Comment from : Steve the Barman - RUM

Steve, have you tried The RL Seal's 12 46ABV ? For some or other reason this one is hard to find anywhere and I just can't understand why Maybe down to some limited release? My top so far is RL Seal's 10 yo and i recon the 12yo version might be a bit too interesting

I love Foursquare!

Great information,keep up the good work!👍
Comment from : Rares Solomon

I have a bottle of Flor De Cana 12 from a few years ago that was maybe half full I decided I need to get back to using it, so I tried sipping it first but wasn't really on board Felt very muted compared to other rums, and I was getting a chocolately note I decided to use it as a mixer now and have been enjoying it both in rum and cokes as well as rum and pineapple For the price, I'm probably going to stick with Flor De Cana 7 The rest of these (at least the ones I can get here in the US) are all excellent sippers!

Comment from : Holdens Horses

Thanks a lot Steve, for your educational and cognitive reviews) I'm a newbie to rum but having been a deep rooted whisky drinker for years (I'm 62), seem to be aquiring the real taste for decent sipping rums But my pallate is rather on the drier side than on the sickly sweet side I can't say i've tried loads of rum but i've already started collecing that "stuff" in my " wheel house")))By now i've already got 5 various rums-Plantation X0 (even on the drier side , i liked it a lot), Matusalem 23, 15, Viejo de Caldas 15, Havana Club Seleccion de Maesro Barrel Proof (45ABV), and my latest aсquisition was Dillon XO (9yo) agricole from Martinique The only rum i've disliked in my "rum journey" was "Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva'(turned out way way too sweet for me) Prices in Moscow(Russia) are quite resonable for some (40 dollars on sale for Plantation X0 and 55 for Matusalem 23 in one of a liquor store) and unreasonable for others (Doorly's 12 at 70 bucks,)but yet others disappeared at all (such as Appleton Estate 12) as to Dillon XO agricole- around 40 bucks Thanks again for your "sweetshop labour" If you've tried any of the listed above, i wonder what you"ve liked except for "Plantation" XO Cheers!

Im a whisky drinker looking for some starter sipping Rums Sounds like the Flor de Caña 12 is a good all rounder for the pricebrWhere would go start with for a reasonably priced cask strength rum?
Comment from : Neil Anderson

I'm still new at all of this I really like Doorly's 12 but now I want to try the Appleton 12 and Flor De Cana 12 to compare Both of those are easily available in Denver
Comment from : Kyle Norman

Whats your proportion in a rum & coke?2 to 1? 3 to 1? 4 to 1? Salud🍻🇲🇽
Comment from : Cocteleando Ando

Flor de Cana is my go-to rum mate! I've never tried Ron Cubay rum
Comment from : The River Pirate 13

Hi Steve, I am a newbie, which sugar free ron, stong mit smooth, would yoy recommend? I tried Flor de Cana 12 years, nice, bit a bit todo smooth in my Opinion, thanks!
Comment from : Hans Joachim

Hello Steve I have been watching this channel with increasing interest As a Whiskey / Bourbon drinker, I have a growing interest in Rum as a diversified path toward wider taste notes other than caramel and vanilla I have tried Diplomatico, Smith & Cross and a few others and found them all too sweet Can you recommend three brands in the £40 to £60 range, that can be found readily available (Whiskey Exchange, Master of Malt etc), that you would rank as THE LEAST SWEET I would appreciate your input here Steve
Comment from : BourgeoisCapitalist

I would like to have seen these ranked as an old fashioned
Comment from : Kevin Tracz

A masterpiece
Comment from : Ramen Curry

You had it on the bar Flordecana12
Comment from : Scott Gibson

That's so funny Flor is my go to rum and coke! It really does pair so well together
Comment from : Lance Valencia

Plantation XO is my go to ❤
Comment from : Kevin

QUESTION: Your rum collection is simply immaculate Which mollasses-based aged sipping rum is your favorite above 50 pounds?
Comment from : Donald Surtain Jr

The Real McCoy 5 Year Distiller's Proof Single Blended Rum satisfied my palate perfectly!
Comment from : Carey Frisch

Loved the Appleton 12 year "Rare Blend" and thought it was close to the 21 year for a quarter of the price!, but I'm really disappointed by the "Rare Casks"
Comment from : ElNeo9778

