Is it or isn't it a rum? Debatable. One source says it's made from "sugar cane by-products" (whatever that is) and another source says it's made from sugar beets.

Before I share my views on this...er..."rum"...let me explain that I am also a chili-head. That is, I love hot sauces. However I know my limits. You're not going to ever see me eat a Carolina Reaper pepper....ever...nor slather on a lot of hot sauce made from the Carolina Reaper pepper, the hottest pepper on the planet reaching as high as a little over 2 million Scoville units (for comparison, the typical jalapeno ranges from a mere 2,500 to 10,000 Scoville units).

Well it's the same for rum...especially this "rum"...or whatever you want to call it. At 160 proof it's double the ABV of typical rums. In fact, the neck label on my bottle reads, "CAUTION FLAMMABLE".

The aroma in the bottle hints of vanilla extract and maybe caramel. The lower label on my bottle reads, "Rum with artificial flavor, certified colors (FD&C yellow #6, FD&C Red #40, FD&C blue #1 and FD&C yellow #5" so it is possible they used some sort of vanilla extract or artificial caramel flavoring. The color is sort of a dirty orange reminding me of some bad cough medicine my mother gave me...uh...forced down my throat when I was a kid.

On the tongue...uh...my tongue got somewhat numb sampling it straight. I THINK I detected some vanilla and sweetness but I can't be sure. However I think it removed a layer of tissue down my throat. I shudder to think what my stomach lining is going through.

I have had worse rums than this but I have had more better rums. Frankly, this Austian-based "rum" is way overpriced. I wanted to try a bottle since I have read a lot about it so my curiosity got the better of me.

DEFINITELY NOT A SIPPING RUM!!!

No duh!

I do plan on trying some...a small amount...in some Coke Zero sometime...not tonight...and perhaps also with some orange juice to see if that helps.

Never again, had to try it so I can see what it was like.

Burns lips, numbs lips, tastes like medicine

Perhaps use in a cake or to kill weeds on your lawn

Lo Stroh Original 80, dalla gradazione alcolica di 80% sul volume, e proveniente dall'Austro-Ungheria prima, e dall'Austria adessoo, è un prodotto aromatizzato probabilmente pensato per essere impiegato nel punch o in altri preparati e cocktail, ma non per essere sorbito liscio.
Canna da zucchero, frutta secca e un sentore cioccolatoso si smorzano sul palato travolti dall'acidità e dalla forza dell'alcol rendendolo effettivamente un rum del tutto trascurabile.

I have the previous edition of this rum, but the taste is the same as the current name. It is so strong that it is not easy to drink it alone, but here in Poland it is not a problem 😊
It is perfect as an addition to winter tea.

In fact, It is a cake ingredient but who wouldn't be tempted to try it clean, like I was. I do not make cakes anyway. The %% will kick your bottocks. Behind this gasoline-grade-power is surprisingly good flavor. The taste remains me tuzemak, people of former Czechoslovakia know what it means. There is 40% version on the market for sissies. Bottle is in almost-hidden-under-jacket shape... ;)

Taste is suprisingly good. Taste like good tuzemák. But is super strong.

Ok as a mixer too harsh to sip but works well with cola

This is great rum for the hot chocolatesauce you put over your ice cream, or mixing with molten Mars candy-bars again for your ice cream dessert.

Pour it over a sliced open bananas and bake em with some chocolate on a BBQ.

Or put it in your coke if you are over 85 years old.

There is some vanilla taste but gets instantly oevrpowered with alcohol and burn. Mixed it could work. Good for suicides.
