    How does this rum taste?

    Simple vanilla-spice, better for mixing
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy soft, vanilla-forward supermarket rums and want something similar to mix with cola or ginger ale, this lines up with that profile—just don’t expect much depth.

    Not really suitable for

    Enthusiasts seeking depth, strong cask influence or high-ester character, and anyone who dislikes thin textures or slightly bitter finishes in a 40% rum.

    In my opinion, not as bad as the community has rated it. It tastes well spiced and also slightly tangy. Goes in the direction of spiced rum, but it's not. But completely okay for the price :)

    24 Days of Rum, Blue Edition, Day 18 You are greeted with a whole range of delicious fruit, plum, almond, honey, cinnamon and spices on the nose. Elegant wood and vanilla notes soon follow and round off the impression. This continues on the palate - with slightly less fruit but still very round and with a really well-integrated 40%. The medium-long finish is still fruity.

    At 40% abv, it’s a little peppery. Some sweetness and tropical notes, but not very special in my opinion.

    Time to finish up the 1423 Christmas calendar "24 days of rum". A rum from the band Infernal on day 18. In the nose I find hints of spices and some leather, and in the notes I'm also getting some spices, toffee and a bitter aftertaste
