexander K |
|
As a rum sipper, I just happened up on your review Really enjoyed it Comment from : Anthony White |
|
Does your saying about cheap rum to set a baseline also carry over to whisky, as in buying a cheap generic bottle to compare to a better bottle? Comment from : Duke Wheeler |
|
Actually imo, Good Cognacs are above all other drinks in sophistication The problem is, to get a really good one , it costs a lot more for some reason XO Cognacs (avg 12yo) here in Canada run 50-100 more than the already expensive similarly aged malts, perhaps they just price them to what the market can bear Comment from : Trespasser |
|
Africa & Madagascar aren't bordering the Pacific you're thinking of the Indian Ocean :') Comment from : NZAnimeManga |
|
nice one ralfy, 19:40 mount gay produce an excellent rum pretty much their whole line of products you cant go wrong, even their white rum is ok for cocktails and the like, far superior to bacardi im a rum freak and always carry an eclipse or black barrel for mixing moving up the line though 1703 is around the same price as el dorado 21 id be edging towards the el dorado mount gay is great but el dorado is just superb pair it with a good cigar or some nice chocolate and its happy days Comment from : Derp |
|
I dont say it enough but this particular review is fuckin banging , spot on man ! Comment from : L S |
|
No El Dorado? Comment from : Dany Jolicoeur |
|
The way you said "daiquiri" was amazing! Comment from : Steven Vincent |
|
I'm not surprised ralfy goes to rum after scotch the quality is higher than other spirits period also rums that have been aged in casks for years have a lower price than whiskys of any sort that were aged in casks pair the fact that rum has a naturally a sweet flavor but can be made as dry as you would like and you can get them oaked into any age statement you want its a clear winner to me keep your scotch i get 27 year old rum for 30$ out here Comment from : Travis Guide |
|
My journey with spirits started with rum I’ve had many, but I think the most impressive rum I’ve ever had was the Appleton 21 Comment from : Mr Sotack |
|
Bumbu Sweet, tastes and smells like butterscotch Comment from : tjgusta |
|
AH RIISE is the best rum ive ever tried Comment from : Somero |
|
Hmmm I kinda want a bottle of mount gay xo for Xmas but I don't see it here has it gone down in quality? Comment from : N A |
|
I absolutely disagree with you on the subject of the quality of the spirit not making a difference in a cocktail This is "old thinking" - ie "if you're making a cocktail reach for the cheapest stuff you can find since its just a cocktail" Just try a manhattan with a basic rye vs a high end rye Or a Daiquiri They're miles apart A good cocktail is just - as many other things - a sum of its parts Like your reviews on rum especially where you showcase many of the best - non sugared - brand out there Keep it up! Comment from : llcoolmartine |
|
Try 'Old Monk Rum' please an Indian Rum Comment from : Sapan Jani |
|
Woods and coke is the bees knees by the way Comment from : TruePrinceOfWales |
|
Been looking forward to more rum stuff from you Ralfy, Thanks Good video Comment from : TruePrinceOfWales |
|
Hi Ralfy, I just watched your review a second time, I'm sure now you didn't comment on the FAIR rum that is on top of the stack Comment from : Marcus Badoyo |
|
You missed Tanduay from the Philippines While they produce some very cheap rums for local consumption, they also produce some exceptional rums such as a 15 year old Comment from : Charles Perry |
|
Ralfy, great review as usual Have you tried the Watlings rums from the Bahamas? wwwjohnwatlingscom/ Comment from : Todd Hostager |
|
Someone said to me recently: "I like scotch better than bourbon, and I like rum better than brandy" Somehow this quote resonates with me in that it indirectly captures what bquality-produced/b rum has become: a highly likely malternative! And to those whisk(e)y fans who are understandably suspicious, the answer is simple: a quality example of anything makes one an avid enthusiast of everything Thanks to Ralfy for enhancing our quality of life & the diversity of our lived experience Comment from : Michael Tortorich |
|
The appleton estate 21 is some very very good rum, I really love that stuff Comment from : JayJ |
|
is there such a thing as peated rum? Comment from : JayJ |
|
Ralphy, the camera iris needs a wee bit of adjustment The light colored labels are washed out Comment from : Rubicon Five |
|
You've got to try Richland Rum from here in Georgia, USA Made from 100 sugar cane syrup, distilled in refluxy copper pot stills, and aged in new charred oak casks Its oak character makes it sip like a bourbon, but with an addictive buttery sweetness Not sure if you can get it there, but it's worth seeking out Comment from : Ric |
|
