Strong spice flavor that can be overpowering, but properly mixed is tasty.

Sweet with artificial cherry flavor. Boozy if sipped, but works well in dark colas (except Dr. Pepper). If you like Jonah's Curse or Kraken give this a shot.

Balckheart was my very first rum. The taste was kinda strong with nice taste of vanilla and a after taste of a nice sweet tasting burn, I was filling Tipsy at 93 proof As a rookie in the rum world I dulid enjoy it enjoyed the taste and I will always keep a bottle in my cabinet. Next experience is Sailor Jerry rum.

If you want a boozy Dr. Pepper without altering the Dr. Pepper profile too much, mix this with Coke.

Worse than Captain Morgans, not a fan of the aftertaste.

Flavor overwhelmingly vanilla and bite. Nothing done to tone down the burn of alcohol and there's a distinctly medicinal aftertaste.
All that said, it goes amazingly in a Cuba Libre.

This is basically just a cheaper version of Captain Morgan and it's equally mediocre. I had it once and that was enough.

Was at Walmart, saw it on the shelf, needed a new bottle, was cheap, said why not. Strong rum, taste like cherries probably a great mixer with coke. Not a bad rum, not a particularly great rum, on a bind, no regrets.

At 93 proof, this one can make you shudder if sipped neat. No telling how many chemicals are in here. Somehow, it garnered my rating of a 5, but could fall lower in the coming weeks. And indeed it did fall to a 4.

Another review from my blog...edited for length and content and formatted to fit your screen...
The black cherry and vanilla so many reviewers went on and on about is not very strong at all when sipped. This rum is far from overly sweet. Is Blackheart sweet? Yes there is some sweetness. There are some very cherry notes hiding in the mix. The cherry is more noticeable when mixed with cola than sipped on the rocks. The spices in Blackheart are fairly subdued. There is no peppery heat to speak off. It comes out very Dr Pepperish on it’s own and even more when mixed with cola. i like to do my tasting neat or on the rocks and that is mainly what i am doing with Blackheart. There is a little bitterness lingering in the finish along with a subtle vanilla taste. Afterall Blackheart IS 93 proof! At the same time there really isn’t much burn at all. Honestly there is surprisingly little burn considering Blackheart is 46.5% alcohol.
I think Blackheart is okay as a sipper but nothing special. It is good though. Blackheart shines in any version of a rum and Coke. Because of the bitter tail i would avoid Diet Pepsi with Blackheart Spiced Rum. Stick to the regular non diet versions of your favorite cola with this rum. Blackheart is an ok sipper but there are far better….and FAR worse. Mixed with Coke Blackheart is stellar!
In the end i’ll leave you with these wise words in regards to Blackheart Spiced Rum “I’m a pepper,he’s a pepper, she’s a pepper,we’re a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too?” Come on, sing along!
