Best Rum Under £50
Rum used to have a bad reputation in the world of Spirits, but has undergone a revival and made a great comeback, not only among the seafarers.
With a wide range of styles and hues to choose from, Rum is one of the most varied and difficult-to-navigate Spirits categories, so choosing the right bottle can seem daunting.
Fret not! From complex sippers, to barrel-aged spiced Rums and golden cocktail-friendly Caribbean offerings, here is the list of best-rated Rums can get for £50 or less.
White Rum, Gold Rum, Dark Rum, Navy Rum, Spiced Rum, Demerara, Solera, Ron, and Rhum - take your pick. All the ages, flavours, and brands are here: Ten To One, Bumbu, El Dorado, Ron Zacapa, Bacardi, Diplomático, Mount Gay, Don Papa, Bacardi, Ron Colón, and others!
Hint: the first five bottles are Flaviar Community Favourites which means you’re getting the most for sugar cane Spirit for your £. They’re followed by other incredible Rums that will wow your palate.
