There are some seriously bad rums out there. Columbus comes to mind. Both the Blanco and the Añejo. Can something aged for seven years wind up tasting so bad.

Have only tried Flor de Caña. and Barbancourt out of those ten. I like sweet dark rums with ice only.
My ex-wife could after being aged 40 years, so yeah !
I have always enjoyed rum but never paid attention much to distilling practices. I have developed a interest for rums without added sugar. Just to make the comparison. But I find that many rums are not imported to the Dominican Republic like Foursquare. Rum Rum Barbancourt 8 is right next door but I have never seen it any outlets I frequent. Ron Abuelo (both 8 and 12) rocks and you can find it here but it is expensive (in my opinion) for rum and I have a bottle already in another location so I have not felt the need to purchase one here in the DR. Flor de Caña is another one that I have not been able to find. I hit three locations. Struck out!The 10 best specialty rums to try for National Rum Day, according to experts

Leyenda might be too sweet for youi but try it at a bar or something to see
Saves you splurging on a bottle - 1,000DOP

Agreed.. It's the perfect sipping Rum. Room Temperature neat. I like Flor de Caña and Plantation Barbados rum too, but I'm hooked on Leyenda after trying it. I like the price too..
It is an exceptional rum Leyenda for the price. Very high on rumratings site and on my personal taste buds.
Ok - My Bacoo is getting low..
On the shelf below Bacoo in my booze joint was one I had never seen -

I bought the vanilla - absolutely excellent
Mind you I'll be mixing it w/ my house blend....
The Vanilla might be sweet for some but cutting it w/ regular rum really works
Coffee and fruit flavors are available
I paid $25.....in NY state

Bermudez 1852 is my favorite everyday sipper. It has that bite that whiskey does. Not sweet. Flavorful.
I hit it straight, no ice, no water, no chase.

A new Rum from Barcelo
----------------------------------------------------------------
Barceló rum brand has launched Organic, the first rum where all ingredients are from natural sources. The sugarcane used for Organic rum is grown without synthetic chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides.
The packaging is eco-friendly, made from vegetable fiber extracted from bagasse, a by-product of sugarcane.
To produce Organic, Barceló set aside a sugarcane plantation of only 1.5 km2 near the distillery. The rum is aged in select oak wood barrels of a mixture of different ages. The production is only of 39,670 cases per year. Barceló says this gives the rum an intense amber color and subtle notes of cocoa, tobacco leaves, fleshy fruits and pink pepper.
Vinicio Subero, global director of Business & Supply Chain for Ron Barceló, the launch of Barceló Organic is a new step in the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability and the production of the highest quality products and the satisfaction of the increasingly demanding needs of its consumers.

I just finished a bottle of:
Esplendido-PuntaCana Club Ron
After I bought the bottle I read a review that said:
"A completely forgettable ron"
I agree with that reviewer.
Could only finish the bottle using it as a mixer in my ron punch.
And even then it didn't taste right.
