This is yet another spiced rum which seems reasonable enough, for about half of the first glass. To be honest as much as it was no show stopper sipped, at least it was drinkable. Mixing this just gives you a very sweet, cloying drink. Which only the sweetest sweet tooth will manage to drink beyond a glass or two.

Over a century’s worth of knowledge and passion has led the family to create this bold rum, blended with selected spices delivering notes of orange, nutmeg, vanilla and raisin.” Sipped its not as sweet as the nose would suggest. It’s quite artificial tasting – synthetic flavourings. It doesn’t really offer a great deal on its own. Tastes a bit like a sugar substitute with a really biter artificial after taste. There is a little bit of oak and spice but its mostly just young alcohol giving you a bit of a burn. Burnt toffee and some cloying clove and vanilla keep drifting in and out of the mix.Presentation wise I like the stubby rounded bottle and the wax dipped cork stopper, adds a nice touch. Mixing this with cola you get a different experience and a lot of coffee. Now I like coffee but I’m not that keen on overly sweet vanilla laden coffee. Which is what this gives you when you mix it with cola. Vanilla laden coffee with some steeped cloves. Lovely……… The nose is very sweet. Huge amounts of concentrated vanilla and caramel dominate. Surprisingly there is a little hint of oak spice and quite a sharp hit of alcohol. Clove and maybe a tiny h int of ginger. It has a kind of “burntness” to it. Like old coffee grinds.
