Review time for the rums iā€™ve been drinking. Theyā€™re lovely, iā€™m pissed, buy them. For those that like more detail, hereā€™s the bit i have to think about. ![AC_SY400](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/1X/d83bea2da3b4cb9db610e5cc411ff822939fbde3.jpg) This is under Ā£30 a bottle and reasonably good. The kind described as tobacco/leather/cigar. Nice enough, but iā€™d be tempted to try their next level up. ![AC_SY400](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/1X/2483c33b8e9d92dd69dc048b896efe92fee7207d.jpg) This i like a lot, but if i remember correctly itā€™s Ā£50 odd quid a bottle. So forget it, thereā€™s as good Ā£10 cheaper and for another Ā£10-Ā£15 you can get the Cartavio 18 which is far superior. Now this one is still unopened. ![el-dorado-rare-collection-enmore-1993-rum](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/1X/5b8cff89c227addf87cbe689cb70d9f69bd33835.jpg) Win the tournament and itā€™s historyšŸ˜ ---
