    How does this rum taste?

    • Strong baking spice aroma
    • Balanced sweetness for style
    • Good value for spiced rum

    Big cinnamon, vanilla, raisin, and a fruity, spiced aroma quickly set the tone in J. Gow Spiced Rum. Tasters note bold baking spice balanced with woody notes, sweet hints, and a whiff of homemade fruit liqueur. Cinnamon dominates, with mixed opinions on its sweetness and authenticity—yet some find it an unusually well-balanced spiced rum. Worth a sip if you enjoy vibrant, dessert-like spice blends.

    "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 :)"

    "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."
