Deadhead Aged

I tried this because of the bottle, but discovered it was delicious

I had to try this when I saw the bottle and ,although I don't have a lot of experience, from what I've tried, its the best so far.

Good rum . This is a great bottle had to have the bottle

I HAVE A FEW BOTTLES OF THIS IN MY OWN TIKI BAR. IT IS SMOOTH AND MIXES WELL.

It is not that smooth but still has plenty of characteristics to explore. Definitely worth tasting. And the bottle is really something original and unique.

I really thought the best thing about this rum would be the bottle...but it is really a good rum...you can even si it although a mixer is its true place for me.

This is an interesting rum. The bottle is pretty cool, and the flavor is unique. Smells of earthy cacao, allspice, caramel, and butterscotch with lots of anise showing up in the taste. It's quite tasty for the price.

Great tasting rum. I had to have it for the bottle, it tastes pretty great too.

Deadhead rum, is een glorieuze riet rum uitgerust met waarschijnlijk de meest opvallende fles sinds de uitvinding van de verpakking.
In tegenstelling tot zijn nogal macabere fles, is de rum is een echte schoonheid. Deadhead rum is ideaal voor nippen na het eten, het is assertief en briljante smaken maken het een geweldige keuze voor gebruik in een classic drankje.

Het heeft een rijke amber tint, een onmogelijk lichte body en verzadigd met aroma´s van koffie, chocolade, piment, kaneel en nootmuskaat, samen met de toegevoegde aroma van kruidnagel, anijs en karamel .

You see this bottle, its a must buy for some. But the actual product inside isn't that bad. Thus far I've only had the pleasure on the rocks and it has a pleasing taste, smooth enough, with no lingering burn or harshness.

Den här är lagom söt. Lite kick mot slutet. En god rom i övre skicktet.

Okay, it has a creepiness factor of 10 which makes it stand out from all other rums out there in regards to containers. However can it stand apart from other rums in regards to flavor?

Nope.

First off the color is a light amber...closer to a yellow color in some apple juices. It has a slight sugar cane aroma with fair amount of astringency reminding me of ethanol. The flavor isn't too bad. Not great but it hits you with some sweetness and vanilla/toffee tones which then fades into a rather decent burn. Being that it's a blend of sugar cane juice and molasses it does have a bit of an agricole edge to it. The aging gives it a bit of oak bitterness bordering on objectionable but not quite. It ALMOST is a sipping rum but misses just by a tad. However it does very well as a mixer.

I recommend buying one bottle at least for the appearance and if you like it, buy another and tell your guests they were traveling salesmen....WERE....

Okay...feeble attempt at humor.

Not a bad rum. However it really doesn't stand out from other similarly aged rums. Therefore I can't go higher than a 7 here.

Altså, har set denne flotte flaske på billeder og tænkte, sikke en lækker flot flaske i keramik! - Skuffelsen var stor da jeg så endelig fik den købt (330 kr hos Otto-Duborg i Tyskland) og opdagede at den er i plastik!

Nå, ind på hylden med den og den skal nok få en bedre beskrivelse ang. smag osv når jeg har fået taget hul på den.

Spicy and dry rum. Hints of cedar, vanilla and honey. The finish resembles a fresh cutted grass fand oak

This is a great rum for drinks, I was very surprised how good this is.

I have enjoyed this rum neat on many occasions and still can't believe how smooth and balanced it is.

As with all rums that come in novelty bottles, I wasn't expecting much (especially after being burned by the $45 usd Pumpkin Face "Premium" white rum...).

I expected to have a few sips with some rum imbiber friends, have a few laughs at those few sips, then dump the rest of the bottle in a summertime Punch/Sangria at the next family BBQ and then just keeps the bottle as a display piece for the next TIKI night.

What I found was a NICE lightly spiced rum that is easy to drink.
Okay, that being said, I know it won't replace the Appleton Estate Exclusive or the Dos Maderas Luxus as my top 2 sipping rums, but I won't be hiding it from my guests that know I'm a serious rum amateur either.

I has a well marked pepperiness that will make (daytime) cocktails linger in your mouth without overpowering all the other ingredients; it's slightly sweet but not syrupy ; it was a hint of sugar cane but reminds me more of Cachaça than something made with molasses.

All in all, not a bad rum ...and it even comes in a pretty remarkable container.
:-)

...kenne wenige Rums, welche mit ihrer Verpackung derart polarisieren. Die Einen regen sich darüber bereits so auf, dass sie nicht mehr die Möglichkeit haben unbefangen den Inhalt zu degustieren. Die Anderen sehen durch die "coole" Flasche bereits einen fantastischen Rum auf ihre Zunge gelangen. Ich persönlich finde den Rum gar nicht so schlecht, doch auch ich muss gestehen zur ersten genannten Gruppe zu gehören.

Didn't really get me excited - harsh, probably good as a mixer. I must admit it was probably the packaging that caught my eye!

Sehr coole Flasche macht was her. Geruch und erster Geschmack ist Traube.

Duft af fad og lidt chokolade? Ikke sprittet, og lidt slag af karamel. Altså det man kan nå at smage inden alt forsvinder igen. Sidder tilbage med en lidt flad fornemmelse. Den smager ikke grimt. Den er bare intetsigende.

Theres not much happening.... I could only smell and taste added caramel. I mean it tastes ok and makes a decent mixer but take the bottle away and your left with a very average rum. Once finished wont be repeated im afraid.
