“Pretty much what i expect from a spiced rum. kinda cheapish rum made more enjoyable through Spice and sugar. Hast some Ester to it so that you can make it maybe even stnd out for Rum and Coke. Still no big fan. But at least it doesnt claim to be super premium Rum.”

“Ein ganz normale spiced Rum. Ich finde diesen sogar ganz okay. Riecht und schmeckt natürlich würzig, Zimt kann man auf jeden Fall rausschmecken. Ist aber nicht so schlimm, dass schon Weihnachtsgefühle aufkommen :)”

“23rd sample of 24 days of rum offers a pot still Scottish spiced rum containing less then 5 g of sugar per litre. 👃 reminds me of a home-made hooch/booze or pálenka (in our country) distilled from various kinds of fruits but with spices included in this one. We can distinguish pear, plum, raisins it is very fruity, aromatic and rich in flavor. 👅 is really sweet, I don't believe the claim that there is less than 5 g of sugar per litre. Taste is definitely better for me. It is slightly spicy, fruity (all mentioned above) sweet but the hints of home made booze is still there :) Long finish. Definitely one of better spiced rums that I had a chance to try and this is coming from someone who is not a big fan of spiced rums.”

“Sample no.23 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Very artificial and christmas-y on the nose. Baking spices as cinnamon and gingerbread along with something fruity from cherries. Palate is just woody and alcoholic. Some very faint notes of the spices after a few seconds. As a spiced rum I guess it’s ok but nothing I would buy a bottle of.”

“Zimtbombe, zu überlagernd und stark. Moderate Süße im Mund und auch hier Zimt als dominantes Aroma. Setzt sich im kurzen Abgang fort.”

“Flotte, arômes artificiels d'épices mal choisis, le peu d'alcool est très mal intégré, longueur inexistante. Pour un rhum épicé c'est peut être correct, pour un rhum ça ne vaut rien.”
