The title of this thread does not refer to rums MADE in Europe, but to rums AVAILABLE in Europe - which is a fact that is of some solace to me when I am on extended Foreign Legion duty on that continent.

I always end up having to watch my intake because there are so many yummy options, especially since I lately have been partial to sipping Agricole rhums, like this fine Trois Rivieres...

...while this Cuban and the XM Royal Demerara are very palatable also! Adding to my conund-rum (excuse the pun) is the fact that the Sushi restaurant at my street corner recently installed a rum bar...

... with a menu offering more than 60 varieties of the cane juice...

...from all the rum-producing regions of the world.

The only thing that will keep me from becoming a total rummy are their prices (in Euro!)
I still could not resist some of these sweeter temptations from Austria and Italy:
