Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced 4-Year

I drink spiced rum neat and like to have some low alcohol sippers available in addition to Kraken and Sailor Jerry, (my favorites) so i try out different shelf products available at my local stores. This rum tastes okay but it has a hardness that isn’t pleasurable. Can’t put my finger on it. I want to try another bottle again sometime.

Liked the price. Under $23 at TW in Delaware. Like the bottle design. Like the soft warm sweet vanilla banana and spice aroma. Like the taste. Not terribly sweet and aftertaste is smooth. But it just seems to be more of a liquor to put on ice cream or as an after dinner aperitif. There is no kick to it. It is only 36% alcohol but even that amount seems high for the taste. I do really like it but at the same time it feels like it comes up short and it is hard to say exactly why. But I am not disappointed at all in the purchse.

I was expecting this to be a great rum for my rum and cokes from the recommendations on here but it didn't deliver. It has a nice spice to it but I didn't get the flavor profile from it being mixed with coke that I was looking for. I shared it with a neighbor and he loved it so I gave him the bottle.

Spiced rum is my thing, I found this rum to be good but a bit on the boring side for flavors. Had a nice little burn at the end when drinking neat.

I have finished about half a bottle, drinking mixed and neat.

I still maintain that this rum was way too expensive for how mediocre it was.

It's good but not 26 US dollars good.

So the good parts of captain morgan but better quality nice vanilla nose smooth finish, a go-to spiced rum mixer or neat for rum lovers

Great flavor with notes of vanilla and oak. A truly great sipping rum.

A friend recommended this one to me and glad he did. Nutmeg and vanilla notes stand out for me. I like it as a sipper and it works nice with a cola.

Nice amber in color. Sweet banana and vanilla on the nose. Very soft and full bodied taste of banana, vanilla, nuts. Subtle and nice alcohol taste, lasts quite long time. Very nice for sipping.

It has a bit of a bite to it and an almost sweet aftertaste. It is one of my favorites for rum and coke. Absolutely love it. I bought it originally because of the label. I finished my first bottle so quickly. It trumps Captain Morgan any day of the week for me.

Flavourful sweet spiced rum, gave me plenty of flavours on my tounge. Great to sip with ice and ginger. This is my kind of rum, Sad I finished my bottle to fast. I will have this bottle always in my carbinet. I Will also try Brinley vanilla next time.
