So I bought several bottles of Foursquare. And while I appreciate it, it honestly tastes like a high end bourbon without the sweetness I expect from rum. I already have high end bourbon, this isnt what I'm looking for.
The Mount Gay XO was much closer to what I'm looking for.... premium high proof, sweet, dark, spicy rum. The Plantation 5 year is not bad but Im looking for higher proof, more spice. The Appleton Estate 12 year has this funky note that I dont think I like but still evaluating. Wondering if the Plantation XO is worth picking up....
I might just stick with the Mount Gay line but seeing if anyone has other suggestions.
Thanks
edit: I couldnt put my finger on it but now realize the Appleton tastes peated (even if its not actually). And thats why its off-putting for me...for a rum
Charmans Reserve in particular looks like something to try for sure. Thank.
Bacardi is something I used to drink in college and thats why I didnt even consider it. But these brands are large for a reason. And obviously this is a higher end product from them. So will give it a shot.
I also recently found out that Jack Daniels actually makes fantastic bourbons (single barrel barrel proof), which was a surprise.
Agricoles are coming up a lot in here. Will give those a shot.
Why tf did I not think to try minis. Great idea.
Yeah I was super excited to try the Foursquare. Honestly its like a cheat for people who dont want to spend top dollar on high end bourbon. So thats cool. Not what Im looking for though.
For sure. I found Bacardi 8 and Plantation XO to give the real rum experience (or at least the one Im looking for), different from bourbon. Mount Gay XO is good as well.

Something about white rum has always been unappealing to me just on appearance. But Ill have to give it a try one of these days. Thanks.
Looks like an interesting bottle. Will try.
