The Captain's Log

About James PR

The Rum Experience is an independent rum journal written by James PR — a lifelong enthusiast committed to honest, unsweetened tasting notes.

Every review is scored on the same five-axis DNA flavor matrix: sweetness, funk, oak, spice and smoothness. Value is judged separately from quality, and every bottle is checked for added sugar.

Cocktail compatibility is graded because a great sipping rum does not always make a great Daiquiri — and vice versa.
