Buying advice

When choosing a rum, consider its intended use: if mixing cocktails, a light or spiced rum is often best; for sipping neat, look for aged premium rums. Pay attention to the origin (e.g., Jamaican, Barbados, Venezuelan) as each region imparts distinct flavors. Also, check for added sugar or artificial ingredients. Price generally reflects age and quality, but there are excellent options at every price point.
