„Rum for after dinner with friends. Too spicy and sweet for my taste. Not suitable for tasting at a certain level. These very sweet rums got me hooked on these spirits and therefore I find it difficult to give it a bad rating because in the end everyone has their own preferences. That being said, unfortunately, I do not consider it a good rum and I liken it to Elixirs such as Arecha or Cubaney (which are not real rums).“

„This is a nice spiced rum and should be judged accordingly. Very nice and warming with a lot of spices and chocolate. Can be enjoyed pure, on the rocks and in a mixer. I have started using this when baking chocolate cake and it's very good for that as well.“

„Very spicy and very sugary. Not a tasting rum - but not pretending it is. It is as advertised and honestly, find it quite unpalatable but no false promises. I have drank much worse for such rums 😉“

„Quelle horreur ! On m'a offert une bouteille de ce truc que j'ai donc dû goûter en faisant bonne figure. C'est plat et chimique. Du mauvais cola sans bulles. Du Toplexil. Moins bon encore qu'un Bumbu. Infect.. Ce genre de boissons fait du mal au rhum en laissant à penser aux non initiés que c'est ça le rhum.“

„Too much dillution with water therefore its taste is fading out, tye taste as well as smell is weak and should be more prominent since soices are present but dillution with water killed all the fun. Even Captain Morgan Black Spiced is much better than this due to its significant taste and smell.“
