Cat's out of the bag, reader: you might have noticed that this is a “review” site. And in the context of a “review” site, talking about a bottle like Whaler's is thorny.

Now I know about the bird. I still don't know if the bird is the word.

Being basic should be easy as we head into the season of pumpkin spice everything, but Captain Morgan turns it into challenging work.

Yowza. Like, super fucking yowza. Be warned: maybe this offers up TOO much flavor.

We've talked about aged rums, and we've talked about agricole rums. Here's one that neatly splits the difference between the two styles.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
An affordable and quality-made rum that doesn't need to bludgeon you with sugar to get its point across. A nice change!
Overall Rating: ★★☆
An interesting bottle in that it comes to us with something of a (*gasp*)... storied reputation. And yet, I do think it's decently good stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
There's a glut of good rums on the market that lie beyond most of the familiar names. Here's one more that's shelfworthy.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Not as bad as I expected. Still not great, but when we're talking about Bacardi, even a backhanded compliment is a reason to celebrate.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Aged rum can be stupidly cheap. However, an age statement of more than two decades carries some hefty expectations, regardless of price. In this respect alone the Kirk and Sweeney falls short.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
A fair mixer and a serviceable sipping rum if you're not paying too close attention. The rum rub: you can get a lot better than the ED-5 for not very much more.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Supposing that you're a brown liquor drinker with a bit of a sweet tooth, I don't think you're going to find too many rums that are flat-out better than this. And the cost? Well, sometimes life is full of unexpected surprises. Overall Rating: ★★★
White rums are pretty boring. At least I thought so before I snagged a bottle of this. Proving yourself wrong is rarely this enjoyable. Overall Rating: ★★★
Well, it's certainly a pretty package, and if we weren't spoiled for choice in the rum category, I'd probably pick it up more often.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
You may not have ever heard of an agricole rum. No time like the present to learn, and no better bottle than this to learn from. At the end of the day it might not be your thing, but it gets a thumbs-up from me. Overall Rating: ★★☆
I'll be honest: if this stuff is superior rum, I'm having a really hard time trying to think of a single rum that it's actually superior to. Overall Rating: ⃠
Pineapple rum used to be a thing. Then it waned in popularity. Now it's back thanks to Plantation and author David Wondrich, who are doing the lord's work. Overall Rating: ★★★
Well, it isn't bad, but it's certainly one of the most boring rums I've had. I'd call it vanilla, but that would give readers the false hope of it tasting like something. Overall Rating: ★☆☆
A rum you've probably never heard of at a quality and price point that will make you take notice. Thanks, Dominican Republic!