Favourite 12yr old atm would be Doorleys 🥃🥃🥃
Comment from : Derek Amos

Nice break down! I understand you liked them all and they're unique in their own way but there really should've been a winner 😁Cheers
Comment from : Phil C

I tried the 8 year Bacoo rum and really liked it Was looking at the 12year to try but thanks for this video
Comment from : SpittinSquirrel

12yrs Dorleys
Comment from : michael Mcinnis

Hey mate, what are those little thingys next to your head with the upside down plantation logo on it? This is killing me for so Long i have to know 😅
Comment from : Pan Alkoholowy

I'm subscribed because you know your shhh! Cheers 🧉!
Comment from : j P

Why did you say Angostura is loosely a 12 year old?
Comment from : Ready Set Rum!

I came from whisky which explains why el Dorado 12 and Doorlys 14 are my favourite rums
Comment from : Andrew Mainprice

Lovely video: u made the comparison SO exciting ! many thx i am ASTOUNDED and AMZED u could pick out that MUCH flavours once mixed in coke, dak,
Comment from : timothy t thomas

Of everything I'm craving during my hiatus, it's sipping Appelton 12 year!
Comment from : Trevor Rose

Appleton 12 YO – smells exactly like the Dunder in the Distillery in Jamaica, therefore reminds me to a nice visit at Appleton Estate
Comment from : Lutz Lungershausen

I haven't tried Cubay orDoorly's, so ED12 is definitely my favorite and I'm not a whiskey lover/drinker, but I do love the woody notes, either neat or with coke, that's my 100 go to Rum
Comment from : Corvarc

Nice to see some more affordable sipping rums get their due
Comment from : stockicide

Interesting video I am a sipping rum man rather than cocktail of these Flur De Canna and Cobay would be my stand out picks El Darado 15 is much better than the 12 I really don't enjoy Plantation, and not a massive fan of Appelton But it's all a matter of mood and palatebrThink you should have included an aged acricole
Comment from : Geraint Lewis

Hey steve,do u know DON PAPA RUM?i love it,regards,
Comment from : 〰️🔘〰️Doctor Tremulants Laboratory〰️🔘〰️

The timing on this video was perfect! Considering a few bottles in the $50 range to get myself for my birthday and I kept coming back to the plantation XO Thank you for making this even easier for me!
Comment from : KevGotti

Another awesome video Steve I like the way you organized the rum in this one Sweet to woody What's good in a daq What's good in a Rum and Coke Might have to check out the Flor De Cana You didn't put it in the "woody" end of the spectrum brbrI'll have to try Plantation XO in a daq Didn't think to try that I have tried Appleton 12 in a daq Couldn't make it work for some reason
Comment from : Damien Hull

First time viewer, don’t comment much but had to!! Excellent video and explanation of flavors etc
Comment from : Blue Tiger Sport Fishing

No Cuban?
Comment from : Wajih Taiara

I can't decide the palate changes depending of daily circumstances as well as the mood you are in Generally speaking I would choose Doorly's 12 since my bottle is long gone but honestly I also have El Dorado 12, Appleton State 12, Plantation XO on my shelf, and I am really glad I do I have tried Flor de Cana 12 before but I still need to buy me a bottle of it Just as Doorly's and Real McCoy, Foursquare also produces a bottle call "RL Seale's 12 Year Old Barbados Rum"
Comment from : Bender

I love the plantation XO But out of the line up, it’s the only one I’ve had Hopefully I’ll get the chance to try some of the others
Comment from : Graham Shellswell

I don’t like Rums from Guyana and haven’t had the Cubay But the rest are all great! But I tend to like the higher abv stuff as I progress on my rum journey, just so much more flavor! When you are lucky some Plantation SC releases are under 50€/£ and at about 50, a bit younger but also great and cheap is the CDI Jamaica Navy Strength, more expensive but also absolutely lovely is the Hampden Overproof etc etc
Comment from : Henry L

Of these, Plantation is my favorite But Im a high proof whiskey drinker, so when you move above the $50 price tag, I move more to the blended Rums produced by Foursquare more often than not 2008,Redoubtable & Indelible all on my bar shelf right now
Comment from : Thomas Gort

You need to grab a Dos Maderas 5+5 You will be shocked $4600 US
Comment from : Greenpea

