items Some of my top picks of rums from Barbados! Most are inexpensive and a great entry into the world of rum from Barbados, the birthplace of rum and home to the oldest rum distillery.
My fondest memories are with friends enjoying drinks with no cares in the world. We would drink rum and spend nights playing dominos, partying or sharing conversations well into the early hours of the mornings.

White Rum
The crown jewel for fans of white rum, if you buy it, remember to enjoy responsibly and hope you have an awesome time!
Maybe people will say it's for sipping, but I would still add some ice and soda; to me that kind of finishes the drink.

Mount Gay Single Estate #3 Rum
Clear, clean and balanced. Its transparent appearance underlines the fresh style, while the distillation quality ensures a harmonious balance between fruitiness and fine spice found in an authentic Barbados white rum.
St. Nicholas Abbey White Rum
The smoothest white rum available, I drink it with soda water and some bitters, my go to drink, low in sugar and very satisfying.
E.S.A. Field White Rum
The taste is pleasant with a little more kick than other white rums. My go-to with this rum is chase with Sprite.
Mount Gay Rum Silver
Matured briefly in oak before being filtered to remove its color. This means that it'll add some aged rum richness to your cocktail, while not impacting the drink's hue.
Cockspur Platinum White Rum
Some of my fondest memories with friends enjoying drinks with no cares in the world. We would drink this and spend late nights playing Dominos and sharing conversations well into the early hours of the mornings. This makes the list because it played ...
Stade's White Rum
Dark Rum
My first choice in dark rum from Barbados, amazingly smooth and wonderful taste. I drink this with soda water and ice.
Old Brigand 5 Year Old Rum
Basically this is the my crown jewel of Barbadian dark rum, from the oldest rum distillery in the world. This rum builds on centuries of experience, ultra smooth with amazing notes.
I celebrate with this rum, I drink it with soda water and ice.
Mount Gay XO
Rich and smooth but a little pricy, I would save this for special occasions. It's aged for 12 years and has a rich sweet flavor with a little burn.
Cockspur VSOR 12
This rum from Foursquare distillery in Barbados is rich, fruity, with notes of toffee, raisins and vanilla. It's an affordable option and an easy entry into Barbados rum.
Doorly's X.O
A great blend, an inexpensive entry into experiencing rum from Barbados. Great taste, with a little kick, not as smooth as other rums but I enjoy it with soda water and ice.
Cockspur Old Gold Reserve
Black Barrel Was introduced about 10 years ago and it's is robust and bold, crafted from a blend of intense and aromatic rums, aged in American whiskey casks and finished for six months in deeply charred bourbon casks.
Definitely a rum to enjoy with a little soda water and ice.

Mount Gay Black Barrel
This rum that is pretty good, it's less smooth that others on this list, but a very low cost entry into rum from Barbados, this is a more ordinary option, less years aged and has a little kick to it. Good for mixing!
Mount Gay Eclipse
This is an uncomplicated entry into the list of rums from Barbados, its pleasant tasting with no overly distinct flavor, it's notes are clean, round and balanced. I would also recommend as a mixer as there are more smother options in this list.
Cockspur 5 Star
Mixers
This is hands down a must have when drinking white rum, it adds fruity notes with a pleasant taste when mixed with soda water.
Angostura Aromatic Bitters
Needed for a refreshing chaser, pair this with any of the rums on this list and just add ice!
Soda Water
Enjoy rum like the locals from Barbados, sure some chose to mix it with soft drinks, but they are some who keep it simple and like to keep the flavors all about the rum!
