No surprise here that this is a vanilla heavy sweet rum.

Initially I wasn't very sure about this one as the vanilla is initial a bit overwhelming. You can smell and taste the real vanilla bean in here no artificial stuff there (but you never know) and has a nice spicy kick at the end.

Nice to see for a change that a spiced rum has been at least bottled at 40% abv so it can take a little water which actually calms the vanilla down a little bit and opens up the other citrus and spicy flavours.

Not too expensive in the UK for around £24. Can see this working really well in cocktails although I expect you will have to do some experimenting to get the vanilla balance right.

Very nice with coconut water.

Tried it on holiday and loved it, ended up bringing back a bottle and been replacing it constantly. Vanilla rum with coke on a hot day is hard to beat

Tonight's Rum: Pink Pigeon from Mauritius. Re-sampling. There's a lot of orange and vanilla in the bouquet of this nice Rum. You might even detect a bit of clove or nutmeg. This one comes off as a spiced Rum. The first taste is of vanilla and hint of chocolate, the orange doesn't continue. In the mouth, a bit of a swirl is mild, not to sharp. On the throat it's sweet with a bit of earthiness, still strong with vanilla. The finish has a slight bitterness, but now the orange and other citrus notes appear. It's a light Rum overall well suited for being served neat. 8 out of 10.

It look like a normal rum but is actually very strong in vanilla. Good to mix or as liqueur alternative.

It's way too sweet but good as girls drink. Gingerbread.

A vanilla ice cream tinge to a light flavour. An almost thick consistency yet easy to drink.

Un rhum avec un gout de vanille prononcé mais pas désagréable.

After reading some average reviews, I didn't hold out much hope, but was pleasantly surprised that this was a nice drinkable rum straight.