Ralfy! I have a great idea for you Travel to another location on the Isle of Mann where there is a traditional "Bothy" of the same kind of character as your own, and give us a tour with a roving video like you're carrying the camera, you're outside, you're showing us around, etc That would be awesome!brbrAs I've mentioned previously, skip all that for your own Bothy, and keep your location private for obvious reasonsbrbrStill we never mentioned, you could show us some other traditional Bothy outside and inbrbrCheers Comment from : Raster |
|
Great review as always Ralfy! I've decided to take a punt at the 'Bellevue 17 Year Old' Tasteing notes on the more well known online shops seem fascinating :) been more of a malt mate than rum rascal really but tried the 'El Dorado 15' recently and it certainly was better than the other cheaper stuff I've had before Looking forward to the review!! Comment from : ACT-one |
|
Nice stuff Ralfy really like you getting the word out about rumbrbrA few points which may interest those wanting to drink "pure" rums I'm not going to go all holier than thou with it - its just informationbrbrThe Sikkim "rum" is likely neutral spirit tarted up with additives - its the way rums from that part of the world all seem to be made eg Old Port Rum from Amrut and Old Monk from Mohan Meakin Woods 100 rum on the other hand is heavily coloured but NOT dosed with sugar or molasses Some of the rum in the blend is very young and very sweet Also unlike most other Navy style rums - Woods is a blend but only of Demerara rums - mainly from the Enmore/Versailles and Port Mourant stills now at DDL (Demerara Distillers Limited - or the Diamond Distillery if you like) There is no Jamaican or Bajan rum in the blend It's an excellent value mixer but not a sipperbrbrHavana Club rums are occasionally dosed with sugar A more common practice is to use wine (sweet wine) as part of the blend Ron Zacapa use every trick under the sun Their stuff is overpriced rubbish The Plantation line are all pretty much dosed with a sugar syrup except for OFTD which is a 69 "mixing" rumbrbrThe Pussers 15 Year Old is rum from the Port Mourant still at DDL It is sweetened The gunpowder is as you say the best of the lot Its excellentbrbrAs is the way with rum its very difficult getting this information - a lot can't be verified without expensive laboratory tests It takes a lot of reading and time to learn all about the nonsense that goes on with rum With you being primarily a whisky enthusiast I appreciate you won't be quite as obsessed as I ambrbrbrKeep up the good work though Ralfy!brbrPS I'd love a tot of that Caroni Comment from : thefatrumpirate |
|
I don't experiment much with brands of rum My favourite is Mount Gay, from Jamaica, and love the sticky sweet texture Bundeburg, Australian rum, is a great rum but lacks the X-factor Cheers Ralphy Comment from : DooGesWiZarDofOz |
|
My local beverage shop has the Foursquare aged in Bourbon+Zinfandel wine casks Wondering if it is worth $60 for a rum newbie Comment from : Pete |
|
You should try Khukuri Rum from NepalWe locals drink this rum when anyone catch cold, during cold weatherWe Nepalese have a saying that it can cure cold😄 Comment from : Facem ply |
|
Interesting, I also started backing off on bourbon/scotch and drinking more rum (and gin martinis) recently Sailor Jerry Spiced Navy Rum is my current favorite Comment from : Ryan Barnhart |
|
You should review Rock Town Gin (either the original or Barrel Aged)! Comment from : quidocetbenediscit |
|
Can you advise a nice smooth scotch for me ? I like Gentleman Jack very much, but I would like a Scotch single malt , that is even smootherbrIt should be widely available also Thank you for your advice Comment from : Irina Lazar |
|
Ralfy I noticed that you didn't do the review of the Monkey ShoulderbrHaven't tried it but heard really good stuff about it being great single malt blendbrCould you give us your as always honest opinion? Comment from : Nikola Popovic |
|

hey ralphy what do you think of the Angostura 1919 rum? and the brand in general Comment from : Lendyl Garcia |
|
Ralfy, not sure if it's reached the UK yet, but keep an eye out for Paranubes It's a small producer Mexican cane rum from Oaxaca that has an exceptional nose and a fantastic balanced flavor Comment from : razumov22 |
|
Have you tried any Aussie rums ralfy? Anything you consider worthy? Forgive us for the existence of Bundaberg if you've had the misfortune of trying that! Comment from : Flint and Ball |
|
Hi Ralfy!brbrHave you tried any japanese rum? Do you recommend any? I've heard they have good soil for sugar cane in the islands in the south, and that they have been making rum agricole and since they became so good at making whisky, maybe their rum is in the same track regarding qualitybrbrCheers from Brasil! Comment from : Victor D |
|
Any chance you've tried Sailor Jerry Rum? Wondering your thoughts Comment from : Aaron |
|
Love these non-scotch reviews! Comment from : Mark W |
|
Plantation rum is excellent Comment from : eric gilbert |
