Dark Matter Spiced

Nice golden color. Strong aroma. Seems like it will be harsh. Smells strongly of cloves, ginger, maybe cardamom. Spicy.

At the first sip, surprisingly smooth. Peppery taste lingers. Gingery bite. (Wonder how it would be in a dark and stormy?). Obviously flavored, you almost miss the alcohol in it. I'm sure it's young rums, but it's not harsh at all. Very interesting. This is a very tasty sipper. I didn't try mixing it, especially not with Coke.

Not a sweet rum. But very tasty. Would be delicious in sauces. But if you like spicy, and cloves, cardamom, ginger... This is very worth trying.

It pours almost brown in colour. Aroma is full of spices, pungent and pleasant. Flavour is a mix of cinder toffee, spices and chilli. Great on its own or mixed with cola and ginger beer, this is one of the best spiced rums out there today.

What did i just taste.. Tastes like a blend of fireball and swedish punch.. I would like to say that i hate it.. But this socker grows on me.. Awesomeness in a bottle.

For something brewed in the uk where molasses does not grow this is stunning,with an aniseed effect. this is unique as most spiced rums are sweet.

Laat alsjeblieft schotland hou het alleen bij wiskey maken.
Dit is oprecht niet te drinken heb het speciaal mee uit schotland genomen maar helaas.
Zelfs als het gemixt is blijf die nare chemische smaak er in zitten

Harsh, heavily spiced rum, but you can't get past the overwhelming clove taste which for me just overpowers the whole drink. Definitely a winter warmer. Just about bearable as a rum and coke, however seriously better balanced alternatives are out there at the price point.

On the nose:
At first strong marmalade, then ethanol mixed with a bit of smoke, faint fruit notes of perhaps banana, apricots and other citrus fruits.
On the palate:
Even stronger marmalade, strong ethanol burn first on the tongue then lingering on the top of the mouth going into the nose, tailing off with a burn on the tongue and lips.

Personal:
Absolutely love it, but it definitely is not for everyone.

Originally, I bought this for my other half, as I knew she likes her cinnamon rums. So naturally getting ginger beer to mix with it was the right choice. For myself, it is a nice rum, but damn it does do a slight gut punch for myself.

I give it a 6 personally, but overall if you like your cinnamon rums, or ginger beer, this one is for you.

Not the best, a little disappointing. Too much spice going on in the palette, not a good flavour

Spiced is not the same as spiced. Spiced rum should taste like rum, not like an xmas drink gone awfully wrong. But it could replace the morning coffee though :)
