Admiral Nelson's Premium Spiced

I have been overlooking the Admiral for some time, it’s always on the bottom shelf with the other rums trying to lure you in with a pirate wench on the bottle. I finally tried it and to my delight it was pretty good. I would say the best I’ve had from the economy line. A bit heavy on the vanilla perhaps but all in all not a bad rum for a mixer. I enjoyed a few drinks with no ill effect the next morning. If I were throwing a party with a lot of guest who really don’t care as long as the drinks are good, I would bring the Admiral to the bar by the gallon.

its alright for a cheap rum not really one i go for regularly mixed well not great straight

Not sure how this is even produced. Distinct metallic taste that is evident regardless of what the mixer is. Emergency use only

It tastes, and smells exactly like vanilla extract. Most of you who've never had vanilla extract are probably thinking, "Mmm Vanilla", but no, if you've ever had vanilla extract it doesn't taste like vanilla icecream or roughly like vanilla at all, you'll completely agree with me on the taste when you first open take a whiff/taste of this alcohol. I'm pretty sure this is vanilla extract. Like 10% sure. The glimmer of hope is if you mix a SMALL amount in a lot of coke, it can pass as pungent vanilla coke. There's absolutely no "spice" in this spiced rum. Just pure vanilla extract.

If you want to get drunk on drinks where the rum doesn't matter...this is ok

Tried it straight and there is some kind of fruity taste but nothing remotely resembling spiciness. The fruity taste takes a turn to a bland sugared up syrupy mess after a few minutes. As a mixer it's not much better. Will never buy it again.

This is a half hearted spiced rum. Better than Captain Morgan, but its still not very good.

For the price, complaining would be so wrong. A great rum to mix and drink with a few people to get drunk. Drinking it straight is unpleasant. When mixed it's hard to tell it's as cheap as it is.

Honestly, not the worst rum around. Easy to drink, hard to taste, one step below Captain, hence the name. If you have a whole bunch of people and they all want "rum and cokes" or just want to let loose, buy it.

While sweet, the overall body lacks a robustness that Morgan and Bacardi, slightly pricier cheap rums, actually have, and the finish involves a bitter aftertaste that lingers and grows, which I'm not fond of. I don't mix my rums, but I figure this would make a decent mixer for the simpler taste it has, but I largely prefer Morgan and Bacardi Oakheart straight for my spiced rums.
