Black Tears Spiced

Fantastic Cuban rum.
I tried this at a rum tasting event over zoom and it was incredible.
This history of this rum is fascinating and very complex .
Tasting notes had a dry start not tobacco, followed by chilli peppers and finishing with cacao ...

I think Foursquare is a nicer spiced rum if you prefer sweeter but for dry lovers out there , this is the stuff

Keiner den man pur trinkt, mit Cola gibt es eine doch sehr leckere Kaffe-Schoko-Cola! Also zum mit schon ganz gut!

Helle goldene Erscheinung. Sehr angenehmer Geruch nach Kaffee/Karamell. Im Geschmack süßlich und mit leichter Schärfe im Abgang. Insgesamt gut pur zu trinken.

To me Black Tears spiced is a good rum to mix with gingerbeer (dark 'n' stormy)
Neat or on the rocks isn't bad but there are much tastier spiced rums outhere to drink that way.

Surprises to see the Cuban ribbon on this Canadian bottled rum. It is not like the other Cuban rums. It smells vanilla without the taste. It is dry not too harsh with a cocoa aftertaste. I enjoyed sipping on ice. Very nice with pretzels on a winter night.

...I tried it with coke and did not like it. The mixture between coffee and coke does (in my opinion) not go to well...

I enjoyed it a lot more on the rocks and could imagine it goes good with either cake or ice cream.

The smell itself is a bit better than it tastes,...not really a burn to it and dry.

On the palate as in the nose: soft and sweet, full body with nuances of dark chocolate and toffee, rounded off by accents of coffee and dried dark fruits.

I don't like spiced one at all, except stiggins fancy, but this one doesn't hurt nobody 😉

A very simple rum, amber in colour, lightly spiced so it doesn't immediately hit you with flavour but smooth enough to have straight or with dessert. Not my favourite rum, it is just too simple and not enough flavour. If you're looking for something light with very little bite this would be a decent choice.

The smell is delicious. Sweet but not overpowering and a well balanced rum. Neat it tastes a bit disappointing. Not smooth at all with a bit of burn. Mixed with coke it improves again and makes for a nice rum and coke. Overall - quite good as a mixer.
