Bristol Classic Black Spiced

Just about drinkable straight but and has strong anise and orange zest flavours but the flavour notes lack balance and it's far from smooth.

I was surprised to see a range of 2-8 ratings on this rum. I personally enjoyed it quite a lot. Good mixer for sure, and not too bad straight.

En meget mærkelig rom - har en udefinerbar eftersmag af noget sødt

Spiced rums just are not my thing. I don't know what I could use this for. I wouldn't drink it straight, again, and I'm not ruining my cocktails with it.

Lemon zest is definitely the dominating taste. Luckily an not too sweet rum. Its a great rum I think, although I can understand that, particularly this rum, is not to everybody's liking.

ikke en god rom at drikke ren, derimod er den ganske udmærket i kamille te hvis man har halsbetændelse ;-)

It seems like they put licorice in almost everything these days so why not in a rum? This is why. It just doesn't work. Buy some cough syrup insteds, it will probably taste better. A rare miss from Bristol Classic

I do like a spiced rum however am not that fond of the very sweet vanilla infused versions that are dominating the market today. I like what Bristol Spirits are doing as an independent bottler with their range of rums under the Bristol Classic Rum brand so was looking forward to this one.

Bottled at 42% (84 proof) it is a blended rum of 3 year white rum from Mauritius and 6 year old Caroni from Trinidad. There is very little info on what spices have been used to make this.

The color as the name is black with a dark red hue when held up to the light.The aroma coming of this is amazing. I'm not the best at identifying notes (still learning) but I can smell orange peel, christmas pudding and Dutch Liquorice. The taste is similar from the nose with. Long liquorice finish which leaves your mouth very dry.

A complete different spiced rum than I have ever experienced and I'm glad I did.

if you like your spiced rum of the sweet vanilla & sugar bomb variety then this is not the one for you. if you want to go on a different taste journey than give this is a try.

I like it!!

Tastes like gasoline and coughing medicine. Some off the absolutely worst ive ever had. I gave the rest to the zink.
