Aw c'mon reviewers... Here's the deal. To establish a credible review site takes years and many thousands of dollars of growingly expensive products. And I mean many thousands of dollars (soon to lose value and dominance to yen). In sum we reviewers need product, and product producers and distribut...

There seems to be just two kinds of reviewers... or maybe three: 1. The ego-maniac: on most sites you'll run into the alpha posters. These are a kind of self-designated "inner circle". They are the drunken sailors, the captains who take over the end of the bar, dominant know it alls. On a...

Thanks Russ. The M to Z rum tests are in the same general section, but you're right - they were not linked from the "A to L" page. The M to Z tests are at:

And welcome back... please spread the word...

Great stuff my friend... such is life. Is it the same product and profile?

"Hogo" needs to Go-go... This term - like me - is sadly dated. I used to follow the rum reviewers meticulously and I can still remember when I first came upon the term, whose antecedent was the term "funk". It was used by a certain Canadian reviewer - whose reviews were more int...

Rogue Rum is "rogue"... ...mostly because it is one of the few major categories where dishonesty and deception is common and almost the norm. Age statements are unreliable. Most rums are secretly adulterated with unlabelled sugar, glycerol, vanilla and other flavoring, excessive use of co...

Well Viper... I've not been in Lauderdale for a couple years, traveling the eastern US to find my cruising sailboat, then living in Mexico for awhile, back near Lake Erie. I see you do like a few sugared rums, particularly the Riise which is better described as mixing your sugar with a bit of rum, l...

The Plantation Rums have always been mostly altered - and substantially - with sugar. Check the Master Sugar List here at the Project: https://rumproject.com/rumforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1683 If you agree that the PG is sugared, feel free to start a new topic in this section and tell us all abo...

Hola amigo!

I've been a Floridian for twenty years - south Florida. Welcome. Perhaps one day we'll share a cigar, a cafe cubano and flan at the Versaille on Calle Ocho. What are your favorite rums?

Basil Hayden's Straight Bourbon Whiskey: Let there be light! Marketing Drivel: Basil Hayden’s Bourbon is one of four bourbons that comprise Jim Beam’s Small Batch Bourbon Collection. The others are Knob Creek, Baker’s Bourbon, and Booker’s Bourbon. Basil Hayden’s falls first in line proof-wise at 8...

Grant's Triple Wood: "Dark Chocolate" Let's face it. We live in a corporately driven world where "value" is driven by marketing. In the wacky world of rum, some of the most expensive rums are the most altered with sugar and all manner of flavoring additives. Bourbon is absolutel...

With the exception of some of the Project's crew, rum suffers from lack of serious attention and tasting... To date, we've done our best to rectify that, as the Project's goal has always been twofold: first, to recognize truly pure and honest rums (devoid of illegal alteration with sugar and flavor...

At last... Going back a few years and when I was more active here, I made several attempts to present the illegal alteration problem with rum, specifically sugaring and the addition of unlabelled flavorings. At that time, his attentions were elsewhere, obviously with whisky. No longer. By pure happ...

Sounds terrific. Sadly, we are quarantined in a state that controls all liquor and Foursquare is not sold here. Question: the addition of water should of course take away a bit of the proof burn. But almost more importantly each addition should change the integration, balance and release or emphasiz...
