RumX Awards 2025: Best Classic Rums

Your “safe bets”?

Not every day calls for a complex single cask tasting and hours of analysis. Sometimes you just want a damn good drink in your glass.

Which of these bottles is your personal “perennial favorite” that you buy again as soon as it’s empty? And do you perhaps have a secret tip under €50 that’s missing from this ranking?

Tell us your home bar standards in the comments!

I’m surprised that the Hampden 1753 didn’t make it!

For me that is a very nice release of this year for a nice price, is it limited?

In an opposite fashion, very happy to see some love for that SBS Origin Australia! One of my favorite daiquiri discovery of this year

Für mich ist auch der KLK die Entdeckung des Jahres. Hampden Rum fire ist auch für den Preis eine Bank. RX8441 ist für mich auch ein super unaged Rum, danke @Leo. Und auch immer mal wieder für unter 50€ zu finden.

Personnaly the PLanteray Barbados is too sweet but I easily understand this first place.
I’m surprised not to find Shakara 12yo in the first places, definitely for me one of the best price/quality unsweetened rum (in english/barbados style)
Edit : the new navy fogg by planteray is very cool for it’s price
