Siesta Key Spiced

Great spiced rum with notes of butterscotch, caramel, and cinnamon.

For something that is local to the Sarasota area it is really good

Spiced rums are supposed to be dark and brooding, with an excessively vast spice bouquet that works together with a high proof to beat your tastebuds into submission! They're dominated by vanilla, added molasses and most improtantly: alcohol!
Meanwhile you've got this little pansey over here, sitting at 35% and boasting no components any fiercer than a cinnamon graham cracker. It feels watery, and carries a dainty sweetness from added honey. It feels watery, with some spices doing a nice little ballet in your mouth, which then gather around the (tiny) fire to discuss their feelings...
As if this wasn't made clear, this is a super pleasant rumOH GOSH NO I mean this rum is weak, and light, and is perfect for adding a spice kick to your drinksDANG IT! It can't even ramp up your cocktails ABV while adding some depthGAHH! Ok, the jig is up... This is far and away the most friendly and tasty of the spiced rums I've had! This stuff is a steal at only $25, and it is so darn drinkable!

This was pretty good stuff. It's easy on the nose and tastes great. Not much burn very smooth and can be enjoyed neat or mixed. Picked this up while visiting Siesta Key and really enjoy having this in my collection.

Superbly drinkable, like a gingerbread cookie in a glass. One of the best spiced rums I have had. You don't even have to drink it, just smell it.

Nice spiced rum. Good flavor. Didn’t enjoy as a sipping rum, but really liked with some A&W Diet Root Beer.

Tasty spiced rum from Florida. Very good choice especially for low $$ . Strong pumpkin spices along with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Finished with some vanilla and honey. Sweet but not overly sweet and still maintains a natural taste unlike some spiced rums. I still prefer Brinley Shipwreck Gold but this is most definitely worth keeping on hand .

In the Mouth 50/60

... and I've done a lot of "research". For that guy who started on Captain Morgan in college, then grew to enjoy some of the finer things in life, this is a great way to go back to my roots. A local rum made in Florida that is hands-down my favorite spiced rum. For those critical of the sweeter rums, this one isn't for you. They don't hide the fact that they add honey with the spices before aging, but the final result is worth it. You can pick out the honey, clove, and nutmeg, and at 70% abv, it's pretty smooth. Use in anything you would have used the Cap'n to kick it up a notch. I like it with Coke and lime.

Smooth and sweet with honey. A touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, but easy to drink neat. Soft sweet finish, enjoyable in the mouth. It got a bit cloying on my second glass, but if you like honey, then this is quite tasty.

This rum has the most pronounced nutmeg flavor that I have ever tried. However, knowing what I know about the aftermath effects of nutmeg, I would not even think of drinking too much of this. A common practice on Caribbean party boats is to add lots of nutmeg to high proof rum punch. Everyone is very happy at the end of the trip and the tips flow more easily into the buckets with the tour guides grinning from ear to ear. And the next day, all of those party animals are all sick as can be with king hell headaches.

This is indeed one very tasty and unique spiced rum. Just be careful on over doing it. It can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or in very exotic tropical drinks that do not include sodas.

Update a few days later: Both the positive and negative effects of the nutmeg have been obliterated by whatever secret this distiller knows. I doubt that honey is the secret, but it certainly takes away from the tropical flavors, so I now dock it one point.
