Essence of fall on the nose with strong nutmeg. Vanilla forward with a sweet caramel after the vanilla and finishing with Allspice and a gentle warm heat. Overall very smooth. Drink on ice to break down the sugars.

It reminds me the El Dorado 12 years which I gave an 8/10, but with a way too much present cheap vanilla flavour that completely ruins the taste for me. You must love vanilla to enjoy it. Much creamy than spicy. Really smooth though, not burning. Itβs the only positive aspect of this rum.

I mixed it in a Dark and Stormy. If the aromas and flavors can stand up to the Ginger Beer they should shine in any mixed drink. The smell of this was enticing enough I may try a pour on ice. But really, I've got enough fine aged rums to sip.This brings the spice and vanilla I'm looking for in cocktails that need a good spiced rum.

I really like this spiced rum, and some other reviewers said this was even better than the Kraken. It's close. I find it better than the Kraken Black Label (35%), but I prefer the Kraken White Label (47%) to this. All three are very close in my opinion.
Smells and tastes of spice, vanilla, butterscotch, and cocoa. It's a very nice spiced rum!

Much better than expected. Drinkable on it's own, very nice with a splash of cola on ice. Reasonably priced. Much nicer than the standard Lemon Hart rums.

Dark brown sugar sweetness, mild baking spices, vanilla. Warm, sweet, spices with long finish. Ok neat, will be great in a cocktail
Blackpool Lemon Hart & Sons Rum, need I say more?
Simply an excellent Guyana dark Rum with Demerara sugar, very hard to beat...

Start with nice spices like nutmeg⦠it finishes flat. No excitement for a spiced rum.

Great nose of vanilla and nutmeg, but flat taste a bit rancid finish. Not much burn only at end

I then turned this into a Rum Rickey and it was AMAZING
Flavor: anise, cinnamon, vanilla
Aroma: smoky but perhaps that's the Old Fashioned that someone else ordered
8/10
EDIT: tasted July 27, 2022 during Kill Devil Rum Club tasting
From the notes: I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. This is my official rum of Christmas from now on.
*the 5/5 score on this rating moves this rating up to a 9/10

Good value and taste in a spiced rum

Sugar: Estimated at 20 GPL as it's very close to Kraken. I used this one in a taste test of spiced rums with my wife and a couple of friends. I liked this one, but most preferred the Kraken as they found it smoother. This rum has a nice vanilla aroma with a touch of cocoa and of course the spices like nutmeg associated with spiced rums. There is one thing that I would caution you about this rum. Let it breathe as it's got a sharp alcohol taste and aroma. It's a bit harsh as a straight up sipper but it would be okay with some ice. Letting it breath a bit really helps. As a mixer it's quite good and Christmas (or a guest request) are the only times that I look for a spiced rum. If you can't find the Kraken, then buy this one.