Great Video Your review on Doorly's caught my interest since it's my latest go to after many years loving Flor de Cana 12 year Thanks!
Comment from : Rum & Cigar Night

great video, For once I have most of the rums(plantation, appleton, Flor de Cana and El Dorado) and as a mood thing for which I use Locally Plantation XO is about 15 more than the others which range in teh $50 cad
Comment from : Stephane Foisy

Plantation XO my favourite so far on the journey 🤙
Comment from : Jeff McJeff

Given El Dorado 12yr is my only 12yr I've had so far, it gets my vote LOL
Comment from : Sean Pannebaker

El Dorado currently £30 at Waitrose Currently sipping it watching this video A good sweet sipping rum for beginners Which I class myself asbrAnd makes a wonderful rum old fashioned
Comment from : pyrofanuk

RL Seale's 12 YO Barbados
Comment from : Rodney Rupe

Plantation XO 20 year old Barbados anniversary rum @ 40 proof Is the best bottle of rum I've ever tasted Nice legs and a lovely flavour coming through with banana, chocolate and mango being the ones that my palette picked up A rum for special occasions me thinksbrbrDictador 12 yr @ 40 proof A lovely rum Good legs Quite expensive and special treat quality
Comment from : Paul Wood

Unbelievably, the Ron Cubay 10Y special reserve is around £28 in my neck of the woods so it's a no brainer really! In it goes in my shopping cart 👍
Comment from : Al Ho

Doorlys 12 is my choice I can get it for $2699 everyday and sometimes under $20 with sales and coupons at total wine It’s a steal
Comment from : Jarrett Tinnell

Hi Steve, always cautious about rum since my age 17 debacle 50 years ago, it has only been with cocktail making I have bought different styles I was given the rum tasting pack of 5 nips by the Master of Malt, as a retirement gift! They were my only sippers with their tasting notesbrI actually prefer single malt whisky as sippers in the winter late evening with shortbread by the firebrBut rums are a rock in my cocktail bottlestock Kraken as specified for A Right Hand Twist, Havanah 3yo as a workhorse, Appleton 8yo for Jamaican, Wray & Nephew for OP Used up my Woods in making Allspice dram and most of remaining Pineapple Grenade, rest went in my chocolate orange bottle My Havanah Spiced is still almost full, so little used and I will replace my Goslings for Dark & Stormiest Nick from York
Comment from : Nick Bradley

nice video im enjoying the flor de cana 12 drop of water and let it sit for a bit and its a lovely change from whiskey being a whisky man and just getting into rums im not sure about all the sugar some companys add especially as the flor de cana 12 and doorlys xo are so nice without the addition of sugar, it just seems to me that if the spirit is well made it shouldnt need added sugar am i wrong in this and would i be missing out on some seriously good rums if i only bought rums without sugar i realize its not whisky and just wonered how common adding sugar is bought a bottle of mount gay eclipse for a rum and coke i think it has sugar but its for coke not to bad would white rum be betfer? thanks for the video
Comment from : m shaves

Great to find a channel dedicated to Rum
Comment from : sounak mallik

Hey Steve My 12 yo go to is doorleys
Comment from : Daniel Ponting

Hello Steve A rum that I really like for 50 pounds sterling is the Saint James 12 years old It has an exceptional flavor and it is much better than many more expensive rums I really like molasses rums but and agricultural is top 👍
Comment from : phil gringo

Haven’t had the Cubay, but my faves are pretty much in order starting with Doorly’s and moving towards the XObrI like the “whiskey” vibe in my sippersbrAnother banging videobrCheers, StevobrbrAdded: i do not like rum & coke nor rum & ginger, i prefer a white rum daiquiri but absolutely love moody daiquiri’s, basically depends on my mood, haha!
Comment from : ken wood

I would put in dos maderas 5+5 if your gonna put in Ron cubay
Comment from : Windy Bum

Plantation XO all day long would Don Papa 10yr old still be classed as spiced rum ?
Comment from : Ian Naylor

The older Zaya 12 was one of my absolute favorites over the years! The 16 year Zaya is as close as I can find to the old 12 brbr But currently Appleton is where i am at!
Comment from : IronHead

Hi, brI have a bottle of the plantion 20th anniversary, brI live in Ireland, and off to London this weekend, so will be picking up a good bottle from duty free
