So good you will want to drink it neat
This rum is so good that it's changed my view on rum. I didn't think you would ever want to drink rum neat, but I tried this at a wedding and was blown away by the depth of the spice and the flavour. If you don't like ginger then might not be for you, but otherwise get this and pour over ice. I'm yet to make cocktails with it, but I'm super excited to see just how much it will improve some of my favourite cocktails.
Was very disappointed with this rum mainly because
Was very disappointed with this rum mainly because there was no indication on the bottle that it had a very strong taste of ginger spice Which we both dislike, anyone liking ginger flavours would love it but unfortunately not us, We tried it has we are great fans of a spiced rum and it was not one we had tried before The labelling needs to be clearer in this instance .
Proper Spiced Rum!
My wife bought this for me as a Birthday gift and I've been hooked since. If your used to drinking some of the Vanilla spiced rums then this is probably not for you
an acquired taste
very medicinal. very gingery. quite expensive. don't buy if used to sweet typical rums. an acquired taste.
A rum for people who like rum. Not bland and gene
A rum for people who like rum. Not bland and generic, complex, interesting but balanced; a true connoisseurs' drink.
Shame
It tasted medicinal. Great looking bottle bought as a Christmas present which was given away to someone who will 'drink anything!' Even in coffee it was just not good. Or neat. Quite clovey but too chemically as well. Try before you buy....if you can!
Very nice if you like ginger
I'm not the biggest fan of gingery drinks but this is still pleasant. It's very smooth and tastes If you like ginger beer, etc, you'll love this. It's probably 4* for me but I didn't want to mark them down because I'm not a fan of ginger. I had it with Pepsi Max - my favourite.
Grown up and gorgeous
My favourite rum! Don't expect sweet vanilla, get ready for peppery spicy grown-up deliciousness! My first neat taste of this was grim and disappointing (being used to sweetly spiced rums), so I poured in some Pepsi and BOOM, awesomeness!(It's also amazing with ginger ale, ginger Pepsi, a big ice cube or some lemonade.) I CRAVE it now - think of the taste of good bitters mixed into a quality rum, or the tang of ice cold Jagermeister - it's really good indeed.
