Peaky Blinders Black Spiced

Not spectacular but at the good end of standard spiced rums. I would buy again

Pours a nice cola colour. Definitely a rum and raisin aroma, lots of sweetness on the nose, plenty of vanilla and some orange and a mild hit of spice. Very pleasant. Taste is slightly different, you get spice right up front, very peppery, smooth and fruity with a sweet hit as it lengthens out, not as sweet as the aroma in the mouth.

Very sweet rum. Easy to drink for anyone, even people who don't like rum 🤪

unfortunatly i don't like it that much, reminds me of coughing syrop or jagermeister. Still do-able if you mix it with soda or when you are already are a bit tipsy

I didn’t find this rum until we were well into the Christmas season and the nutmeg flavour seemed wildly appropriate.

This rum quickly shot into my top 5 after a few sips. For the price you would pay for this bottle is exceptional for the quality of rum you get.

This in an incredibly smooth and flavourful drink that I couldn’t help but share around with every rum drinker I knew.

Highly recommended.

Very very good spiced rum, has more vanilla than DMF

This spiced rum is named after the famed ‘Peaky Blinders’ of the midlands and TV show. The Sadler Brewing Co also hail from Stourbridge in the Midlands. As well as this delightfully dark spiced rum they offer a range of other Peaky Blinder inspired spirits which include an Irish whiskey and gin as well as a stock of ales.

The black spiced rum is a good 40% abv and typically comes in a 70cl bottle. It has won a Gold Medal Winner prize at San Francisco Spirit Competition in 2020. It costs around the £22 mark.

In terms of the rum itself it is obviously dark in colour, on the nose the vanilla really shines through, on the palate the orange peel notes are very predominate. As per usual I tried it with a variety of different mixers, whilst tasting it with tonic I discovered it really brought out some of the flavours but left it a little bitter, I added some simple syrup and lime juice and this seemed to balance it, I wondered if it was shaken with ice, syrup and lime juice and the strained and then adding tonic whether this would really elevate this drink. The other mixer which worked well with this rum was coke, few ice cubes and a slice of lime made this a really strong, punchy Cuba Libre.

Overall this is a good rum and it is easy to see why it has won awards, it was my first delve into the branch of dark spiced rums and I think this is a much better alternative to other brands such as Kraken.

As I am not a huge fan of spiced rum, but this one is not entirely bad. The sweetness is somewhere in the middle of the spiced rums range. Overall, the smell and taste is somewhere between spiciness of Dead Man's Fingers, cocoa/coffee tones of Black Tears and vanilla/spicy style of Kraken. The rum base is almost hidden in the flavor, the aftertaste is on the bitter side, with a bit of an alcohol bite. If you like spiced rums such as Kraken, Dead Man's Fingers or Black Tears - you might like this one as well.

A sweet dark rum, heavily loaded with spice and vanilla with a rich dried fruit finish.

Very spiced as for me. Cola taste just already in this rum so you dont need to add more ) Good probably as a mixer but not to sip. Vanilla, a lot of sugar, plastic, no age..
