This list does NOT include Ron Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva (Venezuela) or Neisson Rhum Reserve Speciale (Martinique)...two of the best in the world.....

This list is absolutely ridiculous. Guyana's El Dorado rum has won more world titles than 80% of the brands listed here.

Suggested addition to the list: Pampero Ron Añejo (Venezuela), an elegant smooth aged rum which comes in a leather pouch.

I've tried about 12 of these rum in your list and they are great but you do not have Rum Flor de Cana from Nicaragua. 18 yrs aged or 15 yrs aged or even the 7 yrs age. How come they did not make this list?
