i had bought this bottle a few years ago to have a dark mixing rum in the bar. Opened it tonight and straight thought it had a strong coffee aftertaste. I don't drink ginger beer for a dark & stormy so mixed it with ginger ale. Ok as a mixer for my taste but not a sipper.

Dans la liste des rhums noirs celui ci est mon préféré avec le myer's. La mélasse est présente mais ne surenchérit pas et les épices n'ont pas le gout chimique que l'on peut retrouver dans presque tout les autres rhums noirs. En dark and stormy avec pleins de glace et du old jamaica ginger beer, c'est a se rouler par terre. Très rafraichissant et avec un kick épicé en même temps. A consommer lors des chaudes soirées d'été.

I've been drinking the dark and stormy for years. I decided to taste the rum neat.
Aroma is pretty medicinal. Strong nutmeg, allspice and clove taste. Kind of am odd aftertaste. This is certainly not meant to drink neat.

Very nice combination of taste of the rum and the over-smoked barrels...

Nice aroma. Sweet tasting with hints of cinnamon and molasses. Served over 1 cube of ice.

I love this mixed, it seems to have increased in popularity and production and I think most recent bottles might be a little less well aged. Some have been a bit harsh and over flavoured. Still makes a great D&S

Hodně je z něho cítit kávové aroma. Není úplně špatný ale jsou určitě lepší. Nicméně neurazí.

I just buy it for that and it does the job for my go to easy drink. Burning, bit harsh on its own.

Strong slightly treacle aroma on opening with slight burnt overtone might not suit everyone but this really suited my taste buds. I got some spice flavours at the end of cinnamon and perhaps nutmeg. Delicious mixed. Highly recommended!!
