I agree that white rums aren't usually the pinnacle of sipping rums. And neither is this rum. But I think for people who don't normally sip rums and want something light and nuanced, the Rubi Rey is a good choice. I have tried 10cane and really like it. I have used it as my white rum of choice several times with very happy results. If I had to choose between 10 Cane and the Rubi Rey, I would have to go for the 10 Cane. I like it's grassy/sweet flavor and it really stands up in cocktails. However, the major downside is that here in Virginia, 10 Cane is on the pricey side and a lot of people would much prefer a cheaper white rum. (Not that I'm one of them - but still an aspect that should be taken into consideration.) Cheers! Hey Dominik!

I am also absolutely annoyed of the misleading [and snaky] use of specific terms. There is absolutely no chance to use single barrel in this case [even if it is not prohibited - in the rum industry]. There should be a term of conduct of the producers... I am also quite surprised how well this rum came off in your review! White rums are actually not really the pinnacle of sipping spirits - so I will definitely give it a try if it comes along... Did you try 10cane? How would you compare those two? Nice review of yours!

After a horrible Bacardi experience on my 19th birthday, it's always been something of a nemesis. However, this review makes me think I am selling it short. Well written and well said. Thanks!
